What kind of a website is that? Super slow and doesn't work without web assembly. Do you really need that for a simple interface

It's not about their frontend, they are running custom LPUs which can process LLM tokens at 500/sec which is insanely impressive.

For reference with a max size of 2k tokens, my dual xeon silver 4114 procs take 2-3 minutes.

No I got what you meant, but that site is weird if it's not doing anything on its own

Isn't it those that cost $2000 per 250mb of memory?? Meaning you'd about 350 to load any half decent model.

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Not sure how they are doing it, but it was actually $20k not $2k for 250mb of memory on the card. I suspect the models are probably cached in system memory.

That with a fp16 model? Don't be scared to try even a 4 bit quantization, you'd be surprised at how little is lost and how much quicker it is.
