Hello ! I am looking for a self-hosted or self-hostable nlp (like llama or chatgpt) but very very small one that could work with as low as ~300 mb of ram. It needs to have an API. I plan to integrate it into my dashboard project you might know, homarr. I’d like to make some kind of assistant to directly help within the app by using its integrations capabilities.
The tool needs to be self-hosted so that users won’t leak the queries to anyone. A freemium service that you can either self-host or pay for would also work.
It does not need to have a huge knowledge base (doesn’t need to know a good lobster recipe) , just to be able understand basic language inputs and in turn I will make it communicate with the key parts of the app
I apologize if this is not worded properly as I am fairly new to the world of LLMs.
I can run VMWare’s Open LLama 7B v2 Open Instruct on my laptop comfortably (though I have 64GB ram and 16GB VRAM) and my sense is that’s it’s probably somewhere between GPT2 and GPT3 in inference quality. It is, however, very slow. Even with my comparatively strong hardware, it’s slow enough that I wouldn’t want to use it in an interactive context (though it may be useful for background processing)
