I found a company that installs a dedicated local version of ChatGPT onto a website. The website operator uploads documents to this dedicated version, and it answers questions from that data only. I think that is how it works. I do not think it goes to outside sources.
The company is here: https://www.chatfast.io/ Pricing is here: https://www.chatfast.io/pricing I tried the $0 free evaluation version. It has limited capabilities. I can only upload one paper to it, in text format only. I can only ask 6 questions per day. So I uploaded McKubre's paper, "Cold Fusion (LENR) One Perspective on the State of the Science." I asked it 6 questions. The answers are better than what you get from talking to the public version of ChatGPT. It has some quirks. It generated several questions and answers spontaneously (marked below). It answered most questions by directly quoting the paper. It looks to me like the biggest problem would be the cost. Even the $250 per month version may not have the capacity to store all of the LENR-CANR.org files. That's way more than I am willing to pay. The pricing is strange. The $60/month version has "30 chatbots" with "3,000,000 characters/bot." That's 90 MB of text. The $250/month version stores 300 MB of text. Text only; it does not store images. That greatly reduces file sizes. The JCMNS Vol. 36 is 87.6 MB in .pdf format, but only 1.2 MB in text format. However, there are 1,168 documents so I doubt that 90 MB or even 300 MB would be enough. This will probably have to wait until cheaper utilities become available. There is a long technical article describing how to do this yourself. I think you still have to pay OpenAI for their "tokens." I do not think I am capable of following these instructions. It would take me weeks to figure this out: https://betterprogramming.pub/how-to-build-your-own-custom-chatgpt-with-custom-knowledge-base-4e61ad82427e Anyway, here is the transcript of my questions about the McKubre paper. This was the only document on file. It would be interesting to see how it responds when there are multiple documents and data sources. ChatFast responses after uploading text from: McKubreMCHcoldfusionb.pdf 👋 Hello! What can I do for you today? What was the average loading of Pd at MIT? The average loading ratios were found to be 0.75±0.05 and 0.78±0.05 for the D and H loaded cathodes, respectively, according to Albagli et al [7] from MIT. *[The next several questions were spontaneously generated by ChatFast, not me.]* Q: What is the FPE? A: The FPE refers to the Fleischmann-Pons Effect, which is the observation of excess heat production during the electrolysis of heavy water on palladium electrodes. Q: What is the loading ability of Engelhard Lot #1? A: Engelhard Lot #1 demonstrated in an astonishing 32% of all experiments a maximum loading 0.95>D/Pd>1.0, with 36% 1.00>D/Pd>1.05, and 14% (3 cathodes) > 1.05. An electrode capable of attaining and maintaining high loading is an electrode that is capable of producing excess heat. Q: What is the SuperWave™? A: The SuperWave™ is a fractal sinusoid current stimulus designated by Energetics in their experiments. Q: What is the Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions? A: The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reactions is a book by E. Storms that discusses the phenomenon of low energy nuclear reactions, including the Fleischmann-Pons Effect. Q: What is the origin of the irreproducibility in the matrix experiment? A: Trace impurity differences were observed to be contributory and there were two sets: deleterious impurities (poisons) that were learned to avoid; impurities that were beneficial to high loading in controlled amounts. The second major factor of experiment variability is the palladium metal cathode: source and condition. Q: What is the context of this conversation? A: The context of this conversation is the Fleischmann-Pons Effect and related experiments and research conducted at SRI and other institutions. *[End of spontaneous questions.]* What is the highest loading reported in the literature? I'm sorry, I cannot find information on the highest loading reported in the literature. Please provide more specific details or a different question related to the data provided. What is the lowest loading ratio at which excess heat is reported? [ID] [Some sort of error code?] What is typical initiation time for a cold fusion experiment? According to the data provided, a typical initiation time for a cold fusion experiment is around 300 hours. However, it is important to note that the durations of the experiments were wholly insufficient for a typical initiation time in some of the cited studies. What were some of the "unserious" efforts to correlate experimental results? According to the data provided, in the early days of studying the Fleischmann-Pons Effect (FPE) at SRI, flippant and intentionally unserious attempts were made to correlate the appearance of positive FPE results with the record (or existence) of university football teams and with national character. However, it is important to note that serious criticisms do exist regarding the reproducibility of the experiments. Summarize experiments at ENEA. *[These are mostly direct quotes from the paper. That's okay. It would be helpful for people looking for ENEA experiments.]* According to the data provided, ENEA conducted comparative studies on materials of similar general form, specifically Pd foils 80 mm long, 7 mm wide and 50 µm thick. The studies were conducted in collaboration with the Violante team of ENEA (Frascati) and the Energetics team of Dardik, Lesin et al. The experiments at ENEA used a closed-cell mass flow calorimeter and were performed independently of experiments at SRI. The results obtained from the same material lots performed independently at ENEA and SRI were compared in Figure 3. The different lots of materials reflect different sources, rolling and annealing conditions and are designated by the ENEA “L” number, L14, 15, 16, 17 etc on the horizontal axis. The general point is that the same lot type of material will give the same approximate level of excess power result in two different laboratories. There is a consistency of behavior, and that behavior varies very much with the lots. The lot numbers without points in Figure 3 produced no excess power at SRI or ENEA (although all lots were not tested at both locations)."""
