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.

    None. There is no model that can output anything even remotely usable on that tiny amount of RAM and certainly not using the few CPU cycles your vps has to offer.

      Correct answer. There is no general purpose AI model that can fit ino 1GB. These small models exist, but they do very specific small tasks. Sentiment analysis, object detection, word embeddings for vector databases…

      For coding, answering questions and generating text, you’d need like 6-8GB minimum. For maths way more than that and they’ll still be throwing dice instead of giving correct answers.
