Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Why do people host LLMs at home when processing the same amount of data from the internet to train their LLM will never be even a little bit as efficient as sending a paid prompt to some high quality official model?

inb4 privacy concerns or a proof of concept

this is out of discussion, I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one. I don't care about anything else than quality of generated answers

Why would you need a reason other than privacy? Or for that matter any reason you want or nobe at all.

To be fair, he is just asking for more reasons than privacy. No reason not to give him them, and also okay to say we don't think there is any.

No, they said they "ruled out" privacy for "obvious reasons".

Obviously mockable statement.

His assumption seems to be that there must be other reasons or that that reason is somehow not valid enough though.
