I am running GPT-J-6B inference on 13GB of VRAM. FP16 is a must at this scale. I've also loaded GPT-NeoX-20B using int8 quantization onto a single RTX 3090 before (24GB VRAM) however inference latency was quite high.

I feel it heavily depends on the modem. I used to have a Pixel 5a, which has an SoC (Snapdragon 765G) that was released during the late stages of the transition from LTE to 5G. On that phone, 5G was a terrible experience and my data wouldn&

It's not Nvidia + Linux that sucks, it's Nvidia + Linux on a desktop. CUDA thrives on Linux. Most AI SaaS runs on Nvidia + Linux (if it isn't on a TPU or alike)

Not quite squared. The hashrate of the rest of the network does not directly matter to you. Only the difficulty matters. Without a difficulty readjustment, cutting actual hash power in half does not double your odds. Think of it like this:

Android largely works now with these permission prompts, though. TikTok asks you for a million permissions too, and many average end users decline. Many people also opt out of tracking on Facebook et al. when iOS prompts them about it.
