Does that also mean 6GB VRAM?

And does that include Alpaca models like this? https://huggingface.co/elinas/alpaca-30b-lora-int4

According to https://mobile.twitter.com/JustineTunney/status/164190201019... you can probably use the conversion tools from the repo on Alpaca and get the same result.

If you want to run larger Alpaca models on a low VRAM GPU, try FlexGen. I think https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/ is one of the easier ways to get that going.

I think those specific Alpaca models are all in safetensor now and there isn't simple converter to ggml.
