Stuck on initializing

Open shawnyeager opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Running the latest release downloaded today on macOS 14.2 on an 2022 M2 MacBook Air, chatd sticks here indefinitely. I've force-quit and launched numerous times. CleanShot 2023-12-12 at 15 30 29@2x

Thanks for the report. Looking into it.

I'm in the process of adding more logging here to identify runtime issues like this.

In the meantime I have reproduced a similar issue to this, where the app stays in "initalizing" for some time (a couple minutes). I'm looking into why this happened, but it might be worth trying to leave the app open for a couple minutes to see if the problem resolves itself.

Thanks, Bruce. I did let it run for about 10 mins, then it worked. Note this is on a gigabit connection and an M2 Mac with 16 GB, so performance seems to struggle.

More importantly, test driving did not produce good results. I gave it a few .txt meeting transcripts and asked for simple things like summaries and key takeaways, but it produced virtually nothing. Happy to help test further.

I had a similar experience. I had ollama running, but instead of asking me to use an existing model, it "initialized" by downloading mistral:latest. I wish it would show you that it's "Downloading...", instead (and possibly a progress indication as well).

As for the results, I basically got half excerpts, half summaries about things I asked. CTRL+F-ing keywords in the document would probably yield the same results.

Looking forward to future developments of Chatd :)
