Missing AI Packages

Hey everyone, I've been browsing through the Arch Linux AUR recently and noticed a scarcity of AI-related packages. Specifically, I couldn't find some prominent tools like oobabooga/text-generation-webui, KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client, TavernAI/TavernAI, and Haidra-Org/AI-Horde. I'm curious to know if these tools are simply not stable or popular enough to make it to the AUR, or if they are being developed and abandoned faster than anyone can keep track of. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any insights to share?

Probably noone is interested in AI in general or/and these tools especially.

oobabooga/text-generation-webu: docker setup is easy
KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client: dockerfiles exist
TavernAI/TavernAI: dockerfiles exist
Haidra-Org/AI-Horde: I can't find install instructions.

Re: Missing AI Packages

For an entry to be in AUR, three things must happen at the same time. There must be sombody:

• Interested in that piece of software.

• Having skill required to produce a working PKGBUILD.

• Willing to put effort into maintaining it in AUR.

Each of these alone is unlikely. Three of them are exponentially less likely. To me it sounds like a sufficient explanation.
