Run any AI model remotely for free on google colab

[@FilipeBento]

Great stuff!!
Ngrok is now asking for auth -- solved this by adding
await asyncio.gather(
run_process(['ngrok', 'config', 'add-authtoken',''])
)
before:
await asyncio.gather(
run_process(['ollama', 'serve']),
run_process(['ngrok', 'http', '--log', 'stderr', '11434']),
)

[@lamechemohh9113]

please i use windows how to use ngrok with him?

[@FilipeBento]

@@lamechemohh9113 you mean Ollama? You will need to run WSL2 (if you have any Win version that is not the Home edition).

[@techwithmarco]

Thanks a lot for adding this! Just pinned the comment

[@techwithmarco]

and by the way, I updated the github repository to reflect your proposals :)

[@d3mist0clesgee12]

great stuff bro, keep them coming, thanks again.

[@techwithmarco]

Thanks! I will :)

[@SethuIyer95]

Thank you so much. I was killing my Intel mac with the LLM questions xD. This gives a good rest for it.

[@techwithmarco]

Perfect!

Wonderful video!!

Thank you!

[@iamderrickfoo]

This is awesome stuff! Would like to know after this up can we connect this to Webui or Anythingllm?

[@thoufeekbaber8597]

Thank you.
I could run this succesfully in the terminal, but how can access the model or the collab through jupyter notebook instance?

[@renega991]

Hi amazing stuff!
Is there a way to connect the ngrok to jupyter notebook? Thanks!

[@mellio19]

but can't run stable diffusion this way?

[@bennguyen1313]

I imagine it's costly to run LLMs.. is there a limit on how much Google Colab will do for free?
I'm interested in creating a Python application that uses AI.. from what I've read, I could use ChatGPT4 Assistant API and I as the developer would incur the cost whenever the app is used.
Alternatively, I could host a model like Ollama, on my own computer or on the cloud (beam cloud/ Replicate/Streamlit/replit)?
As a 3rd option, could Google Colab work in my situation? Is OpenAI's Assistant API totally different from the API to programmatically interact with llama2 , mistral , etc?

[@asdfg1346on]

can such a llm model be used in a web app not just in a terminal locally and how?

[@jameschan6277]

Please help if I use windows PC desktop, how can I open terminals like MAC?

[@pathsvivi]

Thanks for the video. One question though, how can I avoid downloading the language models every time I run Colab notebook? Can I save Ollama and its models in Google drive and retrieve them when running the notebook?

[@user-em7se7bm7v]

awesome man

[@AfnanQasim-wk8nq]

canw e load 70B model with this same technque ?

[@DCS-um9oc]

i got windows machine, do i need ollama locally tooo?

[@jeffsanaraujo]

That’s a fantastic video! Do you know if Ollama has OpenAI API compliant endpoints? So we could use Google Colab as a “Backend-as-a-Service” for some time in our chatbots :) One way I saw people doing is to create a long audio (like 12 hours of audio), loading it in the Google colab, and giving it a play, it’s a silence audio. It seems to work to keep the session opened for more time.

[@techwithmarco]

There is currently an issue at the ollama gh project, so feel free to check that out and track the progress :)

And good tip with the audio sound, never thought of that ... 😄

I have win 10. How can I start the model?

[@mobilesales4696]

Tell me how can I add Tele-FLM-1T local llm model but directly install in Google colab and how host on server using Google colab and how can I put those address in any framework I mean how to configure it plz plz kindly tell me instructions plz I

The model is downloading on colab or locally?
Also can u plz tell what command changes will be there if we are using windows terminal?

[@techwithmarco]

The model is being downloaded on the remote machine (colab)
The commands stay the same, if you use WSL2 on windows with ollama.

[@Codescord]

can we just make it as api end point and create good frontend on top of it?

[@techwithmarco]

Yes, kind of. The url which is getting exposed via ngrok, it is also usable as url in front ends especially built for ollama.ai
Check out my other ollama linked video, there I show how to start up a front end for that. (Last section)

[@Shivam-bi5uo]

how do i save the progress, because everytime i run it, it downloads the model all from the start?

[@lewybagz]

use your google drive bro, pay for 100gb. its worth it if you're an ai guy

[@CharlesDubois-f7p]

How can I make this work with the ollama library in a python script? This works well when typing the prompts directly in the terminal, but my script still seems to run on my local instance.

[@CharlesDubois-f7p]

For anyone running into the same issue, I figured it out. I had to set the environement variable in the script with os.environ["OLLAMA_HOST"] = ngrok_url BEFORE importing ollama

[@aryanflory]

hey, how to the export step on windows?
I have the ollama installed

[@biological-machine]

just use "set OLLAMA_PATH=the_url"

[@MultiverseMayhemtoyou]

This is Fire Can you help me connect open Interpretur Like this with So I can Give access to my computer But it wont load my PC that much

[@py_man]

You can

[@attilavass6935]

How can we keep our downloaded LLMs permanently, eg. on a mounted Google Drive?
It would speed up the start of inference in a new ollama server start.

[@techwithmarco]

Yes, that's a brilliant idea! You can save those in google drive with this snippet for example:
import os
# Mount Google Drive
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
# Create a folder in the root directory
!mkdir -p "/content/drive/My Drive/My Folder"
# Start Ollama with a path where models are stored
OLLAMA_MODELS=/content/drive/My Drive/My Folder ollama serve

Good do you have idea to benmarch mixtral on colab ?

[@techwithmarco]

No sorry
I am not that deep into AI stuff so that I know how to benchmark the performance 🥲

[@khushalsharma2031]

Thanks for the video. You mentioned disconnecting the runtime. So I am assuming google will itself shut the running notebook in few hours. Do you know for how many hours continuously we can run this?

[@techwithmarco]

I just googled because I did not know, but apparently 90 minutes if you do not interact, or absolute 12 hours

[@khushalsharma2031]

@@techwithmarco so if we leave the server running colab tab ideal. I am assuming it will auto shut in 90 minutes.

[@techwithmarco]

Honestly I am not sure because I haven't used it for that long in one run.
I would assume it will be up for 12 hours because the tunnel is working in the background and the jupyter notebook is still running :)

[@clashgamers4072]

It will ask for are you a robot? captcha if you're inactive for a while , you could write a small javascript fn in browser to randomly click some ui elements but yeah 12 hours is the hardlimit after that you can't connect to a GPU instance for another day or so

[@lamechemohh9113]

Please what about windows user?

[@techwithmarco]

You can use ollama with WSL2, it is not available yet in windows

I think it depends on the terminal and shell you are using. Are you using the standard windows terminal?
