Exactly the video that I need. Thanks!

[@HaraldEngels]

I am running locally installed LLMs on my mini PC ASRock DeskMeet X600 with the CPU AMD Ryzen 5 8600G without a dedicated GPU. The AMD 8600G has an integrated NPU/GPU. I have 64GB RAM and a fast SSD. I can run easily LLMs up to 32B with Ollama under Ubuntu 24.04. The whole setup was significantly below $1,000. Inference with big models is slow but still 50 times faster then when I have to perform such tasks by myself.

[@jagvindersingh4543]

@HaraldEngles, question, are token per seconds on 32b, performance wise is it fast, moderate or slow ?

[@ryanjusay6072]

Great tutorial! Excellent session and easy to follow.

[@SonyJimable]

Awesome walk through. SUBSCRIBED!!! I also love the Minisforum mini server - I have my eye on one those and also on their Atomman G7 PT with an integrated 8GB RX 7600M XT...

Going to try this as soon as I get home.

[@mladenorsolic370]

Great video, now here's an idea for next one : rather than using this chatGPT like UI, i'd like to query my local model using API, basically writing my own UI to communicate with LLM. Any hints on how to start ?

[@AlanCheun]

cool, wanted to try something like this, with potentially mac mini M4, partly in consideration of energy consumption, but will consider some of the other options you mentioned

[@Stecbine]

Incredibly helpful video thank you, liked and subscribed!!!

[@turbo2ltr]

I just set up ollama on a VMware VM on my 12th gen i9 laptop. It's not the fastest thing, but was faster than I thought it would be, at least using the Ollama 1.5b or small Deepseek-r1. Now I want to actually make a small AI machine with a decent GPU.

[@svedalawoodcrafts]

Super nice tutorial!

[@thomasbayer2832]

Just what I needed!

[@zerosleep1975]

LM Studio is also an alternative worthy of looking at to serve multiple loaded models.

[@jridder89]

And it's much easier and faster to install

[@yakbreeder]

I don't get Ollama when LM Studio is SO much simpler to get setup and running.

[@GPTLocalhost]

Agreed. We tested deepseek-r1-distill-llama-8b in Microsoft Word using MacBook Pro (M1 Max, 64G) and it ran smoothly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imLQqmWdps5gbbM

[@jridder89]

@rangerkayla8824 the underside of LM is literally ollama.c

[@dailymotion101]

Or Pico AI on a mac. Or privateLLM.

[@jaxwylde2139]

Keep in mind that UNLESS you're using one of the very large parameter models, that the output is often wrong (hallucinations!) . Deepseek-r1 (8 Billion parameter), listed "Kamloops Bob" (whoever that is), as the 4th Prime Minister of Canada. It told me that there were two r's in strawberry, and only corrected itself (with a lot of apologizing) after I pointed that out. It also told me that Peter Piper picked 42 pecks of pickled peppers, because that's the answer according to the Hitchhiker's guide (42 is the universal answer to everything...LOL). Unless you have the space and hardware to install one of the very large models, I wouldn't take any of the outputted results as being accurate (without cross checking). It's fun (hilarious, in fact) to play with, but take the results with a LARGE grain of salt.

[@ok-ou7qk]

how much vram do you have?

[@789know]

btw only the 671B deepseek one is the real deal, the other one are just distilled model of Llama/Qwen (distilled using R1 output, so still improved from original) 8 billion may be too little I think some data show 14B seems to be the sweet spot (i think it is distilled R1 14B or sth like that), result not too far off compare to 32B on paper 32B Distilled R1 Qwen2.5 beat out 70B Distilled R1 Llama If ur hardware can handle it, i suggest trying the 14B

[@jaxwylde2139]

@ I've got a gaming laptop with mobile version of rtx4080 with 12 Gb VRAM. My Laptop also has 32 Gb RAM. I was able to run the 14B version with no issue, but it has too many hallucinations. I'm sticking with llama3.2 and phi-4 as they suit my needs perfectly. Cheers.

[@jaxwylde2139]

@ I agree. I misquoted my original post. I used the 14B version (and the 8B before that). I still had a bunch of errors (hallucinations), when compared with llama3.2 which answered more accurately. Although all seem to struggle with the number of r's in the word strawberry 🙂

[@agoysy]

thanks bro. I was planning to use the 8GB version as I value accuracy I canceled. Btw fun fact on Kamloops Bob is a person named Robert Trudeau from Kamloops, Canada. I think it got mixed up w Justin Trudeau, you guys guessed the 23rd prime minister of Canada. No idea how it went to 4th, but there it is.

[@DenisOnTheTube]

This is a GREAT video!

[@mohamedeladl6273]

Thanks, for your great video! How much storage needs to install both models?

[@Pub_Squash]

Why do you not also enable Windows Subsystem for Linux while in Windows Features, is that not what's needed?

[@Threadripperbourbon2024]

May have to go into your BIOS to enable Virtual Processing.

[@tonysolar284]

16:07 Any LLM can use the tag.

