Someone made a GPT-like chatbot that runs locally on Raspberry Pi, and you can too (www.xda-developers.com)

Direct link to the GitHub repo:

It's a small model by comparison. If you want something that's offline and actually closer to comparing to ChatGPT 3.5, you'll want the Mixtral 8x7B model instead (running on a beefy machine):

Sick, I only need 90gb of VRAM!

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've got it running with a 3090 and 32GB of RAM.

There are some models that let you run with hybrid system RAM and VRAM (it will just be slower than running it exclusively with VRAM).

Yeah but damn does it get slow.

I always find it interesting how text is so much slower than image generation. I can do a 1024x1024 in probably 20s, but I get like 1 word a second with text.

Languages are complex and, more importantly, much less forgiving to error

Hopefully we see more specific hardware for this. Like extension cards with pretty much just tensor cores and their own ram.

Graphic cards without video connection exists since a while.

I’d love to see some consumer level AI stuff, sadly it all seems to be designed for server farms and by the time it ages out into consumer prices it’s so obsolete there’s no point in getting it.

[–] raldone01@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do they want consumer ai cards to exist though?

Think about the data!

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Card makers? They only want money, if theres enough consumer level demand they will make them.

[–] raldone01@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I guess your right.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 9 months ago

It's not quite consumer level I'd say but Coral.ai has some small Google Edge based TPUs.
