I watched Huang's Computex presentation and was pretty impressed by the hardware they're launching, but it's worth noting some caveats. While it was announced to be in "full production," according to the blog post,

The more VRAM the better if you'd like to run larger LLMs. Old Nvidia P40 (Pascal 24GB) cards are easily available for $200 or less and would be easy/cheap to play. Here's a recent writeup on the LLM performance you can expec

There's a method (speed running glitch) to get the master sword w/o the heart requirement. Do a search for "botw get the master sword early" and you should have lots of step by steps if you ever want to do it.

It does have the same system so I guess you should return it/cancel your order. Like BOTW, even from the very beginning of the game, you never run out of weapons/always have more weapons than slots, so for anyone else, I'd re

I've seen reports of people being able to run LLMs at decent speeds on old Nvidia P40s. These are 24GB Pascal GPUs and can be bought for as low as $100 (although more commonly $200) on eBay.

Although there are multiple bottlenecks, my understanding (and why at a certain point, throwing more threads doesn't work) is that inference for dense LLMs are largely limited by memory bandwidth. Most desktop computers will have dual

While I agree we probably aren't getting exponentially increasing parameter counts (GPT4 is by all accounts 1T paramaters and of course, it is significantly better than GPT3) we are still seeing lots of improvements - 3.5 is much bet

I'm still on the waitlist for GPT-4 API access. Note, that text-davinci-003 cost about $90 to benchmark at $0.02/1K tokens, so if you're able to use a GPT-4 model (for completion and not just instruction) that'll probabl

Yes, you can run inference at decent speeds on CPU with llama.cpp. A token is about 0.75/words, so you can see lots of people getting 4-8 words/s on their CPUs: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issu
