LocalAI v2.12.3 — Release Notes & Engineering Impact

I'm happy to announce the v2.12.3 LocalAI release is out! ## 🌠 Landing page and Swagger Ever wondered what to do after LocalAI is up and running? Integration with a simple web interface has been started, and you can see now a landing page when hitting the LocalAI front page:  You can also now enjoy Swagger to try out the API calls directly:  ## 🌈 AIO images changes Now the default model for CPU images is https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Hermes-2-Pro-Mistral-7B-GGUF - pre-configured for functions and tools API support! If you are an Intel-GPU owner, the Intel profile for AIO images is now available too! ## :rocket: OpenVINO and transformers enhancements Now there is support for OpenVINO and transformers got token streaming support now thanks to @fakezeta! To try OpenVINO, you can use the example available in the documentation: https://localai.io/features/text-generation/#examples ## 🎈 Lot of small improvements behind the scenes! Thanks for our outstanding community, we have enhanced several areas: - The build time of LocalAI was speed up significantly! thanks to @cryptk for the efforts in enhancing the build system - @thiner worked hardly to get Vision support for AutoGPTQ - ... and much more! see down below for a full list, be sure to star LocalAI and give it a try! # 📣 Spread the word! First off, a massive thank you (again!) to each and every one of you who've chipped in to squash bugs and suggest cool new features for LocalAI. Your help, kind words, and brilliant ideas are truly appreciated - more than words can say! And to those of you who've been heros, giving up your own time to help out fellow users on Discord and in our repo, you're absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better community. Just so you know, LocalAI doesn't have the luxury of big corporate sponsors behind it. It's all us, folks. So, if you've found value in what we're building together and want to keep the momentum going, consider showing your support. A little shoutout on your favorite social platforms using @LocalAI_OSS and @mudler_it or joining our sponsors can make a big difference. Also, if you haven't yet joined our Discord, come on over!
