Haven't done this yet, but this is a source I saved in response to a similar question a while back.
While this will get you a selfhosted LLM it is not possible to feed data to them like this. As far as I know there are a 2 possibilities:
Take an existing model and use the literature data to fine tune the model. The success of this will depend on how much "a lot" means when it comes to the literature
Create a model yourself using only your literature data
Both approaches will require some yrogramming knowledge and understanding of how a llm works. Additionally it will require a preparation of the unstructured literature data to a kind of structured data that can be used to train or fine tune the model.
Im just a CS student so not an expert in this regard ;)
Thx for this comment.
My main drive for self hosting is to escape data harvesting and arbitrary query limits, and to say, "I did this." I fully expect it to be painful and not very fulfilling...
