About llama explain

llama explain is a Chrome extension that explains complex text online in simple terms, by using a local-running LLM (Large Language Model). All is done locally on your machine. No data is sent to OpenAI's, or any other company's, server. No need to pay for any service. Just select the text you need help understanding, right click, and select 'llama explain' from the context menu. It's built on top of Ollama (https://ollama.ai/) and as such, currently runs only on MacOS. For full installation steps (on top of this extension, you also need to install Ollama and create models), please refer to https://github.com/welniak/llama-explain. The extension is open source, you can find the code at https://github.com/welniak/llama-explain.
