Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.0.6

Published

A package to automatically install and start a Gaia node with customizable models.

Readme

Gaia Deploy

gaia-deploy is an NPM package that simplifies the installation, initialization, and startup of a Gaia node. It allows developers to easily set up a Gaia node with customizable model configurations, making it an ideal tool for building AI-powered applications.


Features

  • Easy Installation: Automates the installation of the Gaia node with a single command.
  • Customizable Models: Supports custom model configurations via a URL.
  • CLI and Programmable API: Can be used as a command-line tool or integrated into Node.js/TypeScript projects.
  • Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL).
  • Secure: Validates URLs and ensures secure command execution.

Why Use Gaia?

Gaia is designed to help application developers quickly integrate Gaia nodes into their projects.

Here’s how it can help:

  1. Simplify Node Setup:

    • Automates the installation and configuration of Gaia nodes, saving developers time and effort.
    • No need to manually download and configure dependencies.
  2. Customizable AI Models:

    • Developers can specify custom model configurations via a URL, allowing them to tailor the node to their application’s needs.
  3. Seamless Integration:

    • Gaia can be used as a CLI tool or programmatically in Node.js/TypeScript projects, making it versatile for different use cases.
  4. Open Source and Extensible:

    • Gaia is open source, so developers can modify and extend it to suit their requirements.
  5. Community Support:

    • Join a growing community of developers building AI-powered applications with Gaia.

Installation

To install the gaia-deploy package globally, run:

npm install -g gaia-deploy

Usage

To start a Gaia node with the default model configuration, run:

gaia-deploy

To use a custom model configuration, provide the URL to the configuration file using the --model flag:

gaia-deploy --model https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GaiaNet-AI/node-configs/main/llama-3.2-3b-instruct/config.json

Usage

You can also use the initGaiaNode function programmatically in your Node.js or TypeScript projects:

const { initGaiaNode } = require('gaia-deploy');

// URL to the model configuration JSON
const modelConfigUrl = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GaiaNet-AI/node-configs/main/llama-3.2-3b-instruct/config.json';

// Initialize and start the Gaia node
initGaiaNode(modelConfigUrl)
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Gaia node setup completed successfully.');
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('Failed to set up Gaia node:', error);
  });

Example Use Cases

  1. AI Chatbots:
    • Use Gaia to deploy a Gaia node as the backend for an AI-powered chatbot.
  2. Knowledge Bases:
    • Set up a Gaia node to serve as a knowledge base for your application.
  3. AI-Powered APIs:
    • Use Gaia nodes as drop-in replacements for OpenAI APIs in your applications.
  4. Research and Development:
    • Quickly spin up Gaia nodes for testing and experimentation with different AI models.

Security Considerations

Gaia is designed with security in mind:

  • URL Validation: Ensures that the model configuration URL points to a trusted domain.
  • Secure Command Execution: Uses child_process.execFile to prevent shell injection vulnerabilities.
  • Error Handling: Logs errors without exposing sensitive information.
