You can run llama-30B on a CPU using llama.cpp, it's just slow. The alpaca models I've seen are the same size as the llama model they are trained on, so I would expect running the alpaca-30B models will be possible on any system capable of running llama-30B.

LLaMa/Alpaca work just fine on CPU with llama.cpp/alpaca.cpp. Not very snappy but fast enough for me.

text-generation-webui
A Gradio web UI for Large Language Models. Supports transformers, GPTQ, AWQ, EXL2, llama.cpp (GGUF), Llama models.
You are absolutely correct. text-gen-webui offers "streaming" via paging models in and out of VRAM. Using this your CPU no longer gets bogged down with running the model, but you don't see much improvement in generation speed as the GPU is churning with loading and unloading model data from main RAM all the time.
