This is off-topic, but are there any communities or congregations (that aren't reddit) based around locally hosted LLMs? I'm asking because while I see a bunch of projects for exposing GGML/LLaMA to OpenAI compatible interfaces, some UIs, etc, I can't really find a good community or resources for the concept in general.

I'm working on a front-end for LLMs in general, having re-implemented a working version of OpenAI's code interpreter "plugin" already within the UI (and yes, I support file uploads), and support for the wealth of third-party OpenAI plugins that don't require auth (I've been testing with the first diagram plugin I found, it works well.) I'm planning to open source it once my breaking changes slow down.

This field moves very fast, I'm looking for feedback (and essentially testers/testing data) on what people want, and looking for prompts/chat logs/guidance templates (https://github.com/microsoft/guidance) for tasks they expect to "just work" with natural language.

Instead of being limited by the monetization for ChatGPT Plus (and limited number of messages every four hours) for extensibility within a chat interface, I want to open it and free it, with a Bring-Your-Own-(optionally local)-LLM/API key setup.

You might want to try some of the discord channels connected to some of the repos. i.e. GPT4All https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all scroll down for the discord link.
