Living Being

A sophisticated artificial life simulation that implements continuous thought processes and desire-driven behavior, mimicking the cognitive patterns of living beings.

Features

• Continuous Thinking Process: Simulates ongoing thought generation and self-reflection
• Desire System: Implements a flexible system of desires and goals that guide the AI's behavior
• Multi-LLM Support: Compatible with both Ollama and OpenAI language models
• Persistent Storage: Stores thoughts and desires in a SQLite database
• REST API: Full-featured API for interaction and control
