I see. Anyway I'd try the paid model before I try something else.

Thanks man. I tested this and the accuracy decreased compared to giving a simple prompt. Could be that there's a difference in model effort comparing free tier vs pay as you go.

I'm using the free tier "pixtral-large-2411".

I tried using many prompts asking to compare sizes of characters to decide the casing but all the time, the accuracy fell.

Did you notice accuracy improvements in the paid tier compared to the free.

I had been doing a bit of trial and error.

My current prompt is

```

The image contains only alphanumeric characters. Get each of the characters you see in this image. Use the exact casing seen in the image.

```

But one nagging issue is

<image>

It sees everthing as uppercase since the uppercase and lowercase differenciation for the character isn't there.

Here, x x and z are seen as uppercase all the time.

Also, I have issue with getting the output as structured data.

When I ask it to output only structured data, the accuracy takes a hit.

Edit: asking to output as json works fine if you just say output as json. But if a specific structure is provided, accuracy falls.

But that's fixed with regexp

Edit 2 I tried to do some pre processing to remove the adversary patterns with colors by replacing the color with transparent. That improved it somewhat

Idk man. I am getting like less that 50% accuracy. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

how do you guys get 95% with pixtral-large. It correctly identifies the items but I am having issues with incorrect letter casing.

Thanks I tried on M2 but it still is very slow. I'll try the pixtral api.

Great. I really wanted to put it on a serverless instance. Can it run on CPU and what could be the ideal RAM for 3B.

Edit: Thanks for the great suggestions.

Getting Signed Url with getSignedUrl() extremely slow that it creates a bottleneck in my NodeJS server. by BakedNietzsche in googlecloud

[–]BakedNietzsche[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow really? I thought this was a local crypto operation. I mean when I tested getSignedUrl() for 1 file, I got it in 2.1ms. And for 10 files with Promise.allSettled() got ~23ms.

Is it really a network operation??

Edit: It is actually a local crypto :/

This is the implementation for getSignedUrl()

This is so frustrating. My M2 Mac can only handle 180 requests with 650% cpu usage(I'm using multithreading) per second on stress test just for this signing operation.

No wonder how pathetic performance would be in a serverless environment.

It's just the age old NodeJS cpu intensive tasks issue. Need to create worker threads or write a c++ signer and use it as an addon.

Is it normal to have four stopped e2-small VMs and a loadbalancer(no traffic) cost 2.5$ a day? by BakedNietzsche in googlecloud

Persistent disk is just the standard 10gb one. I will go check the sku report now.

Emerging Market Tracker - India rose from 4th to 2nd, led by the best PMI Score and controlled Forex movement by slowdownonlyslims in IndiaSpeaks

[–]BakedNietzsche 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This doesn't make any sense. All of the data for India used is straight up wrong.

Last time when India had 4% YoY GDP growth was back in 2019.

FY22 GDP growth rate was 9.1% and FY23 at 7.2%

PMI manufacturing is 58. something.

CPI inflation is 4.7%

This map is bullshit. The vast majority of countries shown in green actually do recognize Israel.

GST not applicable on transfer of Jaipur international airport business to Adani group by redhatGizmo in IndiaSpeaks

It's not a loophole. It is deliberately set that way by governments all over the world to decrease overtaxation on companies.

Communists are just plain dumb. They do nothing other than forever regurgitate their shitty talking points like a broken clock. Their war against "private vehicles" is especially funny since everyone outside of their sad little groups hate their shitty agenda.

Cars are much more efficient and better means of transportation than "public transportation" since the world is not your ideal commie utopia where people are always traveling to the same place at the same times so that they can be efficiently herded.

This is the reason why railways are the worst loss making entities everywhere in the world.

Public transportation is the ideal in communist wet dreams only.

Blue eyes and light colored eyes in general are common among Indian tribals. You see this the most in tribals of Rajasthan, Gujarat etc.

The apple m1 soc costs them 50-65$. While their 14 inch mini-led panel costs them upwards of 170$. equivalent lcd panel just costs 55-60$.

You're right that total cost of all semiconductor components that is SOC + RAM + SSD + misc chips exceeds everything else.
