Edward Snowden doing GPU reviews? This timeline is becoming weirder every day.

[-] GamingChairModel@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

"Whistleblows" as if he's some kind of NVIDIA insider.

[-] 0x0@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Intel Insider now that would've made for great whistleblowing headlines.

Legitimately thought this was a hard-drive.net post

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I bet he just wants a card to self host models and not give companies his data, but the amount of vram is indeed ridiculous.

[-] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 4 points 2 months ago

Exactly, I'm in the same situation now and the 8GB in those cheaper cards don't even let you run a 13B model. I'm trying to research if I can run a 13B one on a 3060 with 12 GB.

[-] TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

You can. I'm running a 14B deepseek model on mine. It achieves 28 t/s.

I also have a 3060, can you detail which framework (sglang, ollama, etc) you are using and how you got that speed? i'm having trouble reaching that level of performance. Thx

[-] levzzz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You need a pretty large context window to fit all the reasoning, ollama forces 2048 by default and more uses more memory

Oh nice, that's faster than I imagined.
