openplayground VS dalai

I load up $5 into my account using my credit card and then reload it whenever it gets low, it also has a tab for comparing multiple resulta from different models together.

Try here: https://github.com/nat/openplayground

From there you have lots of other models: One of the best places to easily start using multiple models is using a multiple model UI program lik GPT4All, there are also some programs that provide access to more models or use different ways of interfacing with them, here are some of what I've found are the best / most popular programs to play around with lots of different models and compare them: LocalAI, text-generation-webui, open playground

Here's another interesting engine called AI playground that lets you do side-by-side comparisons of language models based on the same prompts: https://github.com/nat/openplayground

I agree, I've definitely seen way more information about running image synthesis models like Stable Diffusion locally than I have LLMs. It's counterintuitive to me that Stable Diffusion takes less RAM than an LLM, especially considering it still needs the word vectors. Goes to show I know nothing.

I guess it comes down to the requirement of a very high end (or multiple) GPU that makes it impractical for most vs just running it in Colab or something.

Tho there are some efforts:

If you're just looking to play with something locally for the first time, this is the simplest project I've found and has a simple web UI: https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai

It works for 7B/13B/30B/65B LLaMA and Alpaca (fine-tuned LLaMA which definitely works better). The smaller models at least should run on pretty much any computer.

I am not against easy mode options dude, for example I used to run GANs through command line. I replaced them with Upscayl when I found it. Convenience is king after all. Something about this one isn't right though. They are advertising it as a model they built meanwhile their own github show it to be a frontend of LLAMA. Why aren't they honest about it? Why use bots to spam about it? This causes me to not trust the executable they share to 1 to 1 compliation of the source code neither. I would still recommend looking for more decent alternatives. Btw, running it directly isn't that complicated

This was easy to get running: https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai with alpaca 13B (on my 16GB or ram)

I had it running before with Dalai (https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai) but have since moved to using the browser based WebGPU method (https://mlc.ai/web-llm/) which uses Vicuna 7B and is quite good.

https://github.com/nsarrazin/serge let's you pick which model and runs in a container. For API https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai looks super promising.
