Its not that cost prohibitive! You can run GPT 3.5-replacing AIs (aka 34Bs) on a $1500 PC... If you can find a used 3090 now.

We've been testing it in the local llm Discords, turns out its just a llama 7B finetune that can run on any old GPU (which is cool). https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/LargeWorldModel_LWM-Tex... https:/&#x

Its more of a tech demo since its llama 7B (a model that is, TBH, obsoleted by mistral 7B), and its dataset is not that great. We've had Yi 6B 200K context for some time, which is also quite good. The problem, of course, is hardware re

Its llama 7B, so anything that runs that. You can quantize the cache and fit quite a bit on GPUs. At least 75k on my mere 24GB 3090, maybe 200K with a fancy quantization repo.

How very reasonable. ...But the climate change problem is now social, and I think its largely a symptom of the information dysfunction that is getting worse across the globe.

Fooocus is the fastest way to try SDXL/SDXL turbo with good quality. ComfyUI is cool but very DIY. You don't get good results unless you wrap your head around all the augmentations and defaults. No idea if it will support cascade.

What's more, they can presumably be swapped in and out like the SDXL base + refiner, right?

There's more ROCm compatibility than you'd think. I'm at a startup, and we'd love to be using MI300Xs. Out stack works with it, they are amazing, our wallet is open... But we can't! We simply can't find any.

Google prices the TPUs pretty exorbitantly, actually. But they give a lot of TPU time away for research, which is nice. It seems Intel Gaudi 2 is priced in a sweeter spot, but I've never head of anyone but Intel using them.

There is a lot of silicon consumer GPUs don't "need" for AI. But on the other hand the software stack is very mature and they are heavily amortized by the huge volume, so its kinda hard to argue with. In fact its so good that

This question is confusing to me. Functionary is a series of function calling llama architecture finetuned models, not a new base model, if thats what you mean. Hence, it can be turned into a gguf like any other llama finetune. It just has

Grammar has nothing to do with gguf, as it's logit processing (and that is being integrated into other backends as well).

On the contrary, it's not one-size-fits-all. It doesn't support everything other backends need (like certain quantization schemes). If it somehow does, then its not universally compatible and that's just going to create more

Everyone uses that for openai compatible api requests. Its actually great. Most backends and frontends "just work" with each other because they all talk with openai (albeit with some caveats).
