      What kind of a website is that? Super slow and doesn’t work without web assembly. Do you really need that for a simple interface

        It’s not about their frontend, they are running custom LPUs which can process LLM tokens at 500/sec which is insanely impressive.

        For reference with a max size of 2k tokens, my dual xeon silver 4114 procs take 2-3 minutes.

          That with a fp16 model? Don’t be scared to try even a 4 bit quantization, you’d be surprised at how little is lost and how much quicker it is.

          No I got what you meant, but that site is weird if it’s not doing anything on its own

          Isn’t it those that cost $2000 per 250mb of memory?? Meaning you’d about 350 to load any half decent model.

            Not sure how they are doing it, but it was actually $20k not $2k for 250mb of memory on the card. I suspect the models are probably cached in system memory.

    When Apple shows their iPhone comparison they list number of processor cores of different types. one type of core is “neural engine”. However I’ve never seen specifics on how it works or how well it works. I wonder if it is similar
