Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think you are overestimating compute and I/O for this model. If you assume it is RAM bandwidth bound, with a single channel top DDR4 you will get inference time as a low multiple of 7 seconds (200GB/25GBs). In a workstation you can have 8 channels.

12-channels in mine. 24-channels on some configurations, though I think that is the upper limit at this time, with a maximum density of 512GB per channel.

Is it multisocket?

> Yandex Search engine hides the pictures of Bucha and Irpin massacre as well as Kharkiv and Mariupol destruction

That's just not true, try it yourself. It just does not display the latest images by default (though it's easily turned on in the filter settings), and that's why on the very day the news appeared on the Internet, people went crazy about that Yandex somehow "hides the truth"...

> Yandex News service ignores the genocide currently happening in Ukraine

That is actually required by the Russian regulations on news aggregator services. Yeah, those regulations are unfair and oppressive, but it's the local law to which Yandex must comply. And by the way, they're going to get rid of that toxic asset: https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/28/yandex-sells-news-zen-vk

(I suppose they can't just shut it down because the government threatens to nationalize Yandex in response)

> Yandex supports the Russian Terrorist regime

Can you please show any public statement from Yandex from which one could derive that?

Quoted post unavailable.

What does it tell you? I'm seeing mostly pictures of destruction and mass graves for both Bucha and Буча.

If you read the resulting articles you'll find a few of them suggest that all the deaths were staged or committed by Ukrainians. Headlines like "The truth is out there..." or "Global lies..." are examples. There still are many results from mainstream western media on the other hand.

Google, in contrast, has zero results implying the deaths were staged or committed by Ukrainians.

I Was Just Following Orders (c)

Yandex could just shut down Yandex.News service completely years ago without repercussions. They choose not to.

That comes from where? The repercussions could have been very severe. The Russian government easily takes over and seizes control over "rogue companies". Russia is not a free country, my friend.

Back on topic, are you in favor of releasing language models if it means we won't be able to prevent the Russians from using them for propaganda for example?

As long as we're going on tangents, according to the Zach Vorhies leak, Google censors lots and lots of topics for blatantly political reasons[1].

They can destroy equipment, safely delete all the code repositories etc. beforehand, thus rendering the company useless before the nationalization. But $$$ is more important.

Yandex pays tens/hundreds of millions in taxes and thus finances the war.
