A GPU-poor user finds a small local model 'good enough'
The item describes running an open-source locally as a personal chat assistant, specifically the UD-Q4_K_XL quantized version of -qat-GGUF. While acknowledging that large are impressive, it makes the point that they are unusable for someone without a powerful GPU, and argues that the model you can actually run locally is the one that matters in practice.
Key points
- Runs the UD-Q4_K_XL quantized version of -qat-GGUF as a personal chat assistant
- Works locally without a powerful GPU
- Argues that a model you can actually run matters more than a more capable but inaccessible one
- No specific benchmarks, speed, or accuracy figures are given
