It advertises that it runs locally and that it is "extensible" but then requires you to set up a remote/external provider as the first step of installation? That's a rather weird use of "local" and "extensible". Do words mean anything anymore?

[raincole]

You went as far as checking how it works (thus "requires you to set up a remote/external provider as the first step").

But you didn't bother checking the very next section on side bar, Supported LLM Providers, where ollama is listed.

The attention span issue today is amusing.

> The attention span issue today is amusing.

I find it rather depressing. I know it's a more complex thing, but it really feels irl like people have no time for anything past a few seconds before moving onto the next thing. Shows in the results of their work too often as well. Some programming requires very long attention span and if you don't have any, it's not going to be good.

But this is an elevator pitch. I didn't come here to be marketed to, yet I am being marketed to.

So if you're going to market something to me at least do it right. My attention span is low because I don't really give a shit about this.

But people really have no time. There is only one brain and thousands of AI startups pitching something every day.

[anonzzzies]

Yeah, don't need to try any until everyone says 'you have to'. Which happened with Aider and later Cline & Cursor.

Can’t you just run ollama and provide it a localhost endpoint? I dont think its within scope to reproduce the whole local LLM stack when anyone wanting to do this today can easily use existing better tools to solve that part of it.

[demarq]

Did you not see Ollama?

[hiyer]

You can use it with ollama too

[kylecazar]

Yeah, they seem to be referring to the Goose agent/CLI that are local. Not models themselves.

[anonzzzies]

You can run ollama, so no, not only Goose itself.

[kylecazar]

Fair, but the repeated references to local/on-machine on the project's homepage which OP criticized is, I would think, in reference to the Goose agent.
