Content-based gating (_should_think) was introduced in 87fcaa6 to cut
TTFT on simple prompts, but it has no way to tell that short prompts
like "create a task titled X" are going to trigger a tool call — and
qwen3:14b's tool-call template is unreliable at think=False, producing
intermittent silent generations where output tokens burn but nothing
parses into content or tool_calls.
Reverting to always-on thinking restores the pre-87fcaa6 reliability
of tool emission at the cost of TTFT latency on short conversational
prompts. This also lets us delete the silent-round retry loop (which
can no longer fire) along with its bookkeeping.

Fabled Assistant
A self-hosted second brain and project management application with integrated LLM capabilities. Write, organise, and act on your notes and tasks with the help of a local AI assistant — all running on your own hardware.
Features
Notes and tasks with a Markdown editor, sub-tasks, milestones, and kanban project workspaces. AI chat with streaming responses, RAG over your notes, and tool use (web search, calendar, weather). A daily briefing that digests your tasks, RSS feeds, and weather on a schedule. Knowledge graph, per-user/group sharing, PWA with push notifications, an MCP server for external AI clients, and an Android companion app.
Quick Start
Prerequisites: Docker and Docker Compose. 8 GB+ RAM recommended for LLM inference.
Download docker-compose.quickstart.yml from this repo, then:
# Optional but recommended — set a secret key
export SECRET_KEY=your-random-secret-here
docker compose -f docker-compose.quickstart.yml up -d
Open http://localhost:5000. The first user to register becomes admin. Go to Settings → General to pull an LLM model — qwen3:8b or llama3.1:8b are good starting points.
GPU: Ollama runs CPU-only by default. See the comments in
docker-compose.quickstart.ymlto enable NVIDIA GPU passthrough.
Development: To build from source, see Development.
