llama.cpp support needed ASAP, not just quantized, but I hope it will be albe to run in a way that keeps the same two experts for minimum N tokens generated and re-valuate the expert to select only then, so that it will be possible to do the inference in low ram doing something similar to "paging".

PSA: This is broken for Apple silicon. It relies on the CUDA-only `flash_attn` package. Alas, I wanted to try Mistral's MoE on my MacBook. :( Understandable though! It's a new model with an incredibly bizarre release. My phalanges are crossed.

There is an issue for it:

Man this LLM stuff gets released faster than I can keep up. Is there a centralized list somewhere that tests "use this for x purpose, use that for y?"

Even the OSS trainers/finetuners themselves don't really know the use case for their models. They just hot drop them and move on, lol.

what a sick project to be able to attract a billionaire programmer [0] and c royalty.

There’s probably a better place to ask this highly specific technical question, but I’m avoiding Reddit these days so just throwing it out I guess. I’ve been trying to run these in a container but it’s verrrry slow, I believe, because of the lack of gpu help. All the instructions I find are for nvidia gpus and my server is a qnap tvs-473e with an embedded amd cpu/gpu (I know, I know). The only good news is that I’ve upgraded the ram to 32gb, and I have a 1TB ssd. Any idea of how I can get my own self-hosted LLM/chat service on this funky hardware? The nvidia/docker option requires installing the nvidia runtime alongside docker, but I can’t find an amd equivalent. Thanks. Sorry for the wall of text nobody cares about.
