Brings to mind the scene in '2001' where Bowman is pulling out individual pieces of hardware that represent the mind of HAL, and it becomes increasingly incoherent as more physical hardware is detached. https://www.yout

It did get it wrong but it also got a lot farther than much more recent, but worse models like 6.7GB on disk size ternary bonsai. It at least knows it's from Yiddish. The "schlemp" appears to be a total hallucination or it&#x

I think the same exact model running on CPU-only and RAM, or a small GPU, would do about the same? It's quite an old model now and small, you could throw a GGUF into llama-server or something for a side by side comparison. https:&#x2

I wonder if you had a few percent of problems in the yield, if it would be functionally equivalent to the difference between a unsloth-published Q6 standard size GGUF vs. the nearly perfect precision of an unsloth Q8-K-XL. Or more like Q4 v

There isn't SchlongBench(TM) yet, it's a specific question I've been asking of differently sized models as a randomly chosen gauge of how much less commonly used knowledge is perma-baked into it. In this case a question about

Having a base model ASIC as a physical piece of hardware makes me think of the early days of microcomputer desktop stuff where having a socketed ROM or PROM was a key piece of hardware, and people actually knew/cared what ROM was on th

Imagine the size of chip needed to 'etch' something like Qwen 3.6 27B in size.

I absolutely agree, if you have just a few people who are each paid 180k a year sitting around waiting for something to arrive because the low-quantity prototyping vendor is slow, it's not the best use of resources at all. One of the r

As modern datacenters go, 69,000 sq ft for a whole facility is REALLY small. Only some portion of that 69k is going to be actual conditioned space once you subtract all the ancillary services, things like security office, staging area, bath

Let's say that one does want to use a raspberry pi as a hypervisor and run a bunch of VMs on it... But why? A raspberry pi 5 with current market pricing for the 8GB or 16GB model is a really bad price/performance decision. Not w
