Thanks for checking out the KoboldAI Client!

[ABOUT]

This is a test release of a quickly-assembled front-end for multiple local & remote AI models.
The purpose is to provide a smoother, web-based UI experience than the various command-line AI apps.
I'm pushing this out now that the major quality-of-life fearures have been roughed in (generate,
undo, edit-by-line, memory, save/load, etc), which means there will probably be bugs.

This application uses Transformers (https://huggingface.co/transformers/) to interact with the AI models
via Tensorflow. Tensorflow has CUDA/GPU support for shorter generation times, but I do not have anything 
in this test release to set up CUDA/GPU support on your system. If you have a high-end GPU with
sufficient VRAM to run your model of choice, see (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/gpu) for
instructions on enabling GPU support.

Transformers/Tensorflow can still be used on CPU if you do not have high-end hardware, but generation
times will be much longer. Alternatively, KoboldAI also supports InferKit (https://inferkit.com/).
This will allow you to send requests to a remotely hosted Megatron-11b model for fast generation times
on any hardware. This is a paid service, but signing up for a free account will let you generate up
to 40,000 characters, and the free account will work with KoboldAI.

[SETUP]

1. Install Python. (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
	(Development was done on 3.7, I have not tested newer versions)
2. When installing Python make sure "pip" is selected under Optional features.
	(If pip isn't working, run the installer again and choose Modify to choose Optional fearures.)
3. Run install_requirements.bat.
	(This will install the necessary python packages via pip)
4. Run play.bat
5. Select a model from the list. Flask will start and give you a message that it's ready to connect.
6. Open a web browser and enter http://127.0.0.1:5000/

[FOR INFERKIT INTEGRATION]

If you would like to use InferKit's Megatron-11b model, sign up for a free account on their website.
https://inferkit.com/
After verifying your email address, sign in and click on your profile picture in the top right.
In the drop down menu, click "API Key".
On the API Key page, click "Reveal API Key" and copy it. When starting KoboldAI and selecting the
InferKit API model, you will be asked to paste your API key into the terminal. After entering,
the API key will be stored in the client.settings file for future use.
You can see your remaining budget for generated characters on their website under "Billing & Usage".
