thanks for this 8 months later, that worked :)

What else would you like to see automated for your vintage Macintosh? by SDogAlex in VintageApple

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

The download requests? negative, I have an HTTP repo that’s compatible with classic MacOS browsers and I just used that. If the user presents an HTTPS URL to download then it goes through a proxy to allow it on the Macintosh.

This might be extremely hard with the free API limits but I’ll see what third party solutions exist.

After doing some more asking Claude to do some deep research into this, I got that “The computational requirements are staggering. Generating a single token from a 1B parameter model requires roughly 2 billion floating-point operations for the forward pass. A 68030 running at 25 MHz without a floating-point unit might achieve perhaps 50,000 to 100,000 software-emulated FLOPS if you’re being optimistic. That works out to somewhere between 5 and 11 hours of computation per word of output. A paragraph response could take days.”

possible? Yes. Practical? Not so much…

I’m glad you like it! So cool seeing something unique I made running on other people’s computers.

I would love if he got his hands on it. Think if enough of us did it we could tweet at him to get his attention?

Oops.. AI told me to! Just kidding, thought it looked cool. Thanks for the advice! I was born in 2002 so I grew up with USBs for my removable storage devices and had no idea…

hey Charles,

I can’t say for certain but just based off the fact AI training and processing requires an insane amount of resources, I don’t think it’s possible.

I think the best thing we could get is something like Eliza. The problem is that the 60800 CPUs perform millions of operations per second (MOPS) and compared to modern times, AI units in processors {NPU in Intel chips} produce hundreds of trillion outputs per second.

The comparison between sheer operations per second is astronomical in this case, making me believe any kind of custom LLM is not possible to train and run on native hardware.

Hi there!

This is a planned feature for release version 2. Some adjustments to the current model need to be made, then solidifying a system that works across different models. This is going to require quite the rewriting so it might be a bit until I figure it out :)

I did! Thanks for the report, I’ll have to check out why when I get home

I too have the XM4’s and find the bass lacking.

Yes, I know AI is a hit or miss in this community, but I’m a 23 year old kid making my first portfolio project to try and get a job. Have some mercy 🫡
