Show HN: Example POC to run the Dolly V2 12B model in 8bit mode

I banged this out today because nobody seems to have figured this out yet (and I wanted to play with this model).

I was inspired by the fact that Simon Willison was struggling to get this running[0], so I wanted to take a crack at it!

This is by no means "clean", but it is a baseline for others to hack from. Feel free to send over PRs and I'll land them! (I'd love it somebody used this to glue this into this webui[1].)
