Catalog file for the 200 plus models of AI browser

 

Awesome let’s make a catalog file for the 200+ models.


I’ll prepare a Markdown table (easy to read, can also be converted into JSON or CSV) with the following columns:


  • Model ID (Hugging Face repo)
  • Family (LLaMA, Mistral, Falcon, etc.)
  • Parameters (e.g., 7B, 13B, 70B)
  • Type (Base / Chat / Instruct / Quantized)

📑 AI Model Catalog (200+ Models)

Here’s the starter catalog (excerpt — the full file will be large, but I’ll generate all entries if you want the full dump):

⚡ This excerpt covers just ~50 entries.

Here’s a cleaned, compressed, blog-friendly version of your large model table. I’ve grouped by Family to make it easy to read, and removed repetition while keeping all the key details (Model, Params, Type).

Popular Open-Source LLMs (Sorted by Family)

Family Models
LLaMA 2 - Llama-2-7B (Base / Chat / Quantized)
- Llama-2-13B (Base / Chat / Quantized)
- Llama-2-70B (Base / Chat / Quantized)
LLaMA 3 - Meta-Llama-3-8B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
- Meta-Llama-3-70B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
Mistral / Mixtral - Mistral-7B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
- Mixtral-8×7B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
- Mixtral-8×22B (Instruct)
Gemma (Google) - Gemma-2B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
- Gemma-7B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
Vicuna - Vicuna-7B (Chat / Quantized)
- Vicuna-13B (Chat / Quantized)
- Vicuna-33B (Chat / Quantized)
Falcon - Falcon-7B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)
- Falcon-40B (Base / Instruct / Quantized)

✅ This condensed layout avoids repetition, is scannable for blog readers, and still communicates:

  • Model Family
  • Parameter sizes
  • Types (Base / Chat / Instruct / Quantized)

The full table (200+ rows) will be long, but if readers want then they can generate it by themselves as:

  1. A Markdown file (models_catalog.md) → easy for human reading.
  2. A JSON file (models_catalog.json) → easy for programmatic use.
  3. A CSV file (models_catalog.csv) → easy for Excel/Google Sheets.
# Popular Open-Source LLMs (Sorted by Family)

| **Family** | **Parameters** | **Models / Types** |
|------------|----------------|---------------------|
| **LLaMA 2** | 7B, 13B, 70B | Base / Chat / Quantized |
| **LLaMA 3** | 8B, 70B | Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Mistral / Mixtral** | 7B, 8×7B, 8×22B | Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Gemma (Google)** | 2B, 7B | Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Vicuna** | 7B, 13B, 33B | Chat / Quantized |
| **Falcon** | 7B, 40B | Base / Instruct / Quantized |

Perfect ✅

Here’s the final ready-to-use blog table with parameters shown separately for quick comparison:

Choosing the right Large Language Model (LLM) can be tricky with so many options available. To make it easier, here’s a quick comparison of the most popular open-source LLM families. The table highlights their parameter sizes and available variants (Base, Chat, Instruct, Quantized), so you can quickly see which models fit your project’s needs.

# Popular Open-Source LLMs (Sorted by Family)

| **Family** | **Parameters** 
| **Models / Types** |
|------------|---------------
-|---------------------|
| **LLaMA 2** | 7B, 13B, 70B 
| Base / Chat / Quantized |
| **LLaMA 3** | 8B, 70B | 
Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Mistral / Mixtral** | 7B, 8×7B, 8×22B 
| Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Gemma (Google)** | 2B, 7B 
| Base / Instruct / Quantized |
| **Vicuna** | 7B, 13B, 33B | Chat / Quantized |
| **Falcon** | 7B, 40B 
| Base / Instruct / Quantized |

This way, your blog readers can instantly compare model families, parameter sizes, and available variants.

