I been playing with the Mistral 7b models. About the most my hardware can reasonably run... so far. Would love to add vision and voice but I'm just happy it can run.

Dyf_Tfh@lemmy.sdf.org 5 months agoIf you already didn’t know, you can run locally some small models with an entry level GPU.
For example i can run Llama 3 8B or Mistral 7B on a 1060 3GB with Ollama. It is about as bad as GPT-3 turbo, so overall mildly useful.
Although there is quite a bit of controversy of what is an “open source” model, most are only “open weight”

I’ve been wanting to run that one on my hardware but GPT4All just refuses to start its GUI. The only thing is a “chat.exe” that sits idle in the task manager. And this is an issue I’ve seen reported in their Github from several users, on both Win 10 and 11.
Have you find success with that frontend, or are you using one that actually works? I haven’t researched any others since this issue has me a little burnt out.

I use TextgenWebui and sometimes Kobold. I can only run it with 4bit quant enabled since I'm just short on VRam to fully load the model.
Text gen runs a server you access though the web browser instead of a desktop app.
I haven't tried GPT4all.

Emphasis on “small” models. The large ones need about $80,000 in RAM.

Llama 2 70B can run on a specc-ed out current gen MacBook Pro. Not cheap hardware in any sense, but it isn’t a large data center cluster.
