An assortment of ill-advised experiments in running LLMs on Windows 98, using Rust embedded in Visual Basic 6. This is possible thanks to the amazing rust9x project.
This repository includes:
calc- a proof of concept of embedding a Rust library in a Visual Basic 6 application.chat-openai- a chat app that responds using the OpenAI API. This uses ureq and rustls for a modern HTTP stack.candle98- a COM server that implements an LLM using candle. This is used bychat-candleandclippy.chat-candle- a chat app that responds usingcandle98(i.e. an LLM running on the local machine).clippy- a Clippy-style assistant that completes documents usingcandle98.
