 LocalAI is a community-driven project, focused on making the AI accessible to anyone. Any contribution, feedback and PR is welcome! It was initially created by [mudler](https://github.com/mudler/) at the [SpectroCloud OSS Office](https://github.com/spectrocloud).

 ## Requirements
 
-For this in order to work, you will need LocalAI and a model compatible with the `llama.cpp` backend. This is will not work with gpt4all, however you can mix models (use a llama.cpp one to build the index database, and gpt4all to query it).
-
-The example uses `WizardLM` for both embeddings and Q&A. Edit the config files in `models/` accordingly to specify the model you use (change `HERE` in the configuration files).
-
-You will also need a training data set. Copy that over `data`.
