Crazy to me that as soon as one GPU wave is dying (crypto), another one is picking up slack.

One day we'll find out that all of the VR, crypto, and maybe now AI bubbles were nothing but conspiracies being driven by big-GPU to keep their share price up.

Speaking for myself, I have already gotten more use out of 2 weeks of chatgpt than I have out of 16 years of Bitcoin

The thing I like the most about the current AI wave is the pressure is putting on computing hardware. Yes, mobile phones with long battery lives are cool and all of that, but most cool things I like are locked behind huge computational requirements.

Crazy to me that as soon as one GPU wave is dying (crypto), another one is picking up slack.

For most part of the 20th, a bulk of the energy humanity was able to extract was used for industrialization. Now it seems that a vast bulk of the energy being extracted will go towards computation.

I tested on a decidedly above average CPU, and got several words per second on the 7B model. I'd guess maybe one word per second on a more average one?

Cool so we're back to the days of 2400 baud modems

More like 300 baud. At 300 baud (30 cps) you can still read it as it arrives.

Unlike Stable Diffusion, I don't stumble upon people who actually use it. Are there examples of the output this can generate? What happens once you manage to run the model?

On /g/ there's always a very active AI chatbot general that focuses on these models.

Which is a good thing. So glad all that GPU compute is being used on cool stuff rather than running SHA-256 18 quintillion times

They can’t both be cool?

> 1. Create a conda environment Uh-oh, bad start.

Why is it a bad start? It could be venv as well, I suppose, I haven't used conda.

Conda is gonna work much, much, much better for these kinds of applications, as that's what it's mostly used for, i.e. scientific/numerical computing with C/C++ dependencies.
