Hello internet users. I have tried gpt4all and like it, but it is very slow on my laptop. I was wondering if anyone here knows of any solutions I could run on my server (debian 12, amd cpu, intel a380 gpu) through a web interface. Has anyone found any good way to do this?

I know the gpt4all models run fine on my desktop with 8gig vram. It does use a decent chunk of my normal ram though. Could the gpt4all models work on huggingface or do they use different formats? Sorry if I am completely misunderstanding huggingface, I haven’t heard of it until now.
Huggingface TGI is just a piece of software handling the models, like gpt4all. Here is a list of models officially supported by TGI, although they state that you can try different ones as well. You follow the link and look for the files section. The size of the model files (safetensors or pickele binaries) gives a good estimate of how much vram you will need. Sadly this is more than most consumer graphics cards have except for santacoder and microsoft phi.
I don’t really want to try to get that to work. I wonder how hard it would be to create my own webui using gpt4all’s Python package.
