I Tested PewDiePie's FREE ChatGPT - Odysseus AI (Setup + Guide) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00PewDiePie just dropped his free open
2. 0:02source AI workspace for your computer
3. 0:04and it looks and it feels like Claude or
4. 0:07even ChatGPT. We'll pair it with Ollama
5. 0:10that runs the AI model on your hardware.
6. 0:12Odysseus runs everything that you see
7. 0:15[music] and touch. Your chats, your
8. 0:16research, your documents, your notes.
9. 0:18You can load almost any open model out
10. 0:21there. For anyone using the basics of
11. 0:23ChatGPT or Claude, you can now do that
12. 0:26for free. And the best part about all of
13. 0:28this is that you are not renting it.
14. 0:30There's no subscription involved. You
15. 0:32are not signing into anybody's cloud and
16. 0:35the things that you actually type in, it
17. 0:37stays on your machine. And in today's
18. 0:40video, we'll set up Odysseus AI. We are
19. 0:42going to test its features and we are
20. 0:43going to see if it's actually worth
21. 0:45time. And super quick, if you get stuck
22. 0:47anywhere, then our free to join school
23. 0:49community has every command and
24. 0:51troubleshooting steps right there
25. 0:53waiting for you. The link is down in the
26. 0:55description below. Go and check it out.
27. 0:57And now,
28. 0:58let's check out Odysseus. Now, the first
29. 1:01thing that we need to do is we need to
30. 1:02open up our terminal and I know that
31. 1:04word makes some people so nervous. So,
32. 1:07let me just kill that right now.
33. 1:08Terminal is just a text box where you
34. 1:11type in instructions to your Mac or your
35. 1:13PC and that's basically it. You are
36. 1:16talking to your computer in a slightly
37. 1:19different way, okay? So, the first thing
38. 1:22that we need to do is we need to install
39. 1:23Homebrew. And if you've never heard of
40. 1:26it, just think of it as the App Store
41. 1:29but for command line tools. It makes
42. 1:32installing everything else is so much
43. 1:34more simple. Now, head over to brew.sh
44. 1:37and then grab the install command. And
45. 1:39then you're going to paste it into
46. 1:40terminal and then you're going to hit
47. 1:41return and it'll take just like a couple
48. 1:43of minutes and then it's going to ask
49. 1:45for your password along the way. And
50. 1:47now, once Homebrew is done, all you have
51. 1:49to do is just run the command on the
52. 1:51screen and then it installs Git, Python,
53. 1:53and Tmux all in just one shot. Now, just
54. 1:55a quick note, I'm not going to be saying
55. 1:57all of the commands out loud in the
56. 1:59video because you actually don't need to
57. 2:01type all of this in from scratch. All of
58. 2:03the commands are down in the Free School
59. 2:05community. All you have to do is just go
60. 2:06over there, copy and paste them, and
61. 2:08then you can just follow along with the
62. 2:10video, okay? Remember, link is down in
63. 2:12the description. Now, quick breakdown so
64. 2:14that you know what you've installed. Git
65. 2:17is what we'll use to download Odysseus.
66. 2:20Python is what Odysseus actually runs
67. 2:23on, and then tmux is basically a small
68. 2:26helper that Odysseus uses for some of
69. 2:29the background tasks. Now, when it
70. 2:31finishes, you are good, okay? Just keep
71. 2:33going, and now we're going to download
72. 2:35Odysseus itself, and the way we do that
73. 2:38is called cloning, which I know sounds
74. 2:41pretty technical, but it just means that
75. 2:42we are copying the entire project from
76. 2:44the internet onto your computer. Then
77. 2:47you're going to run the two lines that's
78. 2:48on screen, and the first one copies the
79. 2:50whole project onto your machine, and the
80. 2:52second moves you into that new folder.
81. 2:54And that part is extremely important
82. 2:56because every command after this runs
83. 2:59from inside it. Now, just take a second
84. 3:01to let that sink in. PewDiePie's code,
85. 3:03the interface, all of it, is now sitting
86. 3:06on your machine, and it was that easy to
87. 3:08set everything up. Okay, so now I want
88. 3:11you to stop because before you launch
89. 3:14anything, there's one thing that you
90. 3:16have to do first. And almost every
91. 3:18tutorial about this has skipped it so
92. 3:20far, which I mean, to me, is exactly why
93. 3:22people end up in the comments just
94. 3:25swearing the app is broken, and some
95. 3:27people even saying that it just hangs
96. 3:28forever and it never loads. Okay, so
97. 3:31here's what's actually happening. The
98. 3:33very first time Odysseus starts, it
99. 3:35needs to download something called an
100. 3:37embedding model. It's a small file that
101. 3:40helps the AI understand and search text.
