I absolutely love this and will try as many as possible very soon. I think "intelligent search" (asking LLM questions to search on the Web by communicating, preferably by voice) is one of the few solid use cases for LLM. I hate the idea of having this happen in the cloud with someone having my data, so doing this locally with my local LLM would be ideal.
Even after the release of GPT4o, Perplexity Pro with Claude 3 Opus is by far my most used LLM application. For me, the writing quality of Claude 3 combined with a wider variety of information sources makes it far surpass raw ChatGPT for most non-creative/non-interactive tasks.
I recommend Phind.com, it’s been much better and faster for me than Perplexity Pro. I typically use their custom 70B model but you can also use GPT4 o or Turbo, or Claude 3 Opus.
What would be even better, if it could also search my local repository of ebooks and pdfs. Most of the stuff I do, needs serious answers from books or papers I have already selected. Random webpages on the web don't cut it.
Citing the book section/page/paragraph would be magic.
I used to use qiqqa for local full text search of pdf library, I think the world has moved on to mendeley, and paperless(-ng) I believe performs the same function
The web search itself till happening on the cloud though? And instead of searching one provider it now searches multiple… not sure how much better this is really.
You're being downvoated, and I think the reason is this: there is a perceived difference in intentionally contributing something like a post on HN and having your personal searches be collected by Google.
