I suspect that the lack of CUDA is a dealbreaker for too many people when it comes to AMD, with the recent explosion in machine learning.

I've been told the 4 bit quantization slows it down, but don't quote me on this since I was unable to benchmark at 8 bit locally In any case, you're right it might not be as significant, however, the quality of the output inc

Exactly, we're just below that sweet spot right now. For example on 24GB, Llama 30B runs only in 4bit mode and very slowly, but I can imagine a RLHF finetuned 30B or 65B version running in at least 8bit would be actually useful, and yo

Please give us consumer cards with more than 24GB VRAM, Nvidia. It was a slap in the face when the 4090 had the same memory capacity as the 3090. A6000 is 5000 dollars, ain't no hobbyist at home paying for that.

Faking the image quality through software is becoming more powerful than actually taking a good image, and people don't seem to care if the pixels on the screen are really what the optics saw. They just want to take a pretty photo, and

It's quite noticeable actually, and it adds up, it's not just an extra 20ms. For casual gamers and turn based games maybe it could work, as a niche. For FPS, multiplayer, ARPG, and so on, it's a dealbreaker, anything over 100

What's with all the sensationalist doom and gloom? The job market is still really strong, and Amazon for example hired 300k people from 2020 to 2021. These layoffs are a drop in the bucket, happening at Big Tech mostly. Corporate profi

The 32GB and 64GB SanDisk variants are actually cheaper on Amazon than the 16GB one. Yes, the advertising is misleading, but OP could've saved money and quadrupled his space if he wanted to.
