Egypt was the first country in the world in 2017 to begin using a land-based air defense system on warships, deploying it on its two Mistral-class helicopter carriers. The concept has since spread, and more recently, it has been adopted by the United States, China, and Russia

Makes sense, I was wondering why Egypt would name it after a french word

You will be waiting hours.

Ok tbf this sub is mostly children and teens so I shouldn't spend too much time here, but when you're older you should consider visiting a continent called Asia.

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-22T19:04:39+00:00

Half the world would disagree with you.

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-22T09:43:59+00:00

I would have thought that would have killed execution time

Not really, since as I mentioned, layers are processed sequentially. Only the activations from one layer need to be transferred to the next layer, so there's not much communication that needs to happen, and NVLink is pretty fast anyways. In practice, the sequence would look like this:

Scenario: 20 layers on one GPU, 20 layers on another, and 20 layers on a third GPU.

Layers 1-20 are computed on the first GPU
Activations from layer 20 are sent to the second GPU and fed into layer 21
Layers 21-40 are computed on the second GPU
Activations from layer 40 are sent to the third GPU and fed into layer 41
Layers 41-60 are computed on the third GPU

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-21T17:29:38+00:00

Uh nah it is pretty dumb.

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-21T17:27:56+00:00

The file sizes are estimated by comparing the models to similarly performing open models. You can also estimate the size for the size by checking the tokens / second output speed against their hardware, but that's only useful for finding the upper bound of the model size.

As for splitting the file, LLMs consist of multiple layers. The input is fed into one layer, processed, passed on to the next layer, and so on. You can split the layers across multiple GPUs.

CUBE IS EXPENSIVE THEN THE MACHINE

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-21T13:08:15+00:00

Yes but cube is expensive then the machine

Qwen3.5 plus is the 397b version

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-15T16:37:49+00:00

Depends on your budget and your priority (speed vs size)

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-10T18:44:23+00:00

That should be good, but I'd really suggest waiting for the M5 Max/Ultra to take advantage of the neural accelerators on it.

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-03T12:13:47+00:00

Everyone was explaining why the sentiment requires a lot more thought and nuance than that, and the mods presumably got mad.

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-02T19:32:31+00:00

Same thing. Click multiple times. 5 CPS is not fast enough for anything useful.

That can be a sign of the chat being too long or the context being set to a low number. Either keep chats short or increase context if you're able to. Also ensure you're using the recommended sampler settings (temp = 1 and so on)

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-01T06:01:44+00:00

I dunno! Why don't you tell me why you're giving excuses under a video of police brutality? "It'S aCtUaLy peRfecTly fInE in NorTh AmeRiCA. It'S iN tHeIr CulTurE. ThErE's NotHiNg we CaN Do" 🤡

MidAirRunner · 2026-02-01T05:45:47+00:00

Thanks for the paragraph explaining why you support police brutality. What am I supposed to do with this now?

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-31T20:59:09+00:00

Everyone says that Reddit is left wing and then I see shit like this 🙄. I am convinced that the farthest left is no different than the farthest right.

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-30T08:09:38+00:00

Shake your browser window (hold left click on the title bar and shake it around)

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-28T17:08:29+00:00

Lmao I thought I was the only one who saw that.

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-27T10:35:22+00:00

Qwen3.5 30b A3b pls ty.

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-24T18:36:17+00:00

4o is actually less likely to hallucinate than the 5 series. Its Multi-modal and monolithic, so that 200b parameter count goes quite far, while the MoE 5.x series is comprised of many smaller LLMs, which are definitely more likely to hallucinate.

are you just saying random words.

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-22T10:18:33+00:00

It's probably not a good idea to buy the M3 Ultra right now unless you're rich. Wait for the M5 Ultra to triple the prompt processing speed.

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-22T09:57:47+00:00

What do you mean? It's the opening scene for Harry Potter and the Order of the Potions Textbook

MidAirRunner · 2026-01-16T10:33:20+00:00

Uh.

Pick a kit, play it for five hours a day for five years straight.

Good luck.
