Thought I would share my fun learning adventure with fellow Ferrari fans. I downloaded a free program called Ollama and a free program called PrivateGPT. I loaded a model called llama2-uncensored and then used the PrivateGPT software to "train" the existing model with my personal PDFs. (I spent time on this because I want an AI that does not share info with "others". ) Once the few PDFs were ingested I started privateGPT and started asking questions: Enter a query: who makes the 360 car model? The 360 car model was made by Ferrari. Enter a query: What is the weight of the Ferrari 360 ? The curb weight for a Ferrari 360 is approximately 1480 kg (3,257 lb) without any optional extras. Enter a query: What motor oil should be used in the Ferrari 360 ? The recommended motor oil for a Ferrari 360 is synthetic, high-performance SAE 5W-30. You can find this oil at most reputable auto parts stores or online retailers that specialize in performance and racing car parts. Enter a query: Did Ferrari have a campaign to replace Ferrari 360 tenioners? Yes, Ferrari did have a campaign to replace the timing variator and tensioner on all 360 models with engine numbers below 60796. This was done as part of Service Campaign 97. Enter a query: Tell me what you know about the Ferrari 360 variators The Ferrari 360 has a timing belt that drives the crankshaft and camshaft, which in turn powers the engine. The belt is replaced at regular intervals to prevent it from stretching and causing damage to the engine. The replacement procedure involves replacing several components including the variators and tensioner. The Ferrari 360 has two different variator systems: the original system that was introduced in 1999-2001 models and the newer system that was introduced in 2004-2005 models (non-LMB). The earlier system had a timing belt with pulleys, while the later system has a timing chain. Both systems have variators and tensioners that need to be replaced periodically. In the 1999-2001 model year, the original 360 Variator System was introduced which included the VD (Variator Drive) system in which two variator pulleys were connected by a timing belt and a tensioner. In 2004-2005 model years, the new LMB system was introduced with a timing chain instead of a timing belt that drives the crankshaft and camshaft. The VD Variator Drive System is not compatible with this later system, but it can be installed on the original 360 models manufactured between 1999-2005. The timing variators and tensioners for both systems are made of different materials and have unique specifications. For example, the original VD Variator Drive System uses a non-lubricated thread with a tightening torque of 160 Nm, while the newer LMB system uses an anti-seize lubricant on all threaded connections. Regarding the supplier and specification for these parts, Ferrari has their own in-house team that designs and manufactures the components used in their vehicles. However, they also collaborate with trusted external suppliers who meet their strict quality standards. Overall, the timing variators and tensioners are critical components of the 360 engine's functioning and need to be replaced at regular intervals to prevent any damage to the engine. Enter a query: How do I change the oil on my F360 ? The procedure for changing the oil and filters on a Ferrari F360 is as follows: Step 1: Park the vehicle on level ground and turn off all engine related accessories, including the ignition. Step 2: Remove the engine oil dipstick from its housing and clean it with a rag or paper towel. Step 3: Wait for 5-10 minutes until the engine has cooled down completely before proceeding. Step 4: Remove the oil filler cap (located on the left side of the bonnet) and check that the engine is warm enough (the temperature should be around 80°C). If not, wait for a few more minutes before continuing. Step 5: Check the oil level using the dipstick (it should be between the minimum and maximum levels indicated on the stick). Add oil if necessary until the correct level is reached. Step 6: Remove the engine oil filter by unscrewing it from its housing with a ratchet set or wrench. Step 7: Carefully remove the old oil filter with the appropriate tool (oil filter removal pliers or specialized tools). Step 8: Re-install the new oil filter and tighten it securely with a ratchet set or wrench. Step 9: Repeat steps 4 through 8 for changing the transmission fluid filter, differential oil filters, and differential cooler plate if applicable. Step 10: Start the engine and check that all systems are working properly before driving. For entertainment purposes only
While I haven't had the chance to experiment with the recently released Llama 70B model, I've explored several LLMs available on Hugging Face. I was curious to see how their performance differed on my private data using privateGPT. However, given the limitations of my laptop's GPU and RAM, I primarily focused on models under 4 gigabytes in size. This restricted the potential impact I observed. The most exciting aspect is the shift from "searching" for answers to directly requesting the "answer" (with a healthy dose of critical evaluation, of course!). This shift reflects my increased reliance on AI for tasks that search engines traditionally handled. Do you utilize AI in your daily workflow?
