# alpaca: ollama llm client
# - super simple, easy UI
#
# shortcomings (as of 6.1.7, 2025-07-23):
# - doesn't seem to do any prompt tuning;
# inherits all the pathologies of the underlying model (e.g. makes up citations)
#
# it creates a config dir, `~/.config/com.jeffser.Alpaca`, but apparently empty
#
# TODO: configure ollama connection details statically
# - until then, on first run:
# - select the non-"managed" ollama option.
# - connect to http://10.0.10.22:11434
# TODO: update the nix package 6.1.7 -> 7.5.2
# - i.e. review <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/420698>