102. 3:43Now, if your internet hiccups even
103. 3:45slightly during the first launch, the
104. 3:47download isn't going to stall, [music]
105. 3:48and then the whole app just freezes
106. 3:51mid-startup. Then your browser shows
107. 3:53nothing and you just think that you
108. 3:55broke something. When really it's just
109. 3:56waiting on one file. Now the fix is
110. 3:58simple. All we have to do is download
111. 4:00the file ourselves before we launch the
112. 4:02app. The commands are on screen right
113. 4:04now. So just run the first three to set
114. 4:06up the environment and then the last one
115. 4:08to grab and cache the model. And that
116. 4:11last one's basically a mouthful. So do
117. 4:14yourself a favor, just go over to the
118. 4:15free school community and then go and
119. 4:17copy it over there and then you just
120. 4:19paste it in, okay? It's going to save
121. 4:20you a bunch of time when it comes to
122. 4:21typing. Now you'll see a progress bar
123. 4:23and then it prints cached, okay? And if
124. 4:26your connection drops partly through,
125. 4:29then it's pretty much a no big deal.
126. 4:31Just press the up arrow and then hit
127. 4:33return and then it picks up right where
128. 4:35it left off. Now that one step just
129. 4:38saved you a ton of frustration. So just
130. 4:40going to say it right now, you're
131. 4:41welcome. Now let's launch it, okay? So
132. 4:45you're going to run the start script
133. 4:46that's on screen right now and then
134. 4:48you'll see the terminal start moving.
135. 4:50Now the lines of text scrolling by,
136. 4:52there's checks passing, the database is
137. 4:54setting up. Then it will stop and it
138. 4:55will ask you to create your admin
139. 4:57account. It asks for username. So just
140. 5:00type one or hit return to keep the
141. 5:03default. And then it's going to ask for
142. 5:05a password and then, okay, now another
143. 5:08one, a heads up.
144. 5:10When you type the password, nothing
145. 5:12shows on screen. There's no dots, no
146. 5:14stars and that is pretty normal. That's
147. 5:16how terminal hides it. Just type it in
148. 5:19and then hit return and then write that
149. 5:22username and that password down to make
150. 5:24sure that you always have it because you
151. 5:26are going to need it every time you open
152. 5:28the workspace. Now it prints setup
153. 5:30complete and then it starts the server.
154. 5:32Now because we cached that model in step
155. 5:34three, it boots in a few seconds and
156. 5:36then it opens your browser automatically
157. 5:38to localhost colon [music] 7860.
158. 5:42Then you're going to log in with the
159. 5:44account that you just made and this
160. 5:47this is now the moment, okay?
161. 5:49This is your AI workspace. It's a
162. 5:51running on your PC and it's not a server
163. 5:55in another country, it's not a
164. 5:56subscription, it's now yours. And I
165. 5:59mean, if you just look at that for a
166. 6:00second, you can see the navigation down
167. 6:02the left, the chat window in the middle,
168. 6:04and the model picker sitting at the
169. 6:06bottom right. That's empty right now,
170. 6:08but we are about to fix that. So, right
171. 6:11now the workspace is up, but there's
172. 6:13nothing behind it yet. There's no model
173. 6:16to actually [music] answer you. Now,
174. 6:18that's what Ollama is for. Go to
175. 6:21ollama.com and then download the
176. 6:24installer and then you're going to run
177. 6:25it. It takes about a minute to finish
178. 6:27and then when it's done, you'll spot a
179. 6:29small icon up in your menu bar at the
180. 6:32top of the screen. And when the Ollama
181. 6:35is there, then Ollama is up and now it's
182. 6:38ready to load models. Now, we pull our
183. 6:41first model, the small M-135,
184. 6:46and I want you to start with the
185. 6:48smallest ones out there.
186. 6:50Now, this is just to prove that the
187. 6:52whole system works before we upgrade.
188. 6:55And then we are going to run the command
189. 6:57on screen. Now, that's a tiny model.
