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!

LMStudio is pretty much the standard. I think it's opensource except for the UI. Even if you don't end up using it long-term, it's great for getting used to a lot of the models.

Otherwise there's OpenWebUI that I would imagine would work as a docker compose, as I think there's ARM images for OWU and ollama

Well they are fully closed source except for the open source project they are a wrapper on. The open source part is llama.cpp

Fair enough, but it's damn handy and simple to use. And I don't know how to do speculative decoding with ollama, which massively speeds up the models for me.

Their software is pretty nice. That's what I'd recommand to someone who doesn't want to tinker. It's just a shame they don't want to open source their software and we have to reinvent the wheel 10 times. If you are willing to tinker a bit koboldcpp + openewebui/librechat is a pretty nice combo.
