But then you can use CPU/RAM offload, which already allows you to offload without a kernel module.

This is really interesting engineering, but I agree with the other commentators that the benchmarking makes it hard to understand the contribution various factors are having. The ExLlamaV3 EXL3 2bpw (8 GB, full VRAM) row is an order of ma

I don't think RAG is dead, and I don't think NFTs have any use and think that they are completely dead. But the OP's blog is more about ZK than about NFTs, and crypto is the only place funding work on ZK. It's kind of a

The 0.8B can do this pretty well. Actually pg's original "A plan for spam" explains how to do this with a Bayesian classifier.

/security-review really is pretty good. But your codebase is unique. Slop in one codebase is very dangerous in another.

Read the linked report - it discusses this. The short answer is that it's possible if the prompt has sufficient control but only the parts controlled by the human are eligible for copyright. Using AI doesn't automatically disquali

This oversimplifies it. You can't copyright a work that is only generated by a machine: "In February 2022, the Copyright Office’s Review Board issued a final decision affirming the refusal to register a work claimed to be genera

I hadn't seen Panoramax before, but I'm finding exploring it frustrating. If I look at Melbourne I see there is some data: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=map&map=5.99/-37.126/147.65... But if I zoo

This is a pretty interesting report. The TL;DR is that there is little measurable impact (and I'd personally add "yet"). To quote: "We find no systematic increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since late 202

No, we are literally trying to find a use case where using a lower accuracy LLM makes sense for a vision task. But fine - what are these industrial processes where that prioritize latency over reliability and using a LLM - as mentioned by

There is no way you can diagnose this like that. Correlation isn't causation and much more likely is a common source of reinforcement training data.

Yes I agree. I have an M1 Max like the author of this piece and recently upgraded. It's fine. I don't like the look of it much and the drag targets are annoying but other than that it's been completely normal.

Model distillation is very useful! Put it like this: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is useful with hundreds of examples, and LLM distillation is basically the same thing.

Strix Halo machines are a good option too if you are at all price sensitive. AMD (with all the downsides of that for AI work) but people are getting decent performance from them. Also Nvidia Spark.
