Hi All,

I have deployed a single VM NAI lab setup. Used POC NAI License.

Even if I tried to download small model, I can create Local endpoint for the same. It looks like always ask for the accelerator (GPU).

Is there any workaround?

 I want text to text Model capability, so I can use “Talk to My Data” in NAI Labs

 

My specs are:

16 vCPU
48 GiB RAM
185 GiB storage

Hi, yes it’s possible, but it depends on the model chosen from the pre-validated model catalog. Some of them explicitly require GPU. Which model did you select?
