Comment on Ch.at – A lightweight LLM chat service accessible through HTTP, SSH, DNS and API

Comments

I see this is using GPT4o, any plans for something more sustainable? Would be interesting to see an https://openfreemap.org for LLMs.

Perhaps via an RNN like in https://huggingface.co/spaces/BlinkDL/RWKV-Gradio-2

Or even just leverage huggingface gradio spaces? (most are Gradio apps that expose APIs https://www.gradio.app/guides/view-api-page)

I wonder if a 1B model could be close to free to host. That's an eventuality, but I wonder how long it'll take for that to be real.

I’m planning to deploy a 1B model, feed it all the documents I’ve ever written, host it on a $149 mini-PC in my bedroom, and enable you to chat with it.

I’ve released similar projects before.

I’ll drop a post about my plans in the coming days and I’ll build and document it about two weeks later if there’s enough interest.

A 1B model at 2-bit quantization is about the size of the average web page anymore. With some WebGPU support you could run such a model in a browser.

I'm half joking. Web pages are ludicrously fat these days.

That was the exact thing I was thinking of but couldn't remember the project name. Thanks!
