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…)

      At the moment most LLM libraries use CUDA for acceleration, which is a hardware feature on nvidia GPUs

      I believe llama.cpp can make use of AMD GPUs, but double check the project’s GitHub discussions first to confirm this, and see how people set it up
