I built a simple, asynchronous, serialized API on top of llama.cpp for exactly this reason. https://github.com/edfletcher/llama.http/tree/master/example... It can run on low-resource VPSes even, if you h

Given that a large portion of this spend is currently covered by expiring (in less-than-a-year) one-time credits, it's really not representative of what it claims to be and is therefore quite disingenuous & misleading.

Simple & straightforward, it's a quick spare-time project designed to enable automation and not as a standalone way to publicly host the models (no rate limiting, persistence or auth). The project README is here: https:/&#x2F

There is one, galaxy-sized, deal-breaking issue with any used laptop: you can never clean them thoroughly enough. I'll leave it at that.

This is a bang-up idea, you absolutely love to see capital investment on this type of open, commodity-hardware-focused foundational technology. Rock on GGMLers & thank you!

This whole series is one of the best of that era, I don't understand why it is lauded more often. Vinge clearly has a mind for the future like none other. His "computer programmer-archeologist" idea has lived rent-free in my

It doesn't "know" what words are, only tokens. Use this tool ( https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer ) to see how it tokenizes and note clearly that it does not always do so on word boundaries. "Including&

Very simple, designed to enable automation and not as a standalone way to publicly host the models (no rate limiting, persistence or auth). Hope it's useful to folks nonetheless!

The entire argument here rests on a supposition in the middle: "because if GPT is just a Chinese room it shouldn’t be able to do this." "Shouldn't". According to whom? Where is the source? I would posit it should

You can never know for sure. I only regretted quitting my first major job many years later after life had illustrated why it would've been better to stay. You just have to trust your instincts or take a leap of faith. Good luck.

"ChatGPT will change everything!" Everything?! This kind of hyperbole is rampant in writing on these technologies and seeing it should instantly clue you into the fact that the rest of the writing is not objective. And sure enou

This is a great blog post. Concise, lacking fluff or extraneous prose, it gets right to the point, presents the primary-source reference and then gets right to the solution. A bit of editorializing in the middle but that's completely a

I worked at LANL for awhile. Los Alamos is beautiful, northern New Mexico is lovely, but lab work is 99% bureaucracy. This was years ago but I needed 8 separate signatures to bring an iPod classic into a non-classified building. Insanity.
