  Honestly just jump in with whatever hardware you have available and a small 1.5b/7b model. You’ll figure out all the difficult uncertainties as you go and try to improve things.

  I’m hosting a few lighter models that are somewhat useful and fun without even using a dedicated GPU- just a lot of ram and fast NVMe so the models don’t take forever to spin up.

  Of course I’ve got an upgrade path in mind for the hardware and to add a GPU but there are other places I’d rather put the money atm and I do appreciate that it all currently runs on a 250w PSU.

  If I had to make business sense of this, it might be a pilot for eventual functions like a “sentiment injection” tool to really sway public opinion. With enough halfway believable accounts, not only does the site look more active, but companies/advertisers could pay Facebook to have the bots shovel opinions and products to users in a more overwhelming and coordinated approach than is currently possible with external bots.
