Steps to Reproduce

Notes

[jacoobes]

This pr accomplishes the following:

• typescript bindings officially on NPM. Will be published under the alpha tag as it is still in active development
  • performant as it handles dynamic library calls natively (no ffi)
  • support for CommonJs and ESM module resolution systems
  • fluent and simple interface
• documentation
• API resemblance of its python counterpart
• Utilities including downloading models and retrieval of available models

I'll mark as ready once everything is good to review

This commit also rewrites the history to remove *.dll and *.so files specifically in the typescript directory that we accidentally committed. This changes commit https://github.com/jacoobes/gpt4all/commit/394fd301d1b7db4f01f0a0cd621c58f01bb791f1, which made git diverge history.

I used the git filter-repo --invert-paths --path-glob '**/*{.dll, .so}' --path gpt4all-bindings/typescript/runtimes
command from https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/#simple-example-with-comparisons, so it shouldn't affect other paths in the repository

Apologies for the weird git stuff. If this PR needs to be redone, I can redo it

Is this currently published to NPM? If not how far off is it?

[jacoobes]

Right before publishing, I came across some bugs. Will investigate soon. And when it’s done, it’ll be published under the alpha tag
