I like the gemma models bc of the phrasing they use and that they give sources sometimes. The best results though come from llama3 I think. Also openhermes and openchat, which perform well enough for my purposes.
In the beginning i had used microsoft phi, that wasn't that good though.
Have a look at self hosted alternatives like Ollama in combination with Open-webui. It can be a hassle to set up, or even excruciatingly painful if you never touched a computer before, but it could be worth a try. I use it daily and like it much more than chatgpt to be honest.
Glad i could help ;)
You can get different results, sometimes better sometimes worse, most of the time differently phrased (e.g. the gemma models by google like to do bulletlists and sometimes tell me where they got that information from). There are models specifically trained / finetuned for different tasks (mostly coding, but also writing stories, answering medical questions, telling me what is on a picture, speaking different languages, running on smaller / bigger hardware, etc.). Have a look at ollamas library of models which is outright tiny compared to e.g. huggingface.
Also, i don't trust OpenAI and others to be confidential with company data or explicit code snippets from work i feed them.
If you're lucky you just set it to the wrong version, mine uses 10.3.0 (see below).
I tried running the docker container first as well but gave up since there are seperate versions for cuda and rocm which comes packaged with this as well and therefor gets unnecessary big.
I am running it on Fedora natively. I installed it with the setup script from the top of the docs:
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
After that i created a service file (also stated in the linked docs) so that it starts at boot time (so i can just boot my pc and forget it without needing to login).
The crucial part for the GPU in question (RX 6700XT) was this line under the [service] section:
Environment="HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0"
As you stated, this sets the environment variable for rocm. Also to be able to reach it from outside of localhost (for my server):
Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"
I have my gaming pc running as ollama host when i need it (RX 6700XT with rocm doing the heavy lifting). PC idles at ~50W and draws up to 200W when generating an answer. It is plenty fast though.
My mini pc home server is running openwebui with access to this "ollama instance" but also OpenAIs api when i just need a quick answer and therefor don't turn on my pc.
Anna's archive would be the go to i think. You can choose the language in the sidebar.
+1 for Trackmania. Very sad that the most recent game is published by ubishit, who kind of made a live service game out of it (different tiers of access, starting at 10 bucks a year)
Better noone tell apple.
Yeah i know, i just prefer to use the distros native package manager. That said, i use the jellyfin client from flathub and that one now warns me as well that it depends on qt5.15 (works fine though, since flatpak can have multiple versions of dependencies).
Like one of the comments mentioned: there is yt-dlp for now at least.
