  • LocalAI

    :robot: The free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. Self-hosted, community-driven and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required. Runs gguf, transformers, diffusers and many more models architectures. It allows to generate Text, Audio, Video, Images. Also with voice cloning capabilities.

  • Your hardware should be fine for inferencing, as long as you don't bother trying to get the GPU working.

    My $0.02 would be to try getting LocalAI running on your machine with OpenCL/CLBlas acceleration for your CPU. If you're running other things, you could limit the inferencing process to 2 or 3 threads. That should get it working; I've been able to inference even 13b models on cheap Rockchip SOCs. Your CPU should be fine, even if it's a little outdated.

    Some decent models to start with:

    TinyLlama (extremely small/fast): https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3-GGU...

    Dolphin Mistral (larger size, better responses: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/dolphin-2.1-mistral-7B-GGUF
