Let’s talk about our experiences working with different models, either known or lesser-known.
Which locally run language models have you tried out? Share your insights, challenges, or anything you found interesting during your encounters with those models.
guanaco-65B is my favorite. It’s pretty hard to go back to 33B models after you’ve tried a 65B.
It’s slow and requires a lot of resources to run though. Also, not like there are a lot of 65B model choices.
What do you even run a 65b model on?
With a quantized GGML version you can just run on it on CPU if you have 64GB RAM. It is fairly slow though, I get about 800ms/token on a 5900X. Basically you start it generating something and come back in 30minutes or so. Can’t really carry on a conversation.
Is it smart enough that it can get the thread of what you are looking for without as much rerolling or handholding, so this comes out better?
