dex

Visual Pokedex for LLMs

demo

go to live demo with preprocessed models

run your own models in google colab

setup instructions

• after this just do npm install and npm run dev in the dex folder. This should start the application.
• for deploying to remote server use npm run build

how this works

• model repos on hf contains metadata files and the transformers repo contains the classes which are supposed to handle a model. we extract that information and save it in assets so that all of this can run in browser. we use torch device meta to avoiding loading stuff into memory.
• in case of being used from inside notebook, we do not write any files but keep the processed data in memory, and pass that information as query string to the iframe
