You may not know, but China has also adopted pretty elaborate privacy laws called Personal Information Protection Law(PIPL) which is pretty close to GDPR.
How does the Groq PCIE Card work exactly? Does it use system ram to stream the model data to the card? How many T/s could one expect with e.g. 36000Mhz DDR4 Ram?
American weapons, American ISR, American planning, American funding... US politicians talk about a "good investment" and "to the last Ukrainian". I don't understand how you could NOT call it a US-proxy war.
Its because they don't want you to actually use it and see how far behind they are compared to other companies. These announcement are meant to placate investors. "See, we are doing a lot of SotA AI too".
RTX 3090 has 24GB of memory, a quantized llama70b takes around 60GB of memory. You can offload a few layers on the gpu, but most of them will run on the CPU with terrible speeds.
It was primarily the USSR that liberated us from fascism, while the USSR stopped its occupation of east Germany, the US never stopped.
And wasn't it Christina Nuland that said "Fuck the EU" while instigating the Ukraine Coup? Wonder why we should trust the US when it has been one of the worst "Allies" we ever had...
Doesn't really look like a cooldown cycle for me in China. The competition is extreme there. Weekly new releases with another cool state-of-the-art feature. Pure innovation going on there, which makes me, as a German, kinda worried...
Usually, for efficiency, you use quantized models. Quantized models reduce the number of bits available for each parameter, saving space and reduce RAM usage.
We are talking about very big models which training requires an enormous amount of hardware. Not sure how scalable HuggingFace transformer for training such models is.
Looks like hardware vs. software abstraction. Considereing the perspective of an LLM startup: Would you rather write 20k LOC of complex code that would make you be able to more easily switch hardware platforms - or - write 600 LOC of less complex code and be pinned to a single provider?
