IMatch AI Chat App - problems with Ollama

[sinus]

I guess, I do something wrong.
I wanted to look at the IMatch AI Chat App.

I installed Ollma, then the model, because the 13b worked not, I downloaded the "llama 3.2-vison" because this is also in the dropdown of IMatch.

But I cannot make the App run. I am sure, I make something wrong, but I can not figure it out.

Mario, btw: you have nice videos, I have to look at these all.

Please select a model in the drop-down box at the top-right of the app.
The app assumes that you have the LLaVA model installed (the model used everywhere in the help) but you apparently have not yet. This is why the box is empty.

Ah, so stupid of me, SORRY, thanks a lot.

To be honest, I am completely confused about the terms llama, LLaVA, mistral etc. 

So I thought I'd check how it works and THEN see which model is best for me.

And if I've read this correctly, nothing happens to the pictures when I use the 'IMatch AI Chat App'.
When I feel a bit more confident and know more (read all your help, watch videos...), then I'll turn to the Auto Tagger.

I think, this whole AI-stuff, takes quite some time, to understand and use it best.

But just now I do still read the release notes, point by point.

See AI Service Providers, where I try to explain how the commercial and Ollama work.

No. There is a command to copy the AI response into the description, but that's up to you.

The AI Chat app is not really the best tool to use to gain experience with AI. It's designed for advanced users to directly chat with a local Ollama model, to test prompts and stuff.

For your first steps, I recommend you just run AutoTagger on a set of files. The defaults should just be right (description and keywords stored in the IMatch AI tags, default prompt).

Thanks, Mario

I will try to do so.

Thats's easier. Watch the video tutorial,

run ollama llava

to install the model used in the video and help and see what this can do for you, with the smallest model, no cost and privacy issues.
