Google Gemma 2B on LM Studio Inference Server: Real Testing
In my candid review of Google's Gemma 2B, I run the model on LM Studio's Local Inference Server. In my sincere evaluation, I base my assessment on tasks that align with my typical usage of Language Model Systems (LLMs). Without relying on benchmarks or scores, I go through some personal use cases to determine the practical utility of this model. Join me as I provide insights into my exploration, offering genuine perspectives on the effectiveness of Google Gemma.
Openai's Sora. Time to Learn AI Video Production?
We have seen AI video generation building quickly. With the release of the sample videos created with Sora, it appears that it is now official. Video Production has changed forever. For a good while, there will still be a need for videography, drone photography and videography, non-linear editing, motion graphics and 3d animation, but it appears that a new way of gathering assets and assembling them is rising fast. But, it seems those days are numbered.

LM Studio-Local Inference Server-NLP Upgrade Using Free Google Text to Speech API-Part 3
In this video, I'm upgrading and exploring the implementation of the Google Voice API to infuse my LLMs with a more natural and expressive voice, for better natural language processing. All code and instructions are in the GitHub repo linked below.
LM Studio-Local Inference Server-Voice Conversation-with Text Input Option-Part 2
Join me with LM Studio as I delve deeper into deploying an open source LLM on a local inference server. In this tutorial, I showcase my progress in developing an AI assistant implementing voice conversation and optional text typing GUI.
LM Studio Local Inference Server-Part 1
Tutorial on how to use LM Studio without the Chat UI using a local server. Deploy an open source LLM on LM Studio on your pc or mac without an internet connection. The files in this video include the function to initiate a conversation with the local-model and establishes roles and where the instructions come from. The setup allows the script to dynamically read the system message from text file, making it easy to update the system message, system prompt or pre-prompt (known in Chat GPT as custom instructions) without changing the script's code.
IR Remote Controlled Car Using a Protoshield
Part 1 | How to use an Arduino Proto Shield and Elegoo Prototyping Shield
How do you use an Arduino Proto Shield? What can you do with an Arduino prototyping shield? Why would you use a premade prototyping shield or prototype board?
Part 2 | IR Remote Controlled Car
I came up with 4 projects that use an Arduino Uno protoshield. The main project in this video was something I started that was worth moving from a breadboard and onto a protoshield; an IR Remote Controlled Car.

Episode 1 | How I got hooked on Arduino
A co-worker told me about Arduino, SBCs and the Maker Revolution/Movement. I researched it all and I was fascinated by what was discovered.
Episode 2 | How to Make a YouTube video
There are many approaches to how to shoot and produce a video. In the end you can only work with what you have. If you try to do everything perfectly and wait until you can afford to buy the best gear and get the best training you will not make videos for quite a while.
