Hello sailors,
I have been job hunting for a while and I have felt a great disadvantage in my job search due to my lack of access to high-quality LLMs. Writing cover letters is honestly so bullshit. GPT-3 is honestly quite bad nowadays, but as a true pirate at heart I couldn’t quite get myself to cough up the coin for OpenAI’s GPT4 out of principle. I hate them for putting their cutting edge technology behind a paywall, making it inaccessible for their own gain. I feel like this is not what the internet was supposed to be. So today, call me the great emancipator cuz i’m teaching u how to get that shi for free baby
Requirements: Docker
It’s all gonna be based off of this github repo: gpt4free
Installing through docker (there’s also a way to install with Python PIP if that’s more convenient for you. The docker worked for me though)
-
docker pull hlohaus789/g4f -
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 1337:1337 -p 7900:7900 --shm-size="2g" -v ${PWD}/hardir:/app/hardir hlohaus789/g4f:latest -
Open up the webui in your browser at localhost:8080
-
In the “Provider” dropdown in the bottom look for “Liaobots”
-
Choose “gpt-4-plus” under the “Models” dropdown
??? Profit
The cool thing about gpt4free is that there’s a lot of providers and a lot of models to choose from! So if gpt-4-plus from Liaobot doesn’t work for you you can switch to something else easily. Do note that some models require you to provide an authentication token or be logged in. Most of them work right out of the box tho.
*this post was not made with any use of an llm I promise ;)

AI Horde provides LLMs for free. They’re not GPT4, but they’re uncensored and crowdsourced by the community. There’s also not tracking or ads. Here’s a frontend for LLMs. No need to install anything either. If you have a decent GPU, you can also assist others with generations
Thanks for this 🙌 this is also pretty good
Oh, man. I hope you won’t take this poorly, but I can promise you that setting up some kind of GPT4-based LLM to wrote cover letters won’t help you find another job. Not ever.
I’m not sure if you’re trolling (if you are, LOL), but this is not the tree to bark up. Good luck though. The job market sucks at the moment.
Cover letters are about showing you are willing to put the effort in to writing a cover letter, nobody actually reads cover letters. LLMs are great for them until companies realize everyone is just using LLMs.
They already know that and have since people started using LLMs.
Also, if you write a cover letter with an LLM and don’t tweak it, it’s obvious to anyone who knows what to look for.

I might self-host it and provide the mirror for friends and stuff. I’ll let you know when the motivation strikes me and i’ll send u a link :-)
OP, is this online or will I need a big CPU with lots of storage to run this?
online :)
I never apply to jobs that require a cover letter. Most of them have shitty work environments anyways
big facts but homeboy needs the money
My job has no cover letter, 2 interviews and it’s probably the best dev job I’ve had. All about finding a company that values your time as a person and not just as an employee. If they make you jump through bs to get hired, they’re gonna make you jump through BS to work. I could make 20k more at one of those companies but id hate my work and have no balance.
Congrats but some of us don’t have that luxury. Using an LLM to generate a cover letter is fine, as long as you don’t add any PII and revise it yourself so it isn’t obvious a chatbot wrote it.
Of course you do? There are jobs that won’t put you through bullshit just to work there. I never said it wasn’t fine, but making you jump through hoops is a sign of a bad workplace.
Cover letters are an established standard in my region, it may be different in yours. I can count on one hand the number of employers I’ve come across who explicitly decline a cover letter.
If you don’t mind me asking where is that? I definitely see a lot of it but it’s not ubiquitous.
This is just free local models right? Not models from OpenAI.
No these are not local models. It’s an all-in-one front end for different LLM providers and models. Although in the documentation you can specify your own local model
Yeah, so just free models available, unless you already bought the paid ones. I fail to see the piracy part, or the “free chatgpt”. You’re just advertising that there are free alternatives, which I don’t mind particularly, but it just came of as something else.
Tried out GPT4 when it first dropped. Glorified chatbot that has zero agency. I struggle to find an application for it other than summarizing blocks of text.
Oh and also for docker noobs, you might wanna put a
sudobefore the docker commands ;)Do not sudo docker… And run images you don’t deeply know, connected to services you don’t host.
You could also just run podman. No daemon and rootless out of the box.
