I’m looking for a resource efficient AI model for text generation (math, coding etc.) that will work with LocalAI. Which model should I use? I don’t want it to use more than 1-3 GB RAM. I’ll run it on a vps to use with Nextcloud.
Edit: I’m use Mistral AI and Groq.com instead of selfhosting the models. They both have generous free plan.
To actually answer this, you could look into free APIs of open source models, which have daily limits but are otherwise largely catch-free. You could even mirror endpoints on your VPS if you need to, or host “middleware” like prompt formatters and enhancers.
I say this because, as others said, you cannot actually host AI on a VPS…
