Upon accessing the Olama site, you'll encounter various AI models available for use. These models are characterized by the number of parameters they have, such as 1.5b, 7B, and up to 671b. The higher the parameters, the more powerful the AI model, analogous to having more neurons in a human brain contributing to its processing capacity.
However, with greater power comes greater responsibility. High-parameter models often require more robust computer specifications to function effectively.
Choosing the Right Model
For casual use, it is advisable to start with lighter models. For instance, the model with 1.5 billion parameters is generally adequate for generating text, brainstorming ideas, or answering questions.
