How to use Obsidian to access the free AI writing assistant

Ideas
- One is to call the Alibaba Cloud limited-time free Tongyi model through the MantouAI plugin, which has better Chinese support for domestic models
- The other is to call the local gemma model repository through the local-gpt plugin, running downloaded gemma:2b or qwen:4b models locally
Methods
- MantouAI plugin method
  - Install the MantouAI community plugin in obsidian
  - Apply for a limited-time free Dashscope API Key from Alibaba Cloud
  - Fill in the Key obtained in the MantouAI plugin box
  - With the premise of selecting part of the text in the note as the corpus
  - Press ctrl+P to open the command panel and enter MantouAI
  - Choose functions such as polishing, translation, summarization, questioning, etc. as needed
  - The result will be generated at the cursor position
    - Common functions can also be added to obsidian shortcuts, such as setting the question function to ctrl+shift+?
- Local-gpt plugin method
  - Download and install the ollama software from the official website on the computer system
  - Open the command line and enter ollama --version to confirm the installation version is correct
  - Continue to enter ollama run gemma:2b, wait for the download and installation of the gemma:2b small model that supports 8G memory
    - Depending on the VRAM and memory size, multiple models can be downloaded and installed, such as:
    - Optional ollama run gemma:4b
    - Optional ollama run gemma:7b
    - Optional ollama run qwen:4b
    - Optional ollama run qwen:14b
    - Specific supported models can be queried from the ollama official website
  - Install the local-gpt plugin in obsidian and configure it
    - Selected AI provider: Ollama
    - Set Ollama URL to http://localhost:11434
    - Choose the Default model based on the installed models above, such as gemma:2b
    - Set a shortcut key for the local-gpt plugin, such as ctrl+alt+?, to differentiate from MantouAI's ctrl+shift+?
    - With the premise of selecting part of the text in the note as the corpus, press the ctrl+alt+? shortcut key
    - Select the desired command from the pop-up Summarize and other commands and confirm
      - Also, modify or add the names and prompt words of commands in the local-gpt plugin settings
Conclusion
- Priority should be given to the MantouAI plugin method for better Chinese support in domestic models
- When privacy is a concern, the local-gpt plugin method can be used, but it requires higher computer configuration
