Sorry it was indeed receiving the hug of death - but it should be alleviated now

Sorry its getting smashed right now - increasing capacity

Thats a interesting thought. We could get it to periodically ask a question(s) once a concept has been explained in the demo. There have actually been a few studies that students learn best via discussions

you are 100% correct! Here we just check if there is a pause of 200ms (you can change that in the code). I haven't seen any models that can detect if the user has finish speaking base on the question or social cues. You also don't want to make the delay so long since then it sound unnatural

Hey! From the Cerebrium team here!

So our costs are based on the infra you use to run your application and we charge per millisecond of compute.

Some things to note that we might do differently to other providers: 1. You can specify your EXACT requirements and we charge you only for that. Eg: if you want 2 vCPU, 12GB Memory and 1 A10 GPU we charge you for that which is 35% less if you rented a whole A10 2. We have over 10 variety of GPU chips so you can choose the price/performance trade-off 3. While you can extend this on the Cerebrium platform, it cannot be used commercially. We are speaking to Deepgram to see how we can offer it to customers. Hopefully I can provide more updates on this soon

Hi Vessenes

From Cerebrium here. Really appreciate the feedback - glad you had a good experience!

This application is easy to extend/implement meaning you can edit it to however you like: - Swap in different LLM's, STT and TTS models - Change prompts as well as implement RAG etc

In partnership with Daily, we really wanted to focus on the engineer here. So make it extremely flexible for them to edit the application to suit their use case/preference while at the same time take away the mundane infrastructure setup.

You can read more about how to extend it here: https://docs.cerebrium.ai/v4/examples/realtime-voice-agents

za_mike157··on Big vs. small GPU clouds for fine-tuning LLMs
You can fine-tune Llama 2 7B/13B/70B on Cerebrium (https://www.cerebrium.ai). Disclosure: I am the founder.

We allow you to change all the hyper parameters such as num_epochs, learning_rate, tokenizer etc and even can submit your own prompt templates. If you want to use the recommended settings you can. It allows you to focus on your data and your hyperparameters rather than worrying about setup and infrastructure.

If you want to write your own code to train, you can do that also - the interface is as if you were developming locally:)
