    "it can fit" on 256GB of RAM, but it will be heavily quantized and still run very slowly. The headline number is not token generation, its prompt processing. So if you get 10 tok/s…

    unauthorized? Are they trying to find a middle ground word between "illegal" and "undocumented"?

    Any generic abliterated or ubcensored open weight model (such as a qwen variant) will happily comply with requests like this.

    Maybe some (or many) people believe that more people will make it less "lovely". I think this is a popular stance and I think many people are more than satisfied with the current p…

    Does my concern somehow become less valid because I'm American? Everyone should be thinking carefully about which of their data is going where.

    I guess I was speaking as an American, we have good domestically hosted options so although it’s probably not ideal to send this kind of data/control anywhere at all, it’s definite…

    I’m worried about giving a foreign hosted service access to my machine for a coding agent that can run arbitrary commands and read arbitrary files. Coding agent are much more usele…

    I recently built a system at insane ddr4 prices ($2000 for 256gb). But that’s only after seeing how ddr5 prices were 3-4x that!

    I got an RTX 6000 pro too. I like running locally, I've learned a lot more than if I had used an API and there's less worry about overspending tokens. I accidentally spent $100 on …

    At this point IPOs are mainly for unloading bags onto retail. Every institution who wanted a piece of these labs got in years ago and captured all the value.

    I use claude/gemini as my homepage now (I have to keep switching as these companies make "updates" that periodically render their models useless). Even if I want to search for simp…

    Is this LLM psychosis? So much tending and conversing with the matmuls but what was the outcome? Are people who get this into it more successful somehow? It reminds me of people wh…

    what does it have to do with git?

    Comment #48142394

    How does git replace a vector db search exactly? They are orthogonal. Are you gonna burn a million tokens every time you wanna find some relevant files?
