Prototype askLLM

Choose an LLM you can actually use. 選一個你真的用得起的 LLM。

askLLM talks to a model you bring yourself. Pick the one that fits your situation, get a key, and tell askLLM where to find it — most options are free. askLLM 使用你自備的模型。依你的情況挑一個、申請金鑰、再告訴 askLLM 到哪裡找它——多數選項都免費。

01

Which situation fits you?你是哪種情況?

Tap one to highlight the providers that match. Not sure? Any card works — start with NVIDIA or Gemini. 點一個就會標出符合的供應商。不確定?任一張都行——先從 NVIDIA 或 Gemini 開始。

02

Pick a provider & get a key挑一個供應商並申請金鑰

Each card shows exactly what to select in askLLM’s LLM settings. Model names change often — the “get a key” page always lists what’s current. 每張卡都寫明在 askLLM 的 LLM settings 要選什麼。模型名稱常變動——「申請金鑰」頁面永遠列出最新的。

Let askLLM find your key讓 askLLM 找到你的金鑰

askLLM never asks you to paste a key into jamovi — it reads it from your machine, so it’s never saved into your .omv file. Replace NVIDIA_API_KEY below with the env var from your provider card. askLLM 不會要你把金鑰貼進 jamovi——它從你的電腦讀取,所以金鑰絕不會被存進 .omv 檔。把下面的 NVIDIA_API_KEY 換成你那張卡的環境變數名。

  1. Open PowerShell and run (put your own key inside the quotes): 開啟 PowerShell,執行(引號內換成你的金鑰):
    setx NVIDIA_API_KEY "nvapi-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  2. Or add a user variable via Settings → System → About → Advanced system settings → Environment Variables. 或由「設定 → 系統 → 關於 → 進階系統設定 → 環境變數」新增使用者變數
  3. Fully quit and restart jamovi — close every window — for the change to take effect. 完全關閉並重啟 jamovi(關掉每個視窗)才會生效。

What leaves your machine什麼會離開你的電腦

Only summary statistics of the variables you pick — counts, means, SDs, factor frequencies — plus your question. Never the raw data rows. Your API key stays on your machine and is never written into the .omv file. For zero data leaving at all, choose Ollama. 只有你所選變數的摘要統計量(個數、平均、標準差、因子頻率)加上你的問題。絕不送原始資料列。你的金鑰留在本機,絕不寫入 .omv 檔。若要完全零外送,請選 Ollama
