No, LLM text generation is generally done on GPU, as that's rhe only way to get any reasonable speed. That's why there's a specifically-made Pyg model for running on CPU. That said, one generation can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes on CPU. It's moot anyway as I only have 8GB ram.
I'm just telling you, it ran fine on my laptop with no discrete GPU 🤷 RAM seemed to be the only limiting factor. But yeah if you're stuck with 8GB, it would probably be rough. I mean it's free, so you could always give it a shot? I think it might just use your page file, which would be slow but might still produce results?
