ghostwrAIter - a local AI assisted tool for helping with support cases by paolodepa

Description

This project is meant to fight the loneliness of the support team members, providing them an AI assistant (hopefully) capable of scraping supportconfigs in a RAG fashion, trying to answer specific questions.

Goals

• Setup an Ollama backend, spinning one (or more??) code-focused LLMs selected by license, performance and quality of the results between:
  • deepseek-coder-v2
  • dolphin-mistral
  • starcoder2
  • (...others??)
    
• Setup a Web UI for it, choosing an easily extensible and customizable option between:
  • openwebui
  • localAI
  • lobachat
  • (...others??)
    
• Extend the solution in order to be able to:
  • Add ZIU/Concord shared folders to its RAG context
  • Add BZ cases, splitted in comments to its RAG context
    • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query BZ
  • Add specific packages picking them from IBS repos
    • A plus would be to login using the IDP portal to ghostwrAIter itself and use the same credentials to query IBS
    • A plus would be to desume the packages of interest and the right channel and version to be picked from the added BZ cases

Make more sense of openQA test results using AI by livdywan

Description

AI has the potential to help with something many of us spend a lot of time doing which is making sense of openQA logs when a job fails.

User Story

Allison Average has a puzzled look on their face while staring at log files that seem to make little sense. Is this a known issue, something completely new or maybe related to infrastructure changes?

Goals

• Leverage a chat interface to help Allison
• Create a model from scratch based on data from openQA
• Proof of concept for automated analysis of openQA test results

Bonus

• Use AI to suggest solutions to merge conflicts
  • This would need a merge conflict editor that can suggest solving the conflict
• Use image recognition for needles

Resources

• TensorFlow
• open-webui
• openQA instance of openSUSE
• openQA documentation

Timeline

Day 1

• Conversing with open-webui to teach me how to create a model based on openQA test results
  • Asking for example code using TensorFlow in Python
  • Discussing log files to explore what to analyze
  • Drafting a new project called Testimony (based on Implementing a containerized Python action) - the project name was also suggested by the assistant

Day 2

• Using NotebookLLM (Gemini) to produce conversational versions of blog posts
  • Writing openQA tests in Python
  • Developing in distrobox containers
• Researching the possibility of creating a project logo with AI
  • Asking open-webui, persons with prior experience and conducting a web search for advice

Highlights

• I briefly tested compared models to see if they would make me more productive. Between llama, gemma and mistral there was no amazing difference in the results for my case.
• Convincing the chat interface to produce code specific to my use case required very explicit instructions.
• Asking for advice on how to use open-webui itself better was frustratingly unfruitful both in trivial and more advanced regards.
• Documentation on source materials used by LLM's and tools for this purpose seems virtually non-existent - specifically if a logo can be generated based on particular licenses

Outcomes

• Chat interface-supported development is providing good starting points and open-webui being open source is more flexible than Gemini. Although currently some fancy features such as grounding and generated podcasts are missing.
• Allison still has to be very experienced with openQA to use a chat interface for test review. Publicly available system prompts would make that easier, though.

Run local LLMs with Ollama and explore possible integrations with Uyuni by PSuarezHernandez

Description

Using Ollama you can easily run different LLM models in your local computer. This project is about exploring Ollama, testing different LLMs and try to fine tune them. Also, explore potential ways of integration with Uyuni.

Goals

• Explore Ollama
• Test different models
• Fine tuning
• Explore possible integration in Uyuni

Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by ninopaparo

Description

Learn how to integrate Elixir and Phoenix Liveview with LLMs by building an application that can provide answers to user queries based on a corpus of custom-trained data.

Goals

Develop an Elixir application via the Phoenix framework that:

• Employs Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques
• Supports the integration and utilization of various Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Is designed with extensibility and adaptability in mind to accommodate future enhancements and modifications.

Use AI tools to convert legacy perl scripts to bash by nadvornik

Description

Use AI tools to convert legacy perl scripts to bash

Goals

Uyuni project contains legacy perl scripts used for setup. The perl dependency could be removed, to reduce the container size. The goal of this project is to research use of AI tools for this task.

Resources

Aider

Results:

Aider is not the right tool for this. It works ok for small changes, but not for complete rewrite from one language to another.

I got better results with direct API use from script.
