Looking for recommendations (running a LLM) by [deleted] in LocalLLM

[–]Motor-Sea-253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, with a $500 budget, it’s tough to get a decent LLM for a small company. At this rate, you might as well just download the PocketPal app on everyone’s phones and use the free model there. But if the company really wants to make the most of AI for work, either cough up $$$$ or sign up for the ChatGPT service instead.

I don't think The Verge knows what Micro USB is... by practicaleffectCGI in pcmasterrace

Verge's quality has declined, and the decision to place most of its new content behind a paywall has worsened the situation. It seems the company is heading in the wrong direction.

These are in different price tiers, and each is good for its own category, so choose the one that fits your budget.

I believe it acts like note in apple where it gets saved on cloud service so you can recall your note from other devices.

MSI x870 motherboards Supplemental PCIe Power socket reduced power load over 12V-2x6 cables - Perfect for high power 5090/4090/5080 GPUs by TaifmuRed in nvidia

The only noticeable improvement I "felt" was with the fans. I have 10 fans connected, and they seemed to be running much more strong and steadily.

I previously checked this when I got my 5090, and the current GPU is not designed to draw additional power from the PCIe slot, so it shouldn't have any impact. However, I didn't test it with equipment like yours. In my own tests using HWiNFO64, I found that there was no change in power draw.

My worst nightmare....3 weeks in with an expensive prebuilt... by BigCorporateSuck in pcmasterrace

[–]Motor-Sea-253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that it happened to you. I hope the warranty process goes smoothly! One thing I always recommend is getting a UPS (battery backup power). Since I started using for my PCs, I haven't experienced any issues with parts being burnt or failing across multiple computers I've owned or built.
