Why Janitor AI Needs Models

  • Janitor AI is an interface.
  • It does not generate text by itself.
  • It connects with models like LLaMA, GPT, or Falcon.
  • The model does the “thinking.”
  • Janitor AI gives you characters, memory, and roleplay tools.
  • All the characters are created by these models.

1. LLaMA 2 (Free)

  • Made by Meta (Facebook).
  • Open-source and free.
  • Comes in sizes: 7B, 13B, and 70B parameters.
  • Strong at roleplay and storytelling.
  • Can run on local PCs with a GPU or on Google Colab
  • Works with Janitor AI through Kobold AI or API.
  • It makes Janitor’s response realistic and coherent.

Function Of Kobold AI With Janitor AI

  • Kobold AI provides extra features to janitor AI, like storytelling and story writing. It also acts as a Middleware or bridge that connects the Janitor with a backend Model like LLaMA 2.

Note

  • Janitor AI doesn’t generate responses on its own. It is just a UI that collects your input.

Best for

  • Free users who want realistic chats and long roleplays.

2. Mistral 7B (Free)

  • It is an open-source model made by Mistral AI.
  • Small but powerful.
  • Free to use.
  • Fast and lightweight means it operates with 7 billion numbers (parameters)

Hardware Requirement

  • Mid-range GPU or cloud service.

Best for

  • Fast replies and low hardware cost.

3. Falcon 40B (Free)

  • Falcon 40B was developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII).
  • It’s completely open-source, allowing anyone to use it.
  • With 40 billion parameters, it’s one of the larger free models available.
  • Compared to smaller models like Mistral 7B, it runs more slowly, but the trade-off is better performance and more detailed answers.
  • The large size means it needs to handle a huge amount of data, which makes it heavier to run and requires a capable PC or a cloud server.

What the size means in practice

The 40B parameters allow Falcon to:

  • Understand complex writing styles.
  • Keep track of longer conversations.
  • Produce well-structured and detailed responses.
  • Because of this, it’s popular for
    • creative writing,
    • branching stories, and roleplay.

Hardware Requirements 

  • GPU: 40GB VRAM (NVIDIA A100).
  • RAM:64GB
  • Memory:200–250GB.
  • Prefer cloud platforms if your PC can’t handle it.

Best for

  • Users who want depth in roleplay and are okay with slower responses in exchange for richer conversations.

4. GPT-J 6B (Free)

  • Older model, but still useful.
  • Open-source and free.
  • 6B parameters.
  • Lightweight compared to Falcon 40 B.
  • Can run on consumer GPUs.
  • Supports basic roleplay and story prompts.

Hardware Requirement

  • GPU / VRAM:- 11-12 GB
  • System RAM:- 32 GB
  • Storage:- 25 GB free disk space to store model files

Trick For Low VRAm (4-5 GB)

  • As you know, GPT-J 6B requires 12 GB VRAM to run smoothly.
  • And you have only 4-5 GB VRAM. There are community tools available that let you run GPT-J 6B with low VRAM.
  • But the drawback is slow performance.

GPT-6B And Falcon 40B Comparison

Feature GPT-6B (lightweight) Falcon-40B (heavyweight)
1. Parameters 6 billion 40 billion
2.VRAM(FP16) 12-14 GB 80 GB
3.VRAM(4 bit quant) 8 GB 48-60 GB
4.Model size(disk) 12-15 GB 90-100 GB
5. Speed Fast on user GPUs Slow without server GPUs
6. Hardware needed Mid-range GPU (RTX 3060/3070) Multi GPU setup or enterprise GPU(A100, H100)
7. Output quality Basic, good for casual chat and roleplay High, strong reasoning and coherence

5. GPT-4 (Paid)

  • Built by OpenAI.
  • Very powerful and accurate.
  • It runs on heavy server-grade hardware.
  • GPT-4 is slower in raw speed than lightweight models like GPT-J 6 B.
  • It delivers high accuracy, reasoning, and coherence
  • Architectural upgrades make it faster and more reliable.
  • It processes more than 175 B parameters
  • Paid access through the OpenAI API.
    1. Usage-based rates via API
  • Handles roleplay, reasoning, and long context.
  • Works with Janitor AI via API connection.
  • Has the best quality text generation.
  • Used to solve advanced problems.

Hardware Requirement

  • No, VRAM and GPU required. Because in GPT-4, heavy processing is done in the cloud.
  • Runs normally on PC, laptops, tablets, and phones.
  • The only requirement is a stable internet connection
