  You download the model and it’s on your computer for as long as you want. The whole point is to be able to use it locally.

    So it is entirely local? Schweet! How large is it?

      So it is entirely local? Absolutely

      How large is it? 12 models of quantization, from 3.08GB to 7.70GB

      I use mistral-7b-instruct-v0.1.Q3_K_L.gguf 3.82GB on the MBA

      Note that it might crash sometimes during computation. Just push the button “reload” then “continue” and the model finish its sentence as if nothing happened. I don’t know if its related to MLStudio (the app using the model) or the model itself though.
