Thank you for that writeup. Do you know how important the parameter size is? 12b, 24b, 128b, etc. Does it really improve performance or is it like megapixels in a camera: more megapixels don’t necessarily mean a better picture? And what’s “quantisation”. Context compression or something? I’ve been considering buying a better card to test models (also want to be personally sovereign), but NVIDIA on linux gives me the jeebies and, last i checked, AMD hasn’t released anything with more than 20GB in a while. In fact, figuring out hardware requirements has been tough and I’m considering just riding this whole thing out. Maybe the bubble will collapse and bring prices down to something reasonable.
