Old CPU / No GPU / Ollama Language Model?
-
Sadly there's currently no substitute for RAM or VRAM.
My Mac silicon chip laptop does an ok-ish job with 24Gb RAM (integrated CPU/GPU memory model)
But mostly I just accept defeat and use Ollama Cloud models (or Venice T2EE cloud models). -
I tried something like this in my 14 year old CPU
It's still writing out the joke . I also have only 16GB RAM to give. -
@robi Can it tell jokes?
I had to find out!
You be the judge:Tell us a quick joke about a chicken
Why don't chicken birds fly?

Because they are too small.
@LoudLemur of course it can and at 200 tok/sec no less.
It's just makes a lot of mistakes. Had trouble tool calling and web access

Qwen didn't tell us a joke, it just started thinking about which chicken joke to tell us.

We looked at its thinking and it had created and considered over 200 chicken jokes before we decided the best thing to do was ... not wait for it!
We wish we had left it running to find out which joke it would have eventually chosen for us!

Why did the AI engine search for a chicken joke ?
Because it was looking for poultry in motion!

Sure! Here's a clucktastic one:
Why did the chicken join a band?
To learn how to make some "eggcellent" beats!
