A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Training your own will be very difficult. You will need to gather so much data to get a model that has basic language understanding.
What I would do (and am doing) is just taking something like llama3 or mistral and adding your own content using RAG techniques.
But fair play if you do manage to train a real model!
OLlama is so fucking slow. Even with a 16-core overclocked Intel on 64Gb RAM with an Nvidia 3080 10Gb VRAM, using a 22B parameter model, the token generation for a simple haiku takes 20 minutes.
No offense intended, but are you sure it's using your GPU? Twenty minutes is about how long my CPU-locked instance takes to run some 70B parameter models.
On my RTX 3060, I generally get responses in seconds.
I agree. My 3070 runs the 8B Llama3 model in about 250ms, especially for short responses.
