I'm currently running a Discord bot with a 7B model off a free Oracle Ampere instance with their Pytorch Accelerated[0] image. It's not terribly fast, but totally usable for group chats that want to interrogate an AI. If you're doing some sort of offline processing or non-time-imperative operation, something like this might be worth looking into.

Does that use all 4 OCPUs / 24GB memory?

It can! I'm using 2 cores per request though, and I've got memory to spare.

Oracles free forever tier is so underrated. They just throw half a startup at you at no cost.

They also shutdown your instances after a while and ask you to upgrade to paid tier.