190. 6:59It's about 19 MB, so it's going to
191. 7:01download pretty fast. And [music] when
192. 7:03it finishes, you've got something for
193. 7:04the workspace to talk to. Now, we
194. 7:07introduce the two programs to each
195. 7:09other. Ollama's running, Odysseus is
196. 7:11running, but they don't know about each
197. 7:14other yet. And here's how you connect
198. 7:16them. It's not buried in some settings
199. 7:18menu, so that's at least one thing you
200. 7:20don't have to worry about. It happens
201. 7:22right in the chat. All you do is you
202. 7:24click the chat box and then you type the
203. 7:26setup command on screen and then
204. 7:28Odysseus shows you your options. Now,
205. 7:30for a local model like ours, it tells
206. 7:33you to paste your endpoint address
207. 7:35straight into the chat. So, that's what
208. 7:38we do. We drop in the address on screen
209. 7:40and we're going to drop that into the
210. 7:41chat and then we are going to hit enter,
211. 7:44and that address just points to Ollama
212. 7:46running on your computer. It looks like
213. 7:49a web link, but it actually never leaves
214. 7:51your machine. Now, here's the mistake
215. 7:54that gets almost everyone the first
216. 7:56time. If you paste that before you've
217. 7:59pulled the model, Odysseus comes back
218. 8:01with no Ollama models found, and people
219. 8:05basically just panic after seeing that.
220. 8:06They think something broke, but the fix
221. 8:09is exactly what we already did in the
222. 8:11last step. You have to pull a model
223. 8:13first. Now, on our side, we did that, so
224. 8:16we are fine. Just paste that address in,
225. 8:18and this time it comes back with found
226. 8:21one model, and then it drops your state
227. 8:23into a fresh chat with it selected. Now,
228. 8:26if you ever need to switch to it
229. 8:27manually, then that select model
230. 8:28drop-down at the bottom right is where
231. 8:30every model that you've pulled shows up.
232. 8:33Now, just type your first message, and
233. 8:35then watch. And that reply, it didn't
234. 8:38travel anywhere. There's no API call,
235. 8:40there's no round trip to OpenAI or
236. 8:43Anthropic. Your machine generated every
237. 8:45word of it. Great idea, and it's
238. 8:47offline. Now, that tiny model, small
239. 8:50135, was just to prove that the pipe
240. 8:52works. It's honestly too small to be
241. 8:55useful day-to-day, so let's grab
242. 8:57something with some material range to
243. 8:59it. So, I personally go with Qwen 2.5 7B
244. 9:02if your PC's got the memory for it. It's
245. 9:06sharp, and it's released under the
246. 9:08Apache 2.0 license, which means it's
247. 9:11genuinely free to use for anything,
248. 9:14including your work. Now, on a lighter
249. 9:16machine, drop down to Qwen 2.5 1.5B. It
250. 9:21has the same license, a smaller
251. 9:22footprint, and still a big step up from
252. 9:25where we started. And then basically
253. 9:26just pull whichever one fits. The
254. 9:28commands are on screen right now. And I
255. 9:30mean, now, let me just answer the
256. 9:31question that I know you must be asking.
257. 9:34Is this actually free? Well, the answer
258. 9:36to that is yes. Not a tile, not a fee
259. 9:39for now before we drop a price on it.
260. 9:41This is free. They are open weight
261. 9:44models with open licenses, so you
262. 9:46download them once and then you run them
263. 9:48as much as you want. There's no per
264. 9:50message cost, no monthly bill. The only
265. 9:52actual real cost is that bit of extra
266. 9:54power that your machine draws while it's
267. 9:56thinking. Now, once it finishes
268. 9:58downloading, just go back to Odysseus
269. 10:00and then open that select model drop
270. 10:02down at the bottom and then just pick
271. 10:03the model that you just pulled. And
272. 10:05that's a no re-setup, no
273. 10:07re-configuration, just pick it and then
274. 10:09just go.
