The community member is asking how to use the LLama2 model, specifically whether they need to host the model themselves or if there are services that already host open-source models. The comments suggest that the community member can try using HuggingFace or Replicate, which are services that provide access to open-source language models like LLama2. The comments explain that the community member would need to get an API key to use these services, and provide example integrations for using LLama2 with Replicate and HuggingFace. The comments also describe Replicate as an inference service for large language models, which can be used to query open-source models instead of using a service like OpenAI.
How will I do that for llama2, will I have to first host my llama2 model somewhere, are there no services out there that already hosts open source models, so I can just use their API
so instead of hitting openai's API for example to query an LLM, you can use replicate in similar ways to query an open-sourced LLM of your choosing (by providing a model name to any of the models they support)
