Reddit sucks

  • Thanks. I don’t understand web UI enough. Thought it had to be hosted somewhere. I’ll try it out.

    I just want to use it for general web search, data processing and maybe some light automation. In the beginning I just wanna understand how it all works and how to set it up so small model is fine.

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks!

  • Thank you!!! This is awesome!

    When using llama.cpp, does it pass your prompts through a web server to process? Any privacy concerns?

    Sounds like I’m looking at a few grand to run something decent. I’ll need to do more research before I commit to that big of a purchase, but your machine sounds nice!

    Are there any small models you recommend that can run on 16GB DDR4 and an i7? No dedicated graphics card with separate VRAM. Maybe I’ll just experiment with something v small first.

    Thanks again!

  • Cool I’ve heard of it but I know there are a lot of variable. What model and size are you running with what hardware?

  • Rien de Rien and Now We Are Free

  • Can I get a recommendation for idiots guide to running this model locally and what kinds of expectations with the recommended setup/s?

    I presume I need at least a 24GB GPU? Can I trust buying a used one or should buy new?

    What about GPU rental/cloud services?

    Do I run it through terminal or it has a UI?

    Does it have all the same features and ease of use as public LLM’s like Claude and ChatGPT including MCP?

    What else should I know?

    Tons of questions. Where can I learn this stuff without breaking the bank?

    Thanks!

  • Yeah it’s rough, but depends on your job and where you work. If you’re remote you have a lot of affordable, albeit undesirable, places to live in the US. If you’re working in a metro area you likely won’t be able to afford anything decent in the immediate areas around you.

  • Depends. Are you also following the tongue doctrine?

  • If you can kiss it, do it.

  • If top of your price range means you’ve already calculated for what would happen if your income was jeopardized, then go for it. If top is living beyond your means, then probably not a good idea any time.

  • For sure. Thanks! Happy coding.

  • Congrats! Love that you’ve been able to experiment so much locally. Do you have any experience renting processing from something like Vast or RunPod?

  • If you’re saying power indoor growing, then yes I’d agree. Those lights use a lot of energy.

  • Haha that sounds awesome! Thanks

  • Haha nah is it a spoof?

  • Gotta watch Pingu

  • The greener you like it, the more monkey you are.

  • 🩷 keep being unapologetically yourself!

  • You gotta get one with more fat content or specifically a barista blend. Tried it for a while but went back to cow milk.