275. 10:11Now, let me show you what you just
276. 10:13built. Because once you see it all
277. 10:15together, you realize how wild it is
278. 10:18that this thing basically costs no money
279. 10:21whatsoever. Now, first, the chat. It
280. 10:24works like you'd expect. You type and
281. 10:26then it responds, you have a
282. 10:27conversation, except this one is
283. 10:29private. Then you just run it with your
284. 10:31Wi-Fi off and it still answers. Nobody
285. 10:34else is reading it, no one is training
286. 10:36on it, no one is keeping a copy on their
287. 10:38servers. The only place it's saved is on
288. 10:41your machine. And then there's deep
289. 10:43research. You simply just give it a
290. 10:44topic and this is the one feature that
291. 10:46does reach out to the web. It pulls in
292. 10:48sources, it reads them and it writes you
293. 10:50up a report with citations. Now, simply
294. 10:52just type on something that you actually
295. 10:54care about and then watch it work
296. 10:56through the whole thing and hand you
297. 10:57something that you'd have spent an
298. 11:00entire afternoon on yourself. Then
299. 11:03there's also documents. You open a doc
300. 11:05right inside Odysseus and the AI helps
301. 11:08you as you write. It's basically like
302. 11:10having a writing partner sitting right
303. 11:12beside you, except you are the one
304. 11:15that's driving everything. And then
305. 11:17there's memory. Now, this is the one
306. 11:18that pays off over time because it holds
307. 11:21onto context. It stops feeling generic.
308. 11:25So, just tell it about a project once
309. 11:27and it will still know that exact
310. 11:29project next week. The more you work in
311. 11:31it, the more it fits the way you
312. 11:34actually think and operate. And here's
313. 11:36the thing, apart from deep research and
314. 11:38reaching out for sources, all of that
315. 11:40ran right on your machine for free
316. 11:43without handing your work to anyone.
317. 11:47Now, that's what you built today. And
318. 11:49then there's tasks. This is where it
319. 11:51starts doing things without you. You can
320. 11:52set up scheduled prompts, research
321. 11:54answers, or actions, and it just does
322. 11:57them on its own. Have it run a research
323. 12:00report on a topic every week. You set a
324. 12:02trigger, a schedule, an event, a
325. 12:04webhook, and then you just pick what it
326. 12:06should do, and then it just runs in the
327. 12:08background. It's kind of like giving
328. 12:09your AI a to-do list, and then having it
329. 12:12actually will follow through. Okay, so
330. 12:14let me knock out the three issues that
331. 12:16most people hit, and this is going to
332. 12:17help your build go more smooth.
333. 12:20If the app won't load or it just hangs,
334. 12:23it's usually that embedding model from
335. 12:25step three that's getting interrupted.
336. 12:27So, just rerun that cache command, and
337. 12:30then run the start script again, and
338. 12:32then you're done. Now, if you see the
339. 12:34command not found when you try an Ollama
340. 12:37command, then it almost always just
341. 12:39means that Ollama isn't installed or
342. 12:42isn't running. So, then something just
343. 12:44check for Ollama in your menu bar. Now,
344. 12:46no Ollama, no model, just open Ollama
345. 12:48first. And if you get a port already in
346. 12:53use error, then something else is
347. 12:55sitting on the port Ollama wants. So,
348. 12:58the command that's appearing on screen
349. 12:59right now, that clears it. And then
350. 13:01simply just start it again. Now, I've
351. 13:03dropped all of this down in the free
352. 13:05school community. Go and check it out,
353. 13:07and everything that we covered in
354. 13:09today's video, all of it is down there,
355. 13:11okay? So, the link is down in the
356. 13:13description below. Now, simply just take
357. 13:16a step back, and then look at what
358. 13:17you've got. The model, the interface,
359. 13:20and your chat history. All of it lives
360. 13:23on just one [music] machine. It's yours.
361. 13:26There's no bill showing up every month.
362. 13:28There's no company sitting in the middle
363. 13:30and nobody setting the rules about what
364. 13:33you can ask the thing that you are
365. 13:34running locally. And this is just the
366. 13:37starting line. From here, you can pull
367. 13:39bigger models as you get comfortable.
368. 13:41You can set it up to run tasks for you
369. 13:45automatically. You can wire it into your
370. 13:47own tools and files and even your
371. 13:49workflows. And if you want the full
372. 13:52command list from today plus the
373. 13:54troubleshooting guide and you want a
374. 13:56place to ask some important questions,
375. 13:59then the free school community is where
376. 14:00you are going to want to be. The link is
377. 14:03down in the description below. Go and
378. 14:04check it out. There's a bunch of people
379. 14:06that is currently there all learning
380. 14:08from each other and you could join them.
381. 14:10Okay. So now, if you made it till the
382. 14:12end of this video, I'm pretty sure that
383. 14:13you had a lot of fun. So, give this
384. 14:15video a like, subscribe to the channel,
385. 14:17and comment down below. What do you
386. 14:19think the future holds for Odysseus? Do
387. 14:21you think it's going to change
