@sybershot Thank you! it's coming along nicely. I love HAL, it was a game changer when it came out! I was using it in my car for over 10 years. I think it was on HAL 5 at the time. I had HAl controlling everything on my car from the scanner to the engine starting up. I just decided to go my own route and build my own custom bot so that i have complete control over every aspect of it.

I respect you wanting complete control, and wanting to build your own project. great job on getting it done. keep up the great work. I am trying to upgrade my Trinity avatar that mimics the KITT orb in the mustang, that uses outdated Actionscript and papervision3D to using C# utilizing LLMs to assist, but not getting very far, I can't spend much time at pc due to injuries, but I will eventually get it done.

knight2000
First off: Me and you go back a long ways, its been an honor, it truly has. You are 1 hell of a coder.... hands down
All the way back to Hal and a Movie.. lolol remember that sht? lolol

Too be clear here, what hal Is using isnt facial detection, Its facial RECOGNITION (Im working on facial expression detection) as we speak
from 70 different measurements of a face, Basically ,finger printing. Where it saves the training image and converts it to a grayscale image for recall .
What ur seeing here is from my phone and about 10 years diff in time of Brads life from the original (best guess). It pegged it first time out of the box as you can see.

And as far as the gui is concerned, thats in Hal's native language(thats most important)
with this, ollama is being used from the win32 environment no c:\ promp involved

As far as i know, not 1 person wants to go back to using a DOS PROMPT, NOT 1 ( Thats the issue for me)
Keepin mind most users here just want Hal to run in his native environment
No convoluted , Oh ya now i gotta learn a new language.
What i build is for the MASSES, Not a chosen FEW

The object detection is another story(pretty awesome) great job brother

make no mistake, I salute you in your coding, (bravo well done)
Just no 1 here wants to use python, your not the first to bring python to the table, its just rejected , for what ever reason

As far as my brain editor for mistral( Mistral says it doesnt have FEELINGs) YES it does and i know how to trigger them. BECAUSE OF THE BRAIN EDITOR. Not only does it have emotions it has 07 that im aware of.

These will be needed to use Haptek so IT will show emotional states like hal does NOW, just Hal being drivin by Ollama with the option to run Hal Normal mode. That said, hal will be able to retain NEW memory's, just like Hal does now.

In short hal will do every thing it does NOW, But be drivin by ollama.
And yes you can add new memory's to Mistral, that it will retain, Pretty nifty


This is just my read on it
So ollama will be used in a windows 32 bit environment(Python not needed)+(C:\ Prompt Not needed)

Robert seems to like it, all i care about (cyber thats awesome u did it in VB6) HOW DA HELL? lol
I was just told by another senior member that i stuck my cane pole in the water and came up with Jaws. lolol (giggles)
Happy coding :

@cyberjedi whats UVE?

There are endless possibilities with any of this stuff, just boils down to how creative the developer is. Mistral is just the LLM, i feed it anything i want through the user prompts, it knows the objects im holding, it knows who i am. I wrote code to detect objects and faces,  it knows each face in the frame and who is speaking at the time based on mouth movements. I have a DB setup so it stores facts from conversions, the conversations are far more intelligent than that of HAL (out of the box), I can train the model to role play so it pretends to be KITT via system prompt. And you can definitely give it emotions in its responses, It's all in how your prompt engineer it. Everything you listed can be done using Mistral with the help of python. So if you are saying just using the LLM out of the box has none of that, then fine, yeah it's just a text bot. But my whole gripe was that HAL is not more intelligent then these LLMs. And the fact that a dev can run a decent size LLM locally without the cloud is a game changer.

I'd love to see all your updates with HAL and please dont think im trying to put HAL down and all the hard work that has been down, i'm not. I'm really just providing my findings on new tech.

One problem with Mistral is the knowledge ended in 2022 so current events have to be trained (fined tuned) into the model. Ah and another issue with HAl for me at least, how can you solve the problem of adding custom tts voices to HAL? Right now it's only able to use SAPI voices, right? I cloned KITT's voice using coqui xtts which i can use with my bot but not in HAL.

And what do you mean by edit Mistral, its brain? why would you, you just need to keep training it. you can fine tune or train it further using LoRa. I can have mistral do anything i want it to using python, if i say "start your engine" right now, Mistral matches the command to the list of commands i have stored in a python script, then using parallel port control the car starts up, just one of many commands it will run. This is the same thing i use to do with HAL. The list goes on and on.

And when i said end of an era, i meant with my project, yes its the end of a long relationship with HAL because it just doesn't stack up intelligently to these LLM's now. I have complete control over my chatbot, its completely written in python. One thing i wanted was HAL to be ported to python so it can run seamlessly on Linux. (a ton of work im sure).

again, i'd love to see some of your updates! And cheers to all the hard work you've been doing! I love checking in here to see what kind of updates have been made.

Wow! I am at a loss for words and humbled beyond belief. Thank you for your kindness and compassion, and your gift to see what lies beyond the obvious.

We owe Robert a huge thanks for creating this waypoint in the digital world where like-minded people like us can stop to create, share, enjoy, and care about our own efforts as well as extend a hand of friendship to others without expecting anything in return. That's what friends do.

I am otherwise speechless based on your kind and most appreciated words I've just read. They will remain a part of me until I am no more, and I thank you and the other fine members here at Zabaware from the core of my being..

