Darn, I was hoping to see bc-250's (aka PS5 chips) in there. They've recently become popular for inference and they are only about $200 on ebay. They hold a special place in my heart because I deployed 20k of them and I'm glad to see they are finding a purpose now and not just e-waste.
- eso_logic 3mo agoWow holy crap this is news to me! I will have to consider picking some of these up for testing, what is it like working with them?
- latchkey 3mo agothere is a discord server for fans of bc-250... lots of information there.
- Aurornis 3mo agoInteresting! I had only heard of them as cheap gaming boxes. Didn't know they were being used for cheap inference, too, but it makes sense. > They hold a special place in my heart because I deployed 20k Sounds like something I'd love to hear more about if you can share

- Scoundreller 3mo agoThis needs a blog post & HN submission
- riedel 3mo agoCool stuff. Just read: https://github.com/akandr/bc250 https://github.com/akandr/bc250
- latchkey 3mo agoYea, I'm bummed I didn't know about the 40-CU unlock, although it probably wouldn't have had much impact on mining performance. It still would have been neat to test. I did build a whole automated solution for auto-tuning each individual board. It would start at the "best" settings and then downgrade every time there was a crash. If it wasn't crashing, then those were the new "best" settings for that individual chip.
