Maybe I oversold the fun-ness of it. The most common failure mode is that it goes into loops and you come back to find it exhausted the output length without getting anywhere.

That’s the size of the model. Running it requires additional space for the KV cache depending on how much context you use. You can probably get it running in 8GB of RAM for short outputs but to get okay context length you’d want more.

Person 1 finds an exploit the old fashioned way. Keeps it secret because they’re doing some PS5 Linux work and want to keep it unpatched until GTA6 releases in 2 weeks. I don’t have a PS5 but I assume new games might require a firmware upda
