Also, a less efficient option with less “tech” would be a Silverado WT (work truck), those have a lot of range and sometimes you can find them for good used prices. Those are a hit or miss for deals because the MSRP is on the higher end.

For cheap, the 2018 and later Nissan Leafs (old tech) or an Ariya (new tech, nothing notably exciting. Maybe also check out Ioniq 5, EV6, Equinox, etc. FWIW, my wife drives a Mach-E and I drive a Fisker Ocean. The Mach-E is very comfortab

This does read/interpret a bit odd, because the Hummer H2 doesn’t strike me as a reliable vehicle and I’ve generally heard of them to be cost sinks (completely disregarding the horrible efficiency). Why not start off looking at the che

I have no doubt your intentions were good and I am a fan of open-source myself. Unfortunately, since this was written, it’s become more widely known and commonplace for large corporations to disproportionally benefit from open source. And

ik_llama is almost always faster when tuned. However, when untuned I've found them to be very similar in performance with varied results as to which will perform better. But vLLM and Sglang tend to be faster than both of those.

There is plenty that can run within 32/64/96gb VRAM. IMO models like Phi-4 are underrated for many simple tasks. Some quantized Gemma 3 are quite good as well. There are larger/better models as well, but those tend to rea

In theory, it’s only sufficient for pipeline parallel due to limited lanes and interconnect bandwidth. Generally, scalability on consumer GPUs falls off between 4-8 GPUs for most. Those running more GPUs are typically using a higher quant

At first glance, it appears to have lower negative pressure and a much higher filter surface area than most air purifiers. AFAIK PC fans are designed to move air at low pressure while quality air purifiers are designed to handle more pressu

I'm convinced it'll be in the form of emergence and it won't immediately be known when it's started. It may very well already be here, but the feedback loops are excruciatingly long and expensive.

There’s been community commentary that many of the GPT models are a tad overfitted WRT benchmarks. Benchmarks are not representative of end user experiences. That’s not to say the benchmarks aren’t useful at all, but are only useful as a

That's still very limiting when comparing to commercial models. To be truly competitive with commercial offerings the bar is closer to 4-8x that for one node . That said, maybe a quantized version of GLM 4.5 Air, but if we're talk

I wouldn't be surprised if power consumption is a starting point due to things like permitting and initial load planning. I imagine this as a subtractive process starting with the maximum energy window.

Before reading your comment I did some napkin math using 600W per GPU: 10,000,000,000 / 600 = 16,666,666.66... With varying consumption/TDP, could be significantly more, could be significantly less, but at least it gives a startin
