minus-squareScott@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoIt’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.

minus-squareScott@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoNot 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.
