Hey, everybody, I’m a newbie. Yesterday I installed a phi3 model locally (it is extremely slow, as I don’t have access to my main device and have to use a weaker device). This model is very slow as the device is not very powerful. I want to clarify if it is possible to interact with the models through a free api. I looked through the article about Influence api (there was something about the Transformers library), but I don’t quite understand, do I also need to install the model locally?
