    Also, the 3B model, which is API only (so the only thing that matters is price, quality and speed) should be compared to something like Gemini Flash 1.5 8B which is cheaper than th…

    Why I use Llama: - Ability to self host. This unlocks few things: (1) Customized serving stack with various logit processors, etc. (2) More cost efficient inference. - Ability to f…

    What's your source on this? They just very recently reached 100K downloads on Android and according to various SEO tools, they get maybe ~4M visits per-month (and these tend to ove…

    When talking about memory requirements one also needs to mention the sequence length. In case of Mixtral, which supports 32000 tokens, this can be a significant chunk of the memory…
