Cheapest way to run local LLMs? (alien.top)

Not super knowledgeable about all the different specs of the different Orange PI and Rasberry PI models. I'm looking for something relatively cheap that can connect to WiFi and USB. I want to be able to run at least 13b models at a a decent tok / s.

Also open to other solutions. I have a Mac M1 (8gb RAM) and upgrading the computer itself would be cost prohibitive for me.

Q4_0 and Q4_1 would both be legacy.

The k_m is the new "k quant" (I guess it's not that new anymore, it's been around for months now).

The idea is that the more important layers are done at a higher precision, while the less important layers are done at a lower precision.

It seems to work well, thus why it has become the new standard for the most part.

Q4_k_m does the most important layers at 5 bit and the less important ones at 4 bit.

It is closer in quality/perplexity to q5_0, while being closer in size to q4_0.
