<p>We use vLLM to run models, currently full f16 safetensors. We make sure to use a virtualenv to hold the dependencies.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> For Hermes, we use an FP8 quant by adamo1139 (adamo1139/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B-FP8-Dynamic), which is optimized for 4090 and 3090 GPUs.</p>
<p>We are considering supporting ollama for better quant support.</p>
