Where is the point of this project if i have terminal ?

Very cool. Fun project. I feel like there’s a wide field to be explored once you understand fine tuning good existing models

Reminds me of this project from Microsoft. A Quake II “simulation” model where the whole application was just a model. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/articles/whamm-real...

It would be interesting to expose this on the internet. I wonder what the scrapers etc… would do with it.

Wow! This this reminds me of when we tried doing this with gpt 3 and.. it worked! The tmux thing had me confused for a moment until i realized it was emulating tmux. Super fun. Is the model window width aware?
