Just spotted this link. Just to clarify, I (not the original poster, although everyone's welcome to share this link, it's a public doc) maintain this list (and the rest of the sheet) manually. While I keep the foundation models th

llama.cpp probably won't be getting Jamba support anytime soon: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/6372#issuecomm... There is an MLX Mamba implementation, but nothing for Jamba either: https:

For anyone that doesn't need the highest performance and where efficiency is super important, I can recommend the current generation of mini PCs/NUCs that run mobile chips. Last summer I picked up Ryzen 7 7940HS-based mini PC that

While the G series (basically mobile chips) do idle a lot lower, here's a chart that shows that Ryzen chips idle at about the same (a few watts less actually, but negligible) than their Intel high-end desktop counterparts: https:/

There have been updates on core parking ("Game mode") in Windows so it's probably fine, but I think for max perf, people are still using Process Lasso (I don't use a mixed X3D chip myself, so I haven't paid super cl

Largely yes, but the 7800X3D ($370->$300 on sale, 120W TDP) still beats the 14900KS since the extra L3 cache is more important than clock for most games: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900ks/

Claude 3 is very capable, but it is (likely) a 1T class model, not something that can be run on the edge, while 7B class models can already be run on phones and can be easily fine-tuned to do specialized work that can perform comparably to

I’d highly recommend anyone considering trying one out to give it a pin. I’ve used a CGM multiple times besides being a great feedback mechanism, it also can give you really interesting insights. Here’s one interesting tidbit showing that h

Someone got ZLUDA running llama.cpp a while back (search the ZLUDA/llama.cpp issues). If I recall, it ran about half the speed of the existing ROCm implementation. I tried ROCm on my iGPU last year and you do get a bit of a benefit for

I have a similar system. When idle, nvtop reports about 11-12W/4090. When doing bs=1 inference, the default PL for my cards is 450W each, although I've found that I can keep 97% of prefill and 99%+ of inference performance lowerin

You can run a Q4 quant of a 70B model in about 40GB of RAM (+context). You're single user (batch size 1, bs=1) inference speed will be basically memory bottlenecked, so on a dual channel dedicated box you'd expect somewhere about

Just an FYI, Mixtral is a Sparse Mixture of Experts that has 47B parameters for memory costs (but 13B active parameters per token). For those interested in reading more about how it works: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.040

Well, you probably read a inaccurate headline about it. The project is called ZLUDA https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA and it had a recent public update because of the opposite - AMD decide not to continue sponsoring wor

If you are running a local LLM already (which no one in the "general public is") then the bar is really not that much higher for fine-tuning (either for an individual or community member to do). And you don't need any additio

For macOS and Linux, Ollama is probably the easiest way to try Mixtral (and a large number of models) locally. LM Studio is also nice and available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. As these models can be quite large and memory intensive, if you

My understanding is that Mistral uses a regular 4K RoPE that is "extends" the window size with SWA. This is based on looking at the results of Nous Research's Yarn-Mistral extension: https://huggingface.co/Nou

Yes, I think "predecessor" is a more apt term than competitor. AGP was introduced in 1997 and was pretty ubiquitous for almost a decade. While the first PCIe graphics cards started coming out around 2004, AGP cards continued to be

Most LoRAs are less effective for facts since changes largely shift attention (Q and K, not V layers) and only touch a tiny percentage of weights at that, however full fine-tunes on models are pretty effective for introducing new facts (y

Sure, I think their quant format is pretty basic, something similar to bnb q4 - my plan will to be scripting a framework for testing, so should do that as well since the omniquant implementation is in mlc-llm anyways.
