What does my device need to run Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B?
A browser with WebGPU — recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — and about 4.9 GB of GPU memory. The tool checks your GPU, memory and free space and tells you whether Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B fits before anything downloads.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
No. Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B runs on your own GPU inside the browser tab. The only network traffic is the one-time download of the model files from Hugging Face; your prompts and the answers never leave the device, and the chats are stored in this browser.
Which build of Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B should I choose?
Start with q4f16_1 — it is the smallest download and the fastest to run. The f32 builds are larger and use more memory, but they run on GPUs without 16-bit shader support. Builds marked 1k hold a shorter conversation in exchange for less memory.
How long a conversation can Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B hold?
Its context window is 4k tokens. Longer conversations keep working — the oldest turns are dropped with a notice when the conversation no longer fits.
What licence is Hermes 2 Theta Llama 3 8B released under?
