Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Is Arli AI a legit cloud LLM inference service? Any user experience? (palaver.p3x.de)

I just found https://www.arliai.com/ who offer LLM inference for quite cheap. Without rate-limits and unlimited token generation. No-logging policy and they have an OpenAI compatible API.

I've been using runpod.io previously but that's a whole different service as they sell compute and the customers have to build their own Docker images and run them in their cloud, by the hour/second.

Should I switch to ArliAI? Does anyone have some experience with them? Or can recommend another nice inference service? I still refuse to pay $1.000 for a GPU and then also pay for electricity when I can use some $5/month cloud service and it'd last me 16 years before I reach the price of buying a decent GPU...

Edit: Saw their $5 tier only includes models up to 12B parameters, so I'm not sure anymore. For larger models I'd need to pay close to what other inference services cost.

Edit2: I discarded the idea. 7B parameter models and one 12B one is a bit small to pay for. I can do that at home thanks to llama.cpp

Thanks. I'll try lmsys, but ultimately I do mind privacy. But I also fool around.

Yeah, I know about AMD GPUs. Nvidia has quite a monopoly on AI and as everyone uses their hardware and software frameworks, that's what's supported best. At least currently. My predicion is: that's about to change. But their competitors didn't do a great job. But I've been annoyed with Nvidia's stupid Linux drivers for so long, (I mean that also changed,) but I'd like to give my money to someone else, and swallow that pill. If I decide to do it anyways.

Thanks for the info. I think I can do something with that. Mistral-Nemo is pretty awesome for its size. Intelligent, can write prose, dialogue or answer questions, it's completely uncensored out of the box...
