      What’s the resources requirements for the 405B model? I did some digging but couldn’t find any documentation during my cursory search.

        Typically you need about 1GB graphics RAM for each billion parameters (i.e. one byte per parameter). This is a 405B parameter model. Ouch.

        Edit: you can try quantizing it. This reduces the amount of memory required per parameter to 4 bits, 2 bits or even 1 bit. As you reduce the size, the performance of the model can suffer. So in the extreme case you might be able to run this in under 64GB of graphics RAM.

              https://www.ebay.com/p/116332559 lga2011 motherboards quite cheap, insert 2 xeon 2696v4 44 threads each totalling at 88 threads and 8 ddr4 32gb sticks, it comes quite cheap actually, you can also install Nvidia p40 with 24gb each, you can max out this build for ai for under 2000$

          Hmm, I probably have that much distributed across my network… maybe I should look into some way of distributing it across multiple gpu.

          Frak, just counted and I only have 270gb installed. Approx 40gb more if I install some of the deprecated cards in any spare pcie slots i can find.

        405b ain’t running local unless you got a proepr set up is enterpise grade lol

            I gonna add some RAM with hope I can split original 70b between GPU and RAM. 8b is great what it is as is

            Looks like it should be possible, not sure how much performance hit offloading to RAM will do. Fafo

            I have a home server with 140 gigs of RAM, it was surprisingly cheap. It’s an HP z6 with the 6146 gold xeon processor.

            I found a seller who was selling it with a low spec silver and 16 gigs of RAM for like 250 bucks.

            Found the processor upgrade for about $120 and spend another $150 on 128gb of second-hand ECC ddr4.

            I think the total cost was something like $700 after throwing a couple of 8 TB hard drives in.

            I’ve also placed a Nvidia 4070 in it, which I got doing some horse trading.

            How close am I on the specs to being able to run the 70b version?

                  With 144Gb of total RAM, you should be able to run any CPU intensive software.

                  The LLMs use GPU vRAM though, so it doesn’t matter how much system RAM you have, since GPU vRAM is what the xformers and tensor scripts prioritize and have been ultimately optimized to use over CPU and RAM.

                  Each card has 24GB so 48GB vram total. I use ollama it fills whatever vrams is available on both cards and runs the rest on the CPU cores.

        As a general rule of thumb, you need about 1 GB per 1B parameters, so you’re looking at about 405 GB for the full size of the model.

        Quantization can compress it down to 1/2 or 1/4 that, but “makes it stupider” as a result.

      So does OSM data. Everyone can download the whole earth but to serve it and provide routing/path planning at scale takes a whole other skill and resources. It’s a good thing that they are willing to open source their model in the first place.

    Wake me up when it works offline “The Llama 3.1 models are available for download through Meta’s own website and on Hugging Face. They both require providing contact information and agreeing to a license and an acceptable use policy, which means that Meta can technically legally pull the rug out from under your use of Llama 3.1 or its outputs at any time.”

          Oh, sure. For the 405B model it’s absolutely infeasible to host it yourself. But for the smaller models (70B and 8B), it can work.

          I was mostly replying to the part where they claimed meta can take it away from you at any point - which is simply not true.

    That looks good on paper, but while I find ChatGPT good to create critical thinking, I’ve found Meta’s products (Facebook and Instagram) to be sources of disinformation. That makes me have reservations about Meta’s intentions with LLMs. As the article says, the model comes pre-trained, so it’s most made up of information gathered by Meta.

      Neither Meta nor anyone else is hand-curating their dataset. The fact that Facebook is full of grandparents sharing disinformation doesn’t impact what’s in their model.

      But all LLMs are going to have accuracy issues because they’re 1) trained on text written by humans who themselves are inaccurate and 2) designed to choose tokens based on probability rather than any internal logic as to whether an answer is factual.

      All LLMs are full of shit. That doesn’t mean they’re not fun or even useful in some applications, but you shouldn’t trust anything they write.
