   • It must be combined with Kobold AI and an AI language model like LLaMA to generate responses.
2. Similarly, Kobold AI does not generate responses on its own.
   • It only works when connected to language models like LLaMA, GPT-J, etc.
3. Kobold AI is an orchestrator / Middleware.
   • It bridges Janitor AI with a language model.
4. In short, Janitor AI ➡️ , Kobold AI ➡️ , LLaMA
5. Language models work as a brain of a janitor plus a kobold combination.
6. Additionally, Janitor AI, when combined with Kobold AI without a language model, is ineffective.
