Thanks for all the info! I’d love to run a model locally, but I don’t have the money for a decent enough setup right now, but I know it’s getting close. How effective is the 3b model? Does it do the job for you or you feel like it’s lacking? Are requests pretty slow on that machine?
It runs pretty well. I didn't notice a speed difference between it and DeepSeek's web chat. I haven't used it for anything big, I'm primarily trying to stay current with the technology so I know what I'm talking about during job interviews.
Cool. I’m looking forward to getting the hardware to run locally. Any alternatives you know about where I can borrow computing to run my own model?
