Optimal RAM & does GPU make any difference?

Open jjsarf opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Does anyone know what RAM would be best to run privateGPT? Also does GPU play any role? If so, what config setting could we use to optimize performance. It takes minutes to get a response irrespective what gen CPU I run this under. Also, is there a smaller model we can use that would be faster?

I think the Ram is based on the size of your model, there is a number given when you start privateGPT which is like 10GB. With this configuration it is not able to access resources of the GPU, which is very unfortunate because the GPU would be much faster. There are smaller models (Im not sure whats compatible with privateGPT) but the smaller the model the "dumber". I'm not sure where to find models but if someone knows do tell

Can you be more specific? I did not see anywhere where we can allocate the memory... Thank you

When you start privateGPT one of the first messages that pops up is a memory message, I'm not home so I don't know the exact message