There are lots of open-source AI models out there, and it can feel overwhelming to know which one to look at. To keep things simple, here’s a handy table that shows the most popular model families, how big they are (measured in parameters like 7B or 70B), and the different versions you’ll often see — such as Base, Chat, Instruct, or Quantized.

💡 Closing Note:


Each model family has its strengths — smaller ones like Gemma-2B are light and fast, while larger ones like LLaMA-70B or Mixtral-8×22B are more powerful but resource-hungry. If you’re just experimenting, start small. For production-grade AI, explore the larger or instruct-tuned versions.

Ready-to-run Bash list with 200+ Hugging Face model IDs that you can directly plug into your downloader script.

Ready-to-run Bash list with 200+ Hugging Face model IDs


👉 The structure will be:

  • Core families (LLaMA, LLaMA-3, Mistral, Mixtral, Gemma, Falcon, Vicuna, WizardLM, Hermes, Baichuan, Pythia, StableLM, Zephyr, Phi, SmolLM, OLMo, Chronos, XGen, MPT, Cohere).
  • Variants (chat/instruct/base, different parameter sizes).
  • Quantized forks (TheBloke GGUF versions).
  • This naturally pushes us well beyond 200 unique repos.

✅ You can run it in batches (like 20–30 at a time) to avoid Hugging Face rate limits.
✅ Swap "TheBloke/...-GGUF" in when you want smaller, quantized downloads.

⚡ Now in next part i  will post on catalog file (JSON/Markdown table) with each model’s parameters, type (chat/base), quantized/not, so you have a clear index of all 200 models after download?

Starter list of 200 Hugging Face models of AI browser

 

Starter list of 200 Hugging Face models for AI browser (in a Bash-friendly array format) that you can plug directly into the script I gave earlier.

Hugging Face


👉 To keep it practical:

  • I’ve grouped by families (Llama 2, Llama 3, Mistral, Gemma, Vicuna, Mixtral, Falcon, WizardLM, StableLM, OpenHermes, Pythia, etc.).
  • Many come in different parameter sizes & finetunes — that’s how you quickly reach 200+.
  • You can start with this list and comment out any you don’t want (saves bandwidth/storage).

)

👉 This block already covers ~80 distinct repos.
When you add their quantized forks (e.g., TheBloke/xxx-GGUF versions), different parameter sizes, and finetuned versions (Alpaca, Vicuna, Hermes, Zephyr, etc.), you quickly exceed 200 models total.

Next steps

  1. Copy the above into your script.
  2. Run in chunks (e.g., 20–30 models at a time) to avoid network/timeouts.
  3. Use quantized GGUF versions whenever possible (TheBloke repos are great).
  4. Track progress in your JSON catalog (from my previous message).


All three deliverables of AI browser for complete starter kit

 

All three deliverables of AI browser so you have a complete starter kit:

  1. Ready-to-run script (bash) for downloading & quantizing Hugging Face models
  2. Hardware shopping list (GPU, storage, CPU, PSU) with approximate pricing
  3. JSON catalog template to keep track of models

1. Bash Script — Download & Quantize Models

This script assumes:

  • You have huggingface-cli installed and logged in (huggingface-cli login)
  • You have llama.cpp tools installed (quantize, convert-llama-gguf.py, etc.)
  • You’re storing models in ~/models/
#!/bin/bash
# Script: get_models.sh
# Purpose: Download + quantize multiple 
Hugging Face models for LocalAI/Ollama

# Where to store models
MODEL_DIR=~/models
mkdir -p $MODEL_DIR

# Example list of 
Hugging Face repos (add more as needed)
MODELS=(
  "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf"
  "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2"
  "google/gemma-7b"
  "TheBloke/vicuna-7B-v1.5-GGUF"
  "TheBloke/mixtral-8x7b-instruct-GGUF"
)

# Loop: download, convert, quantize
for repo in "${MODELS[@]}"; do
  echo ">>> Processing $repo"
  NAME=$(basename $repo)

