I’ve recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have.

Has anyone got experience with this? Any recommendations? I have downloaded the full Reddit dataset so I could retrain the model on this one as selected communities provide immense value and knowledge (hehe this is exactly what reddit, twitter etc. are trying to avoid…)

    The model creator usually mentioned it in the readme:

    You will need at least 16GB of memory to swiftly run inference with Falcon-7B.

    Usually the models support CPU inference. Tremendously slow but works in a pinch.
