I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong here, but openwebui has been weird for me. I’ve tried running nanonets-ocr, but it only read the last lines visible on a photo. And other models would start reprocessing the whole chat and ignoring the last image I post, answering with the context of the previous reply instead… Using the websearch is easy with it though, so I think I’ll keep an eye on it and maybe will try again later

Yeah, it kind of what it was in the beginning, wasn’t it? I remember telling people that it was just like Netflix for games, both in the positive and in the negative sense. And Netflix was still viewed more positively at that point.

Managed to run it with llama.cpp. It was a great suggestion, thank you! MiniCPM-o-2_6 iq4 managed to read text from a picture of a shirt that gemma could not get right

Ok, turned out to be as simple to run as downloading llama.cpp binaries, gguf of gemma3 and an mmproj file and running it all like this

./llama-server -m ~/LLM-models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-IQ4_NL.gguf --mmproj ~/LLM-models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-mmproj-F16.gguf --port 5002

(Could be even easier if I’d let it download weights itself, and just used -hf option instead of -m and —mmproj).

And now I can use it from my browser at localhost:5002, llama.cpp already provides an interface there that supports images!

Tested high resolution images and it seems to either downscale or cut them into chunks or both, but the main thing is that 20 megapixels photos work fine, even on my laptop with no gpu, they just take a couple of minutes to get processed. And while 4b model is not very smart (especially quantized), it could still read and translate text for me.

Need to test more with other models but just wanted to leave this here already in case someone stumbles upon this question and wants to do it themselves. It turned out to be much more accessible than expected.

How is it even going to work though? The SDK is under NDA, there is no documentation and devkits are not sold freely, so random studios can’t just develop games for Playstation and upload to a 3rd party marketplace

Sounds like what I’m looking for! What do you use for inference?

Vivaldi browser has one built-in. It doesn’t always work and some websites just block you for using adblocker, but at least this article looked fine in it with no ads.

Thank you for doing these!

And I still don’t get what is the value proposition for the Junk Store when Heroic exists, seems like it allows for less tinkering and I don’t see it as a positive thing considering how janky the Linux experience can still be at times

Looks like what I’m looking for, and llama.cpp has added support this year, so should be easy to try, thank you!

Thank you, haven’t heard of it before and it looks really interesting! I need to test how it works with llama.cpp, I wonder how it works with resolutions higher than supported, will it get downscaled

There is also Veloren that is free, open source, and looks pretty good

Maybe they forgot they have to compete as well then, because it doesn’t look like they know how to do that

I hate this Microsoft cycle so much: buy gaming studios, do fuck all with them, fire all staff, close studios, rinse, repeat. So much talent and so many great IPs down the drain because MS can’t decide what the fuck are they doing

Enter the Matrix, I loved the slowmo effects and the fights, the first hallway scene felt like it was straight from the movie. Using the computer terminal to unlock stuff felt magical. Only later I learned that Path of Neo was supposed to be a better Matrix game while Enter the Matrix was universally panned. And I’ve played it too, but didn’t get as much enjoyment out of it, it just didn’t have as much soul

That Nickelodeon Kart series is not too bad too, maybe it doesn’t look or play as well as the Disney one, but at least you get the characters with the game

Iirc anomaly already uses an alternative engine and doesn’t even require the base game to run, so it would change nothing for them

Github is a platform to upload your code to using git (a source code versioning system that allows you to store different versions of your program code, history of all changes to it, etc., and to collaborate with other people to work on the same project with each person working on their own part and then merging the changes together). You can check other people’s projects, upload yours, leave comments, create issue reports, copy others’ work and make a “fork” of the software, and much more. Among other things you can download the latest releases of the software provided by the developers, usually installation instructions are provided on the project page, and the latest releases can be found under the Releases tab.

Nikujin by ikiki, and other games by the same developer. Not sure where to find them now, but they were some of the greatest freeware games I have played.
