I’d like to self host a large language model, LLM.

I don’t mind if I need a GPU and all that, at least it will be running on my own hardware, and probably even cheaper than the $20 everyone is charging per month.

What LLMs are you self hosting? And what are you using to do it?

    If you need to serve only one user at the time, ollama +Webui works great. If you need multiple users at the same time, check out vLLM.

    Why can’t it serve multiple users? Open Web UI seems to support multiple users.

      I didn’t say it can’t. But I’m not sure how well it is optimized for it. From my initial testing it queues queries and submits them one after another to the model, I have not seen it batch compute the queries, but maybe it’s a setup thing on my side. vLLM on the other hand is designed specifically for the multi co current user use case and has multiple optimizations for it.
