FAQs

What are the memory requirements for running LLaMA models with Dalai?

Dalai supports various LLaMA model sizes, each with different memory needs. For example, a 7B model requires approximately 4 GB of RAM, while a 65B model needs around 32 GB. Alpaca models have similar requirements, with 7B needing 4.21GB and 13B needing 8.14GB.

How much disk space is needed for Dalai models?

Disk space varies significantly by model. For LLaMA, a 7B full model requires 31.17GB, but its quantized version is only 4.21GB. Larger models like 65B can take up to 432.64GB for the full version, or 40.88GB quantized. Alpaca models are generally smaller, with 7B at 4.21GB.

Can I use Dalai programmatically in my applications?

Yes, Dalai is available as an NPM package and offers both JavaScript and Socket.io APIs. This allows developers to programmatically install models, make requests to models, and even run or connect to a Dalai server from their own Node.js or web applications.
