Github creator @cocktailpeanut published a guide to running the language model Alpaca locally, which allows users to interact with a fine-tuned version of Facebook’s LLM LLaMa, which “behaves qualitatively similarly to OpenAI’s text-davinci-003.” The guide, called Dalai, consists of a series of javascript commands.
While the guide will be simple for anyone who knows JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages, it requires enough technical know-how that the majority of people (myself included) will get lost pretty quickly. Here, using Dalai as a foundation, I’ve put together an absolute beginner’s guide to running Alpaca locally, on your Mac.
