By popular demand, Loki is now Coyote!

I've just released a new version with the full rename.

Thanks to @minticecream for the suggestion!

All the docs are updated except for the screenshots and gifs. I'll update those tomorrow (since they don't do any harm right now and don't require another release to be updated).

For almost a year I've been using Loki as the name but it never really satisfied me. Not to mention it's already the name of an extremely popular logging system by Grafana, which makes Loki hard to discover.

Got some great feedback and the rename was born! Thanks again everyone who gave suggestions and for all the positive feedback!

Do you have a GitHub and would you be willing to share it with me so I could credit you with the name? No worries if not, I can just link to your Lemmy profile instead of you prefer. I just don't want to change it without giving credit.

Looking forward to it! Heads up in case you missed it: I had settled on renaming it to Coyote, so sometime this week will be a breaking change and release to get that done.

Biggest pains are just going to be updating the repo tokens for Crates.io and renaming the homebrew repo.

Works for me. I'll refactor that and rename it tomorrow and hopefully have a new minor release sometime this week. It'll be another baking change release so I'll need to attach a couple commands to the release notes to make it easy to migrate.

Looking at Llama-swap, since it says it supports OpenAI-compatible API, it should just work natively already. Just set up the client to be type: openai-compatible and fill in the URL and provide the models. Should work out of the box!

After sitting with Coyote for a while, I'm really liking the name. Before I get too attached, any other ideas? (Just to make sure I stay objective 😛)

OpenCode is specific to coding workflows. Loki is built to be a general LLM runtine/workflow engine for any problem domain, not just code. An example use I have for it is a cron job that runs at boot to

• See if the cause of the reboot was power loss (LLM)
• If it was, check all services to ensure they're up and running (tool)
• If a service isn't up, then use an LLM to see what happened (LLM)
• Try out the usual methods for getting that service started (tool + RAG)
• If none of those work, try figuring out what's ultimately wrong (LLM)
• Send me a ntfy notification on my phone to let me know what service isn't running, and the suspected cause with some context (tool)

When it comes to writing code, OpenCode is my go-to as well. It's my ultimate benchmark for how well optimized and reliable I can make local models function in Loki.

Ooh I like Coyote! That's definitely in the running now. Not to mention that's really a really cool allusion to Native American mythology!

It was just the one gif I had available and also the model that worked fast enough to fit into a gif without taking forever between prompts so I could demo Loki well. You make a good point though. It's an old build and is slightly outdated. I'll update that. Thanks for pointing that out.
