Not at all. Even a Raspberry Pi would do - you only need ~6GiB RAM for a 4-bit quantized LLaMA model (though it's gonna be quite slow). A decent modern desktop

What I'm wondering is how they fed the documents, as all those LLMs have limitations on the input sizes.
- yyyk 4y ago>~6GiB RAM That's for the 7B model. The 30B model needs 24GB quantized (or 64GB for the unquantized model).
- jstarfish 4y agoI've seen reports that it wrecks RPi SD cards in short order though, so beware... > What I'm wondering is how they fed the documents, as all those LLMs have limitations on the input sizes. It's like file hashing at scale, you don't have to read the whole stream for every file, just the first 1024/2048 bytes (or first few paragraphs). (This works for classification and sorting, less so for summarization.)
