 "title": "Chat with a local PSSA checkpoint in the terminal",
 "page_title": "How to chat with a local PSSA checkpoint in the terminal with Pssa",
 "summary": "Load a trained checkpoint in the TUI inference page and talk to it, with saved conversations.",
 "who": "A developer who has a trained PSSA or TRFM checkpoint and wants to try its replies without writing code.",
 "problem": "Testing a trained checkpoint usually means writing a script, and past conversations are easy to lose.",
 "outcome": "A streamed chat with the model, live tokens per second, and saved conversation files in the chats folder.",
 "steps": [
  "Build the Pssa binary from the repository. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `pssa tui` in a terminal.",
  "Press Tab to reach inference, then type `/model` to list checkpoints in your chain folder or data folder.",
  "Type `/model PATH` with the path to your checkpoint and press Enter after typing a message.",
  "Use `/new` to start a new conversation and `/chats` to list saved ones."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Sparticle62ops/pssa repository, start `pssa tui`, select a checkpoint with `/model <checkpoint-path>`, and send one message. Report the reply and the tokens per second shown. Verify that a JSON file was written in the chats folder.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says checkpoint loading cannot be interrupted, so a large checkpoint may take a while before Esc or /stop has any effect.",
 "category": "Research",
 "tags": [
  "Research"
 ],
 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "A Rust toolchain (inferred from the Rust implementation and the cargo commands in the README)",
  "The pssa binary built from the Sparticle62ops/pssa repository",
  "A plain UTF-8 text file to train on",
  "A terminal that supports the TUI, or use --no-tui for plain logs"
