Hello everyone, I'm looking into Basilisk, which is a program that allows you to have conversations with multiple LLMs and handle them all in one place if you have API keys for those LLMs. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to import my entire conversation history with, say, ChatGPT into Basilisk. There's very little documentation right now, and I'd like to learn more in general about how to use it. What are, as another example, conversation profiles? This program looks really interesting; and as I consult an AI regularly for different things and keep an organic conversation going, I think I'd find it very useful rather than having to navigate through the web all the time. Thanks all. #AI #LLM #Technology #A11y #Screenreader #Blind #Basilisk.

@silveraura7@universeodon.com Unfortunately, basilisk, being an API client, doesn't really let you do conversation history like that at all, it maintains its own, and even that's recent. It also hasn't had official builds released in some time, all the changes are taking place on the tip of git master. Since it's using the API it does not interface with whatever the platform has for memory across conversations, and IDK if it even does prompt caching yet, which means as you lengthen conversations it will just send the entire history and thus will take longer and longer to respond. Maybe the API has a mode for that, though. Profiles are just a way of creating groups of settings, primarily the system prompt and some of the parameters like max tokens and temperature. You can also constrain a model to a profile, but I don't. I have a default profile that has my own system prompt.
