I forked Andrej Karpathy's LLM Council and added a Modern UI & Settings Page, multi-AI API support, web search provi

Hey everyone!
I recently spent a couple of weekends improving Karpathy's excellent LLM Council Open Source Project.
The [original project](https://github.com/karpathy/llm-council) was brilliant but lacked usability and flexibility imho.
**What I added:**
* Web search integration (DuckDuckGo, Tavily, Brave, Jina AI)
* Clean Modern UI with a settings page to support:
* Support for multiple API providers (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.)
* Customizable system prompts and temperature controls (the custom prompts open up tons of use cases beyond a "council")
* Export & Import of councils, prompts, and settings (for backup and even sharing)
* Control the council size (from 1 to 8 - original only supported 3)
* Full Ollama support for local models
* "I'm Feeling Lucky" random model selector
* Filter only Free models on OpenRouter (although Rate Limits can be an issue)
* Control the Process, from a simple asking multiple models a question in parallel (Chat Only), Chat & peer rating where models rate the responses of other models, and Full end-to-end deliberation where the Chairman model makes the final decision on the best answer
You can compare up to 8 models simul

what to do if you lack critical thinking skills but are also self aware of it

hello everyone! i am a 27F and in the last few years i have realized i am kind of an idiot, lol. i value intelligence, but as i’ve gotten older i realize that i am kind of dumb— it’s like im air headed and lack critical thinking skills compared to everybody else i interact with. the issue is, im horrifically self aware about this and as much as i have tried to change and improve it’s gone nowhere. ive been dealing with this for years, but my self esteem since i’ve gotten a new job in the last six months has absolutely tanked because it’s even more obvious in the field that i am in. i have tried everything, being more “invisible,” educating myself more, just trying to laugh off whatever embarrassing thing i did in front of my coworkers, etc.
i guess it’s just an extremely hard pill to swallow, and i have got to figure out how to not feel any lower than i currently do because i am at rock bottom, lol.
thank you in advance!
edit: edit to add that i don’t feel like i don’t have value or bring anything to the table, but this one aspect of myself is dominating all of the other qualities about myself that i view as “good” because this constantly impacts everything around me
