I think the most advanced OpenSource LLM model right now is considered to be Mistral 7B Open Orca. You can serve it via the Oobabooga GUI (which let’s you try other LLM models as well). If you don’t have a GPU for interference, this will be nothing like the ChatGPT experience though but much slower.

You can also try these models on your desktop using GPT4all, which doesn’t support GPU ATM.

Mistral OpenOrca is a good one. I pull about 10 to 11 tokens/sec. Very impressive. For some reason though, i cannot get GPT4ALL to use my 2080ti even though it is selected in the settings.

I haven’t tried running any myself so my knowledge is just from having glanced at a few discussions in AI communities when it’s come up, but I think Mistral 7B might be the current best, or a fine-tune of it such as Mistral 7B OpenOrca or Mistral 7B OpenHermes.

I recommend LMSTUDIO (https://lmstudio.ai/).

It allows you to manage and download models from Hugging Face, and suggests models compatible with your machine. Additionally, it can initiate a local HTTP server that functions similarly to OpenAI’s API."

Can someone explain what is the benefit of running all of these models locally? Are they better than the free available chatgpt? Any good reading on how to learn/get started with all this?
