Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
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.

I feel like for non coding tasks you're sadly better off using a 13B model, codellama lost a lot of knowledge/chattiness from its coding fine tuning
THAT SAID it actually kind of depends on what you're trying to do, if you're aiming for RP don't bother, if you're thinking about summarization or logic tasks or RAG, codellama may do totally fine, so more info may help
If you have 24gb of VRAM (my assumption if you can load 34B) you could also play around with 70B at 2.4bpw using exllamav2 (if that made no sense lemme know if it interests you and I'll elaborate) but it'll probably be slower
