How to Run LLAMA 3 on your PC or Raspberry Pi 5

[@maxdiamond55]

Thanks Gary great video, nice and direct. Exactly whats needed to get up and going, can't wait to test this.

[@EndaFarrell]

I _did_ get set up after watching this: 15 min later I was up and running with Llama 3 7B in lmstudio. Thanks Gary!

[@sonofabippi]

This was such a pleasant, easy to digest video about llama 3, that the next video started playing and I was like, "wait, that dude was awesome. I need to go back, do all the things (like, subscribe, bell)!"

[@coolParadigmes]

Amazing that such a huge LLM can run on a Raspberry PI 5! By the way for the towel question (3 towels=3 hours to dry, how long for 9 towels?) it describes correctly the reasoning to use [it depends on the towels characteristics (supposed identical) and the drying process], but it gets it wrong anyway 🙂 1 hour/towel which is only valid with a dryer paradigm with a drying power of precisely one towel/hour, but in the sun and plenty of space it takes the same time independently of the number of towel, so 3 hours.

[@DanMortenson]

So why are you answering 3 hours? Is it because you batched the towels into 3-towel batches? But why do that? Lay them all out together on a sunny day, and ONE hour later they will be dry.

[@coolParadigmes]

​@@DanMortenson I assumed that the original question "3 hours for 3 towels to dry" implied implicitly a standard external sunny garden also because 3 hours inside a dryer for 3 towels is incredibly long. But of course the original setting (3 hours for 3 towels) could be in relation with a malfunctioning dryer or super wet towels etc. So except assuming the most probable setting for the 2 situations (outside in both cases) we don't have enough information to extrapolate the time for 9 towels.

Love your t-shirt, Gary!

[@peterfrisch8373]

Gary, would a Raspberry Pi run Llama 3 faster with a Google Coral TPU?

[@chrisarmstrong8198]

Did it give the correct answer for the towels question ? It looked like it was about to say 9 hours.

[@peanutnutter1]

Looks like it

[@JoelJosephReji]

yup, it got derailed towards the end

[@An.Individual]

You cannot say 9 hours is wrong. You need more information before you start telling LLM's they are wrong.

[@Norman_Fleming]

@@An.Individual or anyone actually. The question is incomplete.

[@ManthaarJanyaro]

Can I feed the data to it, and ask from that Data?

[@andueskitzoidneversolo2823]

never heard of the towel question. i like it. like asking if a pound of feathers on Jupiter also weighs the same on earth.

[@G4GUO]

Are those examples using a quantized version of the model?

[@GaryExplains]

Yes

[@Nik.leonard]

Ollama by default uses q4_0. I'm not sure why it doesn't uses the arguably better, and only slightly larger q4_KM

[@G4GUO]

@@GaryExplains I thought that might be the case. I am running the 8B model on an RTX4090 and wondered how you managed to get it to fit!

[@mikeburke7028]

Thanks, definitely going to give it a try.

[@GaryExplains]

Have fun!

[@iAmMeAndYouAreYou]

Did you speed the reply up? I have the phi 3 mini on my rpi5 (4gb) and its insanely slow.

[@MRLPZ359]

Interesting video, any experience with other models, maybe SLMs like Phi-3 on raspberry pi. Also on smaller Raspis. Is there a chance to run this on a Raspi Zero 2 ?

[@aleksandardjurovic9203]

Thank you!

[@JNET_Reloaded]

ollama run dolphin-llama3

[@AlwaysCensored-xp1be]

Thanks, will try that one. Don't like some answers from Llama3

[@xuldevelopers]

When recommending software to install on users' computers, how do you verify its source? Have you read the terms and conditions? What do you know about that company?

[@ex2uply]

hey which ram version of raspberry Pi u are using?

[@GaryExplains]

Pi 5 with 8GB.

[@vasudevmenon2496]

Any reason why llama file wasn't used since you can swap out gguf file which works on nvidia, m1 and experimental support for rocm? Duck duck go AI chat is quite good and didn't need login. Claude felt a bit more natural than openai gpt4. Is llama3 a new foundation model that can perform on par with higher parameter in condensed form?

[@GaryExplains]

Having to swap out one file for another defeats the whole purpose of llamafile.

[@vasudevmenon2496]

@@GaryExplains but you can use different models with same executable.

[@GaryExplains]

Yes, but the whole point of llamafile is that you just download one file, that is its unique feature, otherwise use LM Studio or Ollama. Lllamafile is based on llama.cpp, as is LM Studio, so you gain nothing by fiddling around with the internals of llamafile. Just use an app that is designed to support multiple models. For example LM Studio also has experimental support for rocm, because they use the same underlying tech.

[@vasudevmenon2496]

@@GaryExplains oh wait i think you're mistaking it for generic 4GB file covered in your video. I'm just using their small executable which needed to be renamed to exe and proper gguf and other parameters. So

[@GaryExplains]

OK, but I still don't see how that is better than LM Studio or Ollama?

[@Wobbothe3rd]

Could a Mac with sufficient RAM run the full model?

[@timr.2257]

What would be the specs required for the 70 billion parameter model?

[@tonysheerness2427]

Money.

[@Nik.leonard]

Quantized on 4 bit it requires aprox. 40gb VRAM, puting it only in the realm of dual RTX 3090/4090's or top-tier mac M series (Max or Ultra with 64gb ram). Sure, you can run it in cpu/gpu mixed mode if you have 64gb ram but it will generate only 1 to 2 Tokens per second. The full unquantized model weighs 141gb so it's nearly impossible to run in a home lab. For testing the model, you can use Groq beta.

[@Wobbothe3rd]

@@Nik.leonard Thanks, was wondering exactly this.

[@MrStevemur]

Sounds fun, but I'd like it to be able to analyze input from sources other than what I type into a chat window. E.G., "Read report_final.docx and generate a summary." Are we there yet?

[@Vinnye9]

GPT-4 can do it, but i haven't seen any local options. Sorry.

[@PrashantKumarPrasad]

Can you share codes to run llama3 in raspberry. I don't think it is possible to run llama in raspberry !

[@GaryExplains]

I show it running on the Raspberry Pi in the video. Just use ollama exactly like I show.

[@PrashantKumarPrasad]

@@GaryExplains Last week I spent too much time but none of solution worked. If you have a basic example code that I can copy paste it will help me lot.

[@GaryExplains]

It should work exactly like I show in the video. The command to install oolama is on the oolama web site. What Pi are you using? How much RAM does it have? What error did you get?

[@Try2-Imagine]

Will a dual cpu 40 core xenon server wirh 128G ram run the 70 billion version?

[@Try2-Imagine]

Also, has the extreme liberal bias been removed?

[@moldytexas]

Afaik yes. It takes around 20-40gb of storage, just that inference will he stupidly slow. If you have access to some beefy gpu's, offload it onto that depending upon vram ofc.

[@johncage5368]

7:10 ... and there it failed 😂

[@iainmalcolm1]

hehe works a treat
