I think KoboldAI runs locally, but like many current AI tools it’s a pain in the ass to install, especially if you’re on Linux, especially if you’re using AMD GPUs. I wonder if we’ll see some specialized AI related cards to slot into our pci ports or something. Not a whole lot of necessary options to fill them nowadays anyway. I’d also be interested in local AI voice changers too. Maybe even packaged like a Roland VT-4 voice transformer that sits between your mic & whatever audio other audio interface you might be using, where you just throw the trained voice models onto the device and it does all the real time computing for you.
I’m sure things get more refined over the next years though.
It would actually be pretty cool to see TPUs you can just plug in. They come stock in a lot of Google products now, I think.
Like these?
Yeah, those seem cool, although probably still not something for my inept ass to use but it’s nice to see products like these starting to pop up. Some are also not too insanely priced either. Anyone who did some benchmarks comparing them to just regular consumer gpus yet? I couldn’t find anything.
I haven’t yet. I just have a two GPU rig for training but I haven’t done any formal benchmarking yet, just messing around. I’ll add it to my to-do list, though.
Oh!! Awesome, thanks!
I’ve only watched recently without trying to build much myself for ML. I have the hardware but idk if I want to leave my bulky gaming machine on regularly just to run ML operations. Having a more dedicated piece of hardware to handle it makes the idea much more attractive to me.
Now I just have to learn everything. And then learn how to integrate a locally hosted TPU into the process.
