Unleashing the Power of AI: Running Large Language Models on Your Own Cloud Server (Digital Ocean)

Running large language models (LLMs) on your own cloud server using DigitalOcean Droplets provides several advantages like control, privacy, customization, and cost-effectiveness.
To set up your cloud server, create a DigitalOcean account, choose a Droplet configuration, select appropriate resources, set up authentication, and launch your Droplet.
Install Ollama, an easy-to-use framework for running LLMs, by executing a curl command. You can then run LLMs with Ollama, interact with the models by typing prompts, and even run Ollama as a server using a process manager like PM2.

Anthropic’s Claude: How to use the impressive ChatGPT rival

Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet has proven more than a match for Gemini and ChatGPT across several industry benchmarks.
Anthropic’s Claude is a large language model trained to adhere to a 73-point "Constitutional AI" framework.
Claude excels in coding, math, and complex reasoning tasks, besides deciphering text from blurry photos and identifying graphs.
Its constitutional architecture makes it more accurate in providing verifiable and reproducible responses.
Claude offers real-time collaboration via the Artifacts feature and can emulate keyboard and mouse inputs, besides interacting directly with other desktop apps.
It is free on the Anthropic website, as well as the Claude Android and iOS apps.
Anthropic’s $20-a-month Pro plan offers higher usage limits, access to Claude 3 Opus and Haiku, and the Projects feature.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet has a larger context window than ChatGPT (200,000 characters versus 128,000).
However, Claude does not have an equivalent to OpenAI’s Advanced Voice Mode or generate images, both of which ChatGPT does.
Anthropic was accused of using a dataset of 173,536 YouTube video subtitles scraped from more than 48,000 channels to train their large language models.
