Hey guys,

What’s currently the best LLM for low-VRAM machines with only 6 GB VRAM? I’ve got 32GB RAM as well.

I’m experimenting a little with SillyTavern and I’m curious which model gets the most out of my setup. Should be multilingual and suitable for “casual chatting”.

I know I will probably not get very far with this, but I’m still interested in how far we’ve already come.

(Using KoboldCPP if that matters).

with a 20b model on weak hardware you’ll be waiting more like 10 minutes. unless the os clobbers your process for using too much memory.

Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they’re still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
