Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Approach hardwires model weights into transistors, and uses older 6nm process. Targetting 70b model sizes (presumably 16 bit) by year end. It should cost much less than a 140gb card. but I don't know details.

Oh cool, a whole new e-waste industry. Anyone want this old gpt4.1 chip? I know the latest is GPT-8 and the whole ecosystem has largely moved on in a way that renders most software incompatible, but hey, it's right here on this PCI-E card so you can't stick it in a Raspberry Pi either!

No? Guess I'll chuck it in the landfill!

It's a good point that newer better models are released frequently. Perhaps especially among the open ones.
