🎯 Features

💬 Chat

$ lmapp chat --model mistral
╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║        Chat with Mistral (Local)           ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

You: Explain quantum computing in simple terms

AI: Quantum computers use quantum bits (qubits) instead of regular bits.
While regular bits are 0 or 1, qubits can be both at once (superposition).
This lets them solve certain problems exponentially faster...

You: What are the use cases?

AI: Key use cases include:
  • Drug discovery (molecular simulation)
  • Finance (portfolio optimization)
  • Cryptography (breaking encryption)
  • Machine learning (optimization)

� VS Code Integration

Turn VS Code into an AI-powered IDE with our extension.

1. Start the Server:

   lmapp server start
   

2. Open Dashboard: Go to http://localhost:8000 to see status and chat.
3. Install Extension: Install lmapp-vscode (coming soon to marketplace).
4. Enjoy: Get inline code completions and chat directly in your editor.
