Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

I will remember this.
What are you gonna do, buy Nvidia? That'll show em lol
They could gain an unbelievable market share if they prioritized users... But I guess the DRAM pricing is also getting in the way; easier to get margin if you're selling to a data center.
What good is high market share in a market that's well on its way to being killed off for good?
Retail users have - unfortunately - neither the disposable income nor the political will to compete with the billionaires driving this development.
Because they can make a little more money right now, and that's all they care about.
I don’t suppose buying AMD is really much of a protest vote against Nvidia. I also see the 7900 XTX is going for $1800 whereas it was available for a little over half that a few months ago. 😖
Nvidia is changing focus to consumers again. Jensen knows the future of Ai is local. Every move he made recently shows that. Buying hugging face, rtx spark. He knows the large data center model is starting to end.
Oh boy, what a difference a couple of days makes!
I would wager a guess that there's no more pre-orders of everything they've got and there's a lot of demand built up for the consumer side. I still wouldn't expect prices to come down any time soon though, unless some of the hoarded chips flood the market somehow.
This! Yes. 100% agreed. Of maybe 98. I don't know if the large data center model ends, nor if he knows that.
I do know that Nvidia topline growth story cannot grow more than it's done with frontier models. It can though keep growing if local inference or anyway distributed inference becomes a thing. But if the market doesn't believe that, as frontier labs IPO it's Nvidia stocks that get sold otherwise.
That's insane. I bought mine last month for ~900$.
I don’t suppose buying AMD is really much of a protest vote against Nvidia.
Before AI, it was about proprietary vs open standards and iirc open source linux drivers. Surely those still apply.
I wonder if we can get new congress to pass some laws protecting consumer computer component availability. There is a solid national security argument as the demand for home computers won't entirely go away, so people will be buying components from other countries (like scary China) if there is no US market availability.
