talk-llama : improve quote and backtick handling (#1364)
* ISSUE-1329: replace " with ' so it doesn't try to execute code in backticks.

* Typo

* Update to keep possessives in the output

Closes the ' then puts a ' in quotes then reopens the ' to escape the ' characters.

Building

The talk-llama tool depends on SDL2 library to capture audio from the microphone. You can build it like this:

# Install SDL2 on Linux
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

# Install SDL2 on Mac OS
brew install sdl2

# Build the "talk-llama" executable
make talk-llama

# Run it
./talk-llama -mw ./models/ggml-small.en.bin -ml ../llama.cpp/models/llama-13b/ggml-model-q4_0.gguf -p "Georgi" -t 8
  • The -mw argument specifies the Whisper model that you would like to use. Recommended base or small for real-time experience
  • The -ml argument specifies the LLaMA model that you would like to use. Read the instructions in https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp for information about how to obtain a ggml compatible LLaMA model

Session

The talk-llama tool supports session management to enable more coherent and continuous conversations. By maintaining context from previous interactions, it can better understand and respond to user requests in a more natural way.

To enable session support, use the --session FILE command line option when running the program. The talk-llama model state will be saved to the specified file after each interaction. If the file does not exist, it will be created. If the file exists, the model state will be loaded from it, allowing you to resume a previous session.

This feature is especially helpful for maintaining context in long conversations or when interacting with the AI assistant across multiple sessions. It ensures that the assistant remembers the previous interactions and can provide more relevant and contextual responses.

Example usage:

./talk-llama --session ./my-session-file -mw ./models/ggml-small.en.bin -ml ../llama.cpp/models/llama-13b/ggml-model-q4_0.gguf -p "Georgi" -t 8

TTS

For best experience, this example needs a TTS tool to convert the generated text responses to voice. You can use any TTS engine that you would like - simply edit the speak script to your needs. By default, it is configured to use MacOS's say or Windows SpeechSynthesizer, but you can use whatever you wish.
