Yep.

Ollama + about 8 different models at the moment, hosted on a mac mini with open webui as a front end.

Predominantly for transcription, translation, an extra round of security checks on code, a more context friendly home assistant interface, and a daily run of context evaluation on property I'm looking for with a lot of specific needs (acreage, min elevation change, soil type, area, etc).

I have to recommend switching to llamacpp. It's SO much faster than ollama.

On the list but haven't gotten to it yet, but I know I should. I could probably get a bit more out of that box with it, expand the context windows a bit...

mac mini

How? What is your average response time?

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 7 hours ago

Apple silicon is pretty good at it as long as you've got the ram for it. I wouldn't do less than 16GB.

A few seconds for most of the tasks

Just an m2 w/ 16gb I repurposed.

Can't really do a lot at once, and the context is limited, but it does the trick. I'd buy a few more if I saw them at the right price.

Nice, I’ve got a Mac Studio M1 Max with 32GB of RAM that I use with Ollama and then I host OpenWebUI and OpenCode on my Arch Server. I use the Mac as a primary workstation, so it’s a little rough when I start running a model. I’m sure I could probably do and learn more about Ollama to improve my experience, but for now it works for certain tasks.

I got mine a few years back for some iOS builds, don't need to do them that often so it became the model host for me
