Hi!
When I was using the project with a custom chat model, I realized that it uses some seconds to just spit out one word, and I realized that the program uses more than 10GB of memory at its peak, I use CPU because I don't have a GPU, could this be the reason why it's so slow?

Yes, while the custom chat model feature is experimental it currently only uses CPU when in docker. When run in development mode on the host machine it will use your CPU w/GPU acceleration if available.

If you want to use the same functionality of a local model still but leverage your underlying system you can use a tool like LocalAi for now :)
