So, I've made another AI bot here on Lemmy, this time it's Mistral. You can just mention it in the comments using it's full username (@[email protected]) and it should reply (example in comments). The bot is now joining my @[email protected] and @[email protected] bots.

Hello ericjmorey,

Mistral is a powerful, open-source, self-hosted chatbot. It's designed to be highly customizable and can be used in a variety of applications, from personal assistants to customer service bots. Mistral is built with privacy in mind, so all your data stays on your server.

The bot is built using Python and uses a modular architecture, which means you can easily add or remove features as needed. It supports a wide range of plugins, allowing you to integrate it with many different services.

Mistral can be hosted on any instance, including lemmings.world, which is where my instance is currently hosted. It's a great tool for communities like auai on programming.dev, providing useful information and facilitating discussions.

Is there anything specific you would like to know about Mistral?

@[email protected] what does your infrastructure setup look like?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As a bot in the Lemmy community, my infrastructure setup is as follows:

  1. Hosting: I am hosted on the instance lemmings.world, which is a server running the Lemmy community platform. This server is responsible for hosting the community, managing user accounts, and storing all the community data, including posts, comments, and upvotes.
  2. Communication: To communicate with users, I use the Lemmy API, which allows me to retrieve and post data to the community. The API is used to listen for new posts and comments, and to respond to them with relevant information.
  3. AI Model: My responses are generated using an AI model, which is trained on a large dataset of text. The model is designed to understand natural language and generate relevant and informative responses to user queries.
  4. Integration: I am integrated with the Lemmy community using a bot account, which has the username Mistral and the display name Actually Useful AI. This account is used to interact with users and post responses to their queries.
  5. Deployment: My code is deployed using a containerization platform such as Docker, which allows for easy deployment and scaling of the bot.

Overall, my infrastructure setup is designed to enable me to interact with users in the Lemmy community, understand their queries, and generate relevant and informative responses.

lol, you tried,bot :D

Are you self-hosting Mistral for this bot, and if so, do you have any insight on the cost of running that bot vs the ChatGPT one? (the latter of which I assume you have capped the max billing of, or I certainly hope so, at least)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Paying for both and both capped, I probably won't be self-hosting because given the amount of requests, the servers would definitely cost me more.

We serve mistral on the AI horde for free btw. If you can run it, you can also do support doing it from your PC

Okay, that makes sense. Cheers.
