Wondering about services to test on either a 16gb ram "AI Capable" arm64 board or on a laptop with modern rtx. Only looking for open source options, but curious to hear what people say. Cheers!

There are some experimental models made specifically for use with Home Assistant, for example home-llm.

Even though they are tiny 1-3B I've found them to work much better than even 14B general purpose models. Obviously they suck for general purpose questions just by their size alone.

That being said they're still LLMs. I like to keep the "prefer handling commands locally" option turned on and only use the LLM as a fallback.
