This is the most well-maintained list of commercially usable open LLMs: https://github.com/eugeneyan/open-llms MPT, OpenLLaMA, and Falcon are probably the most generally useful. For code, Replit Code (specifically repl

In terms of speed, we're talking about 140t/s for 7B models, and 40t/s for 33B models on a 3090/4090 now.[1] (1 token ~= 0.75 word) It's quite zippy. llama.cpp performs close on Nvidia GPUs now (but they don't

While this might be somewhat applicable for Hofstadter or Tegmark, I think it doesn't applies quite the same way to Hinton. Remember, until this Spring, he's been at Google Brain and has been supervising grad students until recent

No, the Steam Deck would have never upgraded to Dragon Crest (2022 on those leaked roadmaps). In case you didn't realize, the Steam Deck wasn't released until Feb 25 2022, and only sold 1M units in 2022 (vs 3M projected in 2023).

I think it's too easy to fall into the anecdote trap, and I like the comments with study data, like the Pew Research and Line Research (sequential surveys, even better)... I also think adoption will depend on "industry." Chat

I don't think a next-gen APU for a Steam Deck 2 is going to be that big a problem. The Steam Deck's APU is officially designated: "AMD Custom APU 0405"[1], basically a mix and match of AMD's same-generation parts. W

For YouTube, I'd recommend setting up HW decoding. Depending on your distro and GPU, it can be a pain to set up, but it's much more efficient: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration Pers

Here are some high level answers: "7B" refers to the number of parameters or weights for a model. For a specific model, the versions with more parameters take more compute power to train and perform better. A foundational model is

There's also OpenLLaMA, which has a 13B version as well and is a straight drop-in (except for code generation due to multiple space tokenization: https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama#update-0615202... ).

I think you're way overestimating the power usage of modern displays. The Framework display (BOE095F) backlight based on my personal testing uses ~2.1W at 100% (440 nits) (this is as expected, you can look at datasheets on similar disp

I saw there was an answer already in your issue, although you plan on doing a lot of inferencing on your GPU, I'd highly recommend you consider dual-booting into Linux. It turns out exllama merged ROCm support last week and more than 2

Based on your followup post, I think you're confused. Binocular overlap doesn't magically give you double the perceived resolution. If it worked that way, everyone would have a way higher PPD, but it doesn't and they don'

At 90-100 degrees, a 4K/eye display will likely end up being around 35-40 PPD (pixels per degree). This is about equivalent to what a FHD display would like like (27" monitor at 60cm: https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd&#
