I’ve recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have.
Has anyone got experience with this? Any recommendations? I have downloaded the full Reddit dataset so I could retrain the model on this one as selected communities provide immense value and knowledge (hehe this is exactly what reddit, twitter etc. are trying to avoid…)
Honestly all these are great suggestions for today, but this area is moving so fast I almost would suggest holding off six months to a year or so for a better solution to rise to the top. Their capabilities grow daily, and you may put in the work to get this set-up and have a much more capable solution appear soon afterwards. Just a thought though, if it’s mainly for a fun experiment then try some of these out!
While yes something else is going to move to the top, it’s still awesome to play with it today you should because it’s really important to see people learning how to run this stuff at home
