Hi folks, I have edited the llama.cpp server frontend and made it look nicer. Also added a few functions. Something I have been missing there for a long time: Templates for Prompt Formats.

Here to the github link: ++camalL

Otherwise here is a small summary:

- UI with CSS to make it look nicer and cleaner overall.

- CSS outsourced as a separate file

- Added a dropdown menu with prompt style templates

- Added a dropdown menu with system prompts

- Prompt Styles and System Prompts are separate files, so editing is very easy.

- Created a script that uses “dialog” to compose the command for the server.

- Script offers the possibility to save and load configs

In planning or already started:

- WIP Multilingual: You will be able to select the language from a dropdown menu. So far language files only for English and German. (concerns UI elements and system prompts).

- Dark Mode

- Templates for the values of the UI options (samplers etc.), e.g. deterministic template, creative template, balanced template etc…

- Zenity start script (like dialog, but gui)

-–

As for the prompt format templates, I just picked a few by feel. The most important are the four to which almost all others can be traced back: Alpaca, ChatML, Llama2, Vicuna.

But if you want more templates for a specific model, feel free to let me know here or on github.

As you can see on the third picture, it should now be easier for beginners to use the llama.cpp server, since a tui dialog will assist them.

Hope you like my work. Feel free to give feedback

ps: I’ve made a pull request, but for now I publish it on my own forked repo.

    It definitely should have a live token counter as you type the prompt in.

    Do you plan to make this a PR against llama.cpp? It really deserves to be merged in.

      That’s a pretty good idea! thanks for your input. I will definitely make a note of it as an issue in my repo and see what I can do.

      Thank you for saying that. It makes me feel valued for my work. I’ve already made a pull request and Gerganov seems to like the work in general, so he would accept a merge. I still need to fix a few things here and there though - the requirements at the llama.cpp dudes are very high : D (but i don’t expect anything else there heheh)
