Running Falcon 180B on Vast

Falcon 180B, developed by the Technology Innovation Institute, is a large language model trained on over 3 trillion tokens, utilizing 180 billion neural network parameters, requiring substantial GPU RAM and computing power to operate. Vast.ai offers a solution by providing rentable GPU power necessary for running such immense models. The process of deploying Falcon 180B involves using the Web UI to select a template, allocate storage, rent an appropriate machine, download, and load the model, before interacting with it through a chat interface. Alternatively, the model can be run using SSH by setting up access, selecting a template, renting a machine, connecting via SSH, and executing Python code. The guide details step-by-step instructions for both methods, emphasizing the importance of balancing GPU VRAM and model quality.
