I’ve been playing with the largest models I can get running and have been using Librewolf or Firefox, but these use several gigabytes of system memory. What options exist that have less overhead? I’m mostly looking at maximizing the model training potential as I’m learning. The obvious solution is python in a terminal, but I need a hiking trail not free solo rock climbing.

    Absolutely right. I just tried it on the browsers installed on my system, loading this page:

    Firefox: 560MiB
    Epiphany (GNOME Web): 226MiB
    elinks: 16MiB
    lynx: 14MiB

    Looks like lynx is the winner

    (Sidenote: This isn’t really a fair fight for Firefox since it’s my daily driver, with extensions installed and a bunch of stuff cached. I’m guessing even a fresh install wouldn’t get below 300MiB, though)