[@MrBrettStar]

I followed the steps but ollama basically crashes as soon as I enter a prompt, in openwebui and direct into cmd. Yet if I install Ubuntu on the same machine (within windows using wsl) and then install ollama it works fine within that environment so I’m not sure why it’s not working

[@elypelowski5670]

Excellent !!! I will have to load this up on my server :)

[@traxendregames7880]

Great job thanks for all information and your work, i will try that out soon! do you have recommendation if i want to buy a used GPU for this type of usage?

[@jamesbrady9105]

A most awesome video and detailed perfectly. I do have an issue, downloading the model filled up my hard drive, how can install it to an alternate drive? I have a 250GB C drive and 5 TB hard drive for my D drive. I want to install it on the 5TB one.

[@TomSmith-yh9ju]

ok, the problem for w10 users : WSL is installed by default in Windows 11. In Windows 10, it can be installed either by joining the Windows Insider program or manually via Microsoft Store or Winget. ---- without wsl - no docker

For anyone having difficulty installing a Linux distribution in Windows Subsystem for Linux, pls check that virtualisation is enabled for your CPU in the BIOS. Without a linux distro installed in WSL, Docker won’t start.

Great video - though I have issues :-) docker is installed and when I have installed the openwebui, it wont start! Is it a requirement, that the proxmox vm has nested enabled ? (I assume so, so did that.admin). So I uninstalled and re-installed Docker and I then installed WSL via Powershell, and lastly Re-installed webUI. So now WebUI starts in Docker and stays running. :-)

[@sham8996]

Can you make a tutorial to install and run a NPU optimized deepseek version on Cpiolot+ pc with Snapdragon ?

[@jiandam]

Do you have any guidance for install DeepSeek and use it for offline prompting? I saw many examples but only for creating a free chat app offline, not for prompting tasks like what we can do with the paid API.

[@alneid2707]

Hmmm... Have a 3060(12GB) hooked up to my MS-A1. I'll have to try installing this to the GPU. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@RealityTrailers]

So after downloading 10 different things, rebooting a few times, DeepSeek Ai works. Thanks.

[@zo2o]

Well, I installed ollama, and I started using it through the cli. It is sufficient to see that the low parameter versions (up to the 14b, which I could reasonably run on my toaster) are just garbage for an enduser like me (make no mistake, they are still tech marvels, but from a practical viewpoint, not really fit for the job yet). I need to invest into some hardware if I want to move on to the useful models. I wonder though, if they are correctly or at least better prompted, then could they be actually useful? Here is an example. I prompted the following instruction: "Find the three mistakes in the following sentence: This sentance contains, three mistakes." The online version solved the problem almost flawlessly, though regarded it a paradox for some reason (maybe paradoxes are fasionable). The smaller models just couldn't really tackle the problem. I might add, I used Hungarian as the input language, just for more fun.

[@hendrix5928]

thanks that worked great though for me I had to enable virtualization capabilities in my bios before i could get docker to work with out giving me an Unexpected WSL error

[@josephayooluwa8802]

I pulled the open webui image with podman and i have logged in to open webui but it can't see the model i have downloaded already nor can it pull a new model. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

[@mounishbalaji2038]

Nice video. Can you please make a video how to completely uninstall all this from my computer after setup everything.

[@KevinBoland215]

To install WSL I like to open a Powershell window and use command wsl --install then reboot. The default Linux Distro is Ubuntu. Say you wanted Debian then you can issue command wsl --install -d Debian. Hope this helps. From Powershell window to update WSL the command would be wsl --update

I can't get the Docker Desktop Installer to run, even as admin. It spins a wheel for 2 seconds then quits. Seems to be a common issue, but no advice seems to be helping

[@HeyStanleey]

I never understood the need for registering to Open Web UI and "login". All videos skip this part.. kind of weird for me. where does that information go? Overall the video is great, step by step. but that's my only big concern

[@CrosstalkSolutions]

It’s for local credentials. Open WebUI is a service - multiple people can use it from different computers. They would need their own logins so that you’re not sharing query history.

[@EduardoKabello]

And there it was. Why OpenAI is so fearefull of DeepSeek ? Because they offloaded this completition of queries logic to users PC :D that means in billions less processing power for all those stupid questions around the world :D and they just point all queries to distributed server with particular answers.

This is extremely interesting: Today (2025-01-30, 18:30 utc), I downloaded deepseek-r1:7b, and I entered the exact same question as you: "Tell me about the Tienenmen Square Massacre of 1989". From llama3.2 I got the corerct answer but from deepseek-r1:7b I got "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses". Why the difference from your answer? (By the way, I am running Ollama on a MacBook Pro, Apple M2 Pro with 16 GB memory)

[@CrosstalkSolutions]

Well - that's exactly what I showed in this video...sometimes the deepseek model answers that question, and sometimes it gives the censored answer - maybe it has to do with what was asked earlier in that same conversation?

[@ComedianHarmonistNL]

​@frooglesmythe9264 I just visited the channel Dave's Garage and he installed DeepSeek and got a satisfactory answer about Tienanmen Square. So what did you do wrong? Breaking of an initally appearing answer to a seemingly politically loaded question happened to me. But polite explaining and rephrase got me results. So rethink your way of asking questions.