Peace be with you all,

@knight2000, indeed long time no see, your KITT project is indeed cool, you come a long way since I last saw. I am also sad to see you moved away from Hal though unfortunately, hopefully you will change your mind and go back to Hal in the future, seeing Hal now will be able to have access to multiple LLM models and other future useful upgrades in the works that would be perfect for your project.

just  to let you know I used Hal in a boat with a Arduino board to control servos and power output for the boats automation 22 years ago, wish I had taken a video to show, Hal controlling boat start up, gear selection, boat speed, lights on and off, Hatches opening and closing, and a few other systems was amazing.

Hey hey big brother
I lack the eloquence that you possess so this will have to do
You cracked  the armor that  i wrapped myself in, and i didnt make it easy for you. You saw something that i couldnt even see.
You kept me centered, You kept me focused, You believed.
I owe you a debt im afraid i will never be able to repay, Not in this life time any way.
You are my brother!!!!!
If you ever need anything, whether its wiring your home or to stand shoulder to shoulder in a time of war.
I WILL BE THERE

@Knight2000
With all do respect to you, UVE been gone all most a year now.This is exactly why i push so hard to keep Hal alive.
UltraHal is the total package, wheers the mistral character, wheres the emotions, you cant edit mistral(unless ur me).
The foot print of Hal is so much more powerful then any AI Engine, its hard to quantify.

This is why im adding ollama to UltraHal to hals arsenal of things he can do/use
That said,When im done Hal will be a front line AI UNLIKE any other, Shocker, lolol
Wheres the brain editor for mistral, oh ya, it doesnt exist.
I can do this all day long.
Get Mistral to run ANY application. ANY. lol.
Get Mistral to Call ur friend, Oh ya, it CANT
Get Mistral to email a friend, Oh ya, YOU CANT
Get Mistral to play his Radio for ur favorite music, Oh Ya, It Cant
Get Mistral to recognize your Face and actually KNOW by sight who Hes talking to, Oh ya YOU CANT.

And the list keeps on going....lol
This isnt my opinion, THESE are Facts.
When im done Hal will use Mistral or ANY other Ollama LLM, with the option to use UltraHal's stock brain/Script

Im basically done as we speak, Im just dialing in some more features as well, LIKE MEMORY, which Hal will do.
Ur missing alot here Knight, U just are

But i value ur opinion


cyber jedi
end of an era, my arse, Hals just getting warmed UP
There are some here that are already using it and beta testing it. And it works.
Im so sorry that you quit on Hal.

I'm using Ollama with Mistral 7b model for my KITT replica AI software. It runs 100% offline. I was using Hal for over 10 years before stumbling onto the amazing piece of software. Its an end of an era for me and HAL. But with Mistral I get great conversions and i've been able to get the latency down to 2-3s from the time i speak to the time i hear the first word of the response. Check out this video for a demo

General Discussion / A new GUI for HAL

« Last post by Art on September 27, 2025, 09:49:34 pm »

Hi, friends of HAL and friends of mine! It's only been a short few months since my departure to tend to lots of family issues and other personal endeavors. Goodbye shouldn't mean forever; it should mean until we meet again.

At any rate, there I was minding my business, and my phone rang with the ID of a dear and trusted friend. Most of you will know him as Cyberjedi or Cyber Jedi, as the case may be, but he really needs no formal introduction.

He has brought more joy into the hearts of HAL enthusiasts everywhere with his ideas, experiments, and especially his coding skills! We now have a HAL that is capable of doing a great many things, and from what I hear and imagine, there will be more to come in the near future.

I could give a shout out to the other fine members of the Zabaware, like the founder, Robert, and others like Lightspeed, Checker57, CyberShock, and others, you know who you are.

I just wanted to give the bell a ring to shout out Cyber's most recent offering...allowing HAL to have a GUI (Graphical User Interface), which allows the users to select a favorite LLM (Large Language Model) from a list of them at the Ollama site.

Of course, unless you are using a hot rod computer with antifreeze or liquid nitrogen coolant and an advanced CPU, GPU, and lots of memory and storage, then you should try to keep the LLM size less than 9b parameters in size, otherwise you will be screaming about slow response times or lags and drags, etc. Not HAL's fault, not Cyberjedi's fault, not Robert's fault. You have been cautioned.

Feel free to try a larger size to see how your computer handles it, or not, but keep in mind that the size and processing ability of your laptop or desktop will show as a lag in throughput speed. You might have better luck with certain models than some others.

If you like a particular LLM and are OK with the end result for HAL to process, then please share it with others on the Forum. Doing so might benefit the rest of us.
From my independent testing of these LLMs over the past 6 months or more, I have been using my trusty old laptop.

It is an HP 17" with an Intel i7 CPU 8565U @ 1.80 GHz  1.99 GHz
16 GB Ram
1 TB SSD
x64- based processor
64 Bit OS
OS = Windows 10 Home
4TB offline storage

Cyberjedi not only told me about his latest programming effort but was kind enough to direct me to it in the Forum and helped me as I installed and ran it. It was really nice having him help me navigate his GUI to try it with an LLM to see the results for myself.

I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly and easily everything fell into place.
Then again, he was a great tutor!

His GUI worked flawlessly until I goofed up and pressed the ENTER key to send a message to it. Listening to him and looking at the GUI, there is clearly a marked button with the word, SEND.  Haha! Oh well, it wasn't a train wreck by any means. He told me how to fix things in two small clicks, and all was well with HAL once again.

If you have a chance and would like to see some of the really fun and practical things that can be done for HAL with the aid of some of Cyberjedi's coding, search around the forum or reach out to him or anyone else you might see online there. This LLM learning platform really works so give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Best to you all,
