Sessions & Commandline Parameters
Details of session handling & commandline arguments are in flux.
By default, a new session is created. It is saved to the user's state directory
(e.g., ~/.local/state/chap
on linux/unix systems).
You can specify the session filename for a new session with -n
or to re-open
an existing session with -s
. Or, you can continue the last session with
--last
.
You can set the "system message" with the -S
flag.
You can select the text generating backend with the -b
flag:
- openai_chatgpt: the default, paid API, best quality results
- textgen: Works with https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui and can run locally with various models, basic and low quality. Needs the server URL in $configuration_directory/textgen_url.
- lorem: local non-AI lorem generator for testing
