I’ve been looking into self-hosting LLMs or stable diffusion models using something like LocalAI and / or Ollama and LibreChat.
Some questions to get a nice discussion going:
- Any of you have experience with this?
- What are your motivations?
- What are you using in terms of hardware?
- Considerations regarding energy efficiency and associated costs?
- What about renting a GPU? Privacy implications?
Ive been playing with the nixified.ai project, which packages two web interfaces for LLMs and image generation. Im also looking into Tabby.ml for code assistant as well. I haven’t gotten deep, but these all look like promising options for utilitizing a server’s hardware but offering the functionality across the network.
You want https://tabby.tabbyml.com/ instead of tabby.ml
