Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Selfhosted LLM (ChatGPT) (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by autopilot to c/selfhosted
 

I've recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have.

Has anyone got experience with this? Any recommendations? I have downloaded the full Reddit dataset so I could retrain the model on this one as selected communities provide immense value and knowledge (hehe this is exactly what reddit, twitter etc. are trying to avoid...)

I can vouch for the horde, it's addicting to watch your little point counter go up after you've put something out there and seeing people use something you are hosting.

It's awesome to put a computer out onto the internet and have real life people getting real benefit within minutes. This is a way you can do it, and there's so much demand that you are helping people by putting your machine out there.

However, I will give you a fair warning, it will be used for porn. Not entirely, but it will happen.

Not entirely, but almost exclusively :D

However you can make the worker SFW if you prefer
