Would be good if the readme mentions minimum hardware specs to get a reasonably decent performance. E.g. I have a ThinkPad X1 extreme i7 with MaxQ graphics, any hopes of running this on it without completely ruining the performance?



You could run the LLM using your CPU and normal (non video) ram. But that's a lot slower. There are people working on making it a lot faster tho. The bottleneck is the transfer speed between the ram Sticks and the CPU.

Just taking a guess, but I wouldn't expect more than a couple tokens (more or less like syllables) per second. Which is probably to slow, since it has to read a couple thousand per search result.

It's hard to provide minimum requirements, since there are so many edge cases.
