Thanks! Great question. The seconds vary a lot on a task, model and input basis. For example, if you do something quick like text vectorisation on a couple of sentences then it is less than 100ms per call. That would be 10,000, 50,000 and 2

This is a PyTorch based library my team and I have been working on for the last few months, with the goal of making finetuning and using models as easy as possible for devs, even without extensive ML experience. We've currently got sup

Nvidia GPU support on Linux is great. I meant the lack of the support on Mac. Apps that are lacking and I frequently use off the top of my head is just Teams tbh. But, as we know, Mac has great app support. The same level of polish and avai

I have not. I use a MacBook Pro as my laptop.

That would be a dream come true (if it had Mac level app support and additionally supported Nvidia GPUs). Probably next to impossible, unfortunately.

Nice! Out of curiosity, did you build it to learn/practice the low level concepts of deep learning? If so, was it worth it?

I use PopOS as my OS on a high end PC and it is pretty good. There are some things which I find annoying, such as Bluetooth headphones going to a headset mode at the start of calls. Just tiny things. Would I pay to have a smoother experienc

You might get some really promising results with finetuning. If anything, you could build writing assistance that almost automates responses. I've been co-authoring a library that lets you finetune such models in a single line of code.

We have exposed the large GPT 2 model as an API. https://backprop.co Anyone can access it and our pricing is usage based. If you use less than 1000 seconds of inference a month then it's completely free.

That would be one incredibly expensive Q&A system. As rightly suggested by others, some search + a finetuned Q&A system is what you need. I've been building a library that makes solving tasks like conversational Q&A easy.

For better or worse that's pretty standard practice for banks. Usually a single phone call is enough to clear up the matter.