  # Download from HF
  huggingface-cli repo download 
$repo --local-dir $MODEL_DIR/$NAME

  # Convert to GGUF (example 
for llama-based models)
  if [[ -f "$MODEL_DIR/$NAME/
pytorch_model.bin" ]]; then
    echo ">>> Converting $NAME to GGUF..."
    python3 convert-llama-gguf.py 
$MODEL_DIR/$NAME --outfile 
$MODEL_DIR/$NAME/model.gguf
  fi

  # Quantize (4-bit for storage efficiency)
  if [[ -f "$MODEL_DIR/$NAME/model.gguf" ]];
 then
    echo ">>> Quantizing $NAME..."
    ./quantize $MODEL_DIR/$NAME/model.gguf 
$MODEL_DIR/$NAME/model-q4.gguf Q4_0
  fi
done

echo ">>> All models processed. 
Stored in $MODEL_DIR"

👉 This script will give you ~5 models. Expand MODELS=( … ) with more Hugging Face repos until you hit 200+ total. Use quantized versions (-q4.gguf) for storage efficiency.

2. Hardware Shopping List

This setup balances cost, performance, and storage for hosting 200+ quantized models.

Component Recommendation Reason Approx. Price (USD)
GPU NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) Runs 13B models comfortably, some 70B with offload $1,600–$2,000
Alt GPU (budget) RTX 4080 (16GB) Good for 7B models, limited for 13B+ $1,000–$1,200
CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7950X / Intel i9-13900K Multi-core, helps with CPU inference when GPU idle $550–$650
RAM 64GB DDR5 Smooth multitasking + local inference $250–$300
Storage 2TB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen4) Stores ~400 quantized models (avg 4–5GB each) $120–$180
Alt storage 4TB HDD + 1TB NVMe HDD for bulk storage, SSD for active models $200–$250
PSU 1000W Gold-rated Supports GPU + CPU safely $150–$200
Cooling 360mm AIO liquid cooler Keeps CPU stable under long inference $150–$200
Case Mid/full tower ATX Good airflow for GPU + cooling $120–$180

👉 If you don’t want to buy hardware: Cloud option — rent an NVIDIA A100 (80GB) VM (~$3–$5/hour). For batch evaluation of hundreds of models, it’s cheaper to spin up a VM for a day and shut it down.

3. JSON Catalog Template (Track 200+ Models)

This catalog helps you track local + hosted models, their paths, and notes.

{
  "models": [
    {
      "name": "Llama-2-7B-Chat",
      "provider": "Local",
      "path": "~/models/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf/
model-q4.gguf",
      "size_gb": 3.8,
      "type": "Chat/General",
      "strengths": "Conversational,
 general Q&A",
      "weaknesses": "Limited reasoning depth"
    },
    {
      "name": "Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2",
      "provider": "Local",
      "path": "~/models/
Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2/
model-q4.gguf",
      "size_gb": 4.1,
      "type": "Instruction-following",
      "strengths": "Fast, reliable 
instructions",
      "weaknesses": "Less creative generation"
    },
    {
      "name": "GPT-4o",
      "provider": "OpenAI API",
      "path": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
      "size_gb": null,
      "type": "Hosted",
      "strengths": "Advanced reasoning, 
multimodal",
      "weaknesses": "Token cost, API dependency"
    },
    {
      "name": "Claude 3.5",
      "provider": "Anthropic API",
      "path": "https://api.anthropic.com/v1",
      "size_gb": null,
      "type": "Hosted",
      "strengths": "Strong long-context 
reasoning",
      "weaknesses": "Subscription required"
    }
  ]
}

👉 Add entries as you download/quantize models or add hosted endpoints. This makes it easy to see at a glance how many total models you have (local + hosted), their size, and their strengths.

✅ With these 3 components, you now have:

  • A script to build your own 200+ model library
  • A hardware plan to run them effectively
  • A catalog system to stay organized
