Yes, I have a side project that uses local whisper.cpp to transcribe a podcast I love and shows a nice UI to search and filter the contents. I use Mixtral 8x7b in chat interface via llamafile primarily to help me write python and sqlite code and as a general Q&A agent. I ask it all sorts of technical questions, learn about common tools, libraries, and idioms in an ecosystem I'm not familiar with, and then I can go to official documentation and dig in.

It has been a huge force multiplier for me and most importantly of all, it removes the dread of not knowing where to start and the dread of sending your inner monologue to someone's stupid cloud.

If you're curious: https://github.com/noman-land/transcript.fish/ though this doesn't include any Mixtral stuff because I don't use it programmatically (yet). I soon hope to use it to answer questions about the episodes like who the special guest is and whatnot, which is something I do manually right now.
