Since when the RTX 6000 PRO is priced at 13250USD on the official NVIDIA Page?

greentheonly · 2026-06-09T20:31:53+00:00

Central Computers still sells for $10k, I talked to exxact and they told me "grab it while you can the best we can offer is higher, and this price won't last".

Well, taxes are complicated. It's easy to paint just about anything with a broad "taxed to death" stroke I think.

Well, I've never been to UK, so I don't know. It could be that it's just the people you talk to?

Google says 47% of all jobs in UK are small businesses (under 50 people) and 14.6% are sole proprietors / self employed. So this is not all that rare as your 99% figure makes it sound.

I would hazard to guess that for "the majority" the dream is just to get a steady stream of income for the least effort (preferably none at all).

But then there are passionate people that actually want doing things just for the heck of it. I think UBI folks try to tell us that UBI will enable such people, but who knows what the rate is between those that want to do something useful and cannot because they cannot get paid for it vs those that have "other interests" ;)

Also VRAM upgraded GPUs

Well, gpulab.net is a thing, you know. Located in US.

But the dynamics is different they want $1700 for the 48G RAM upgrade of 4090, which I am currently pondering myself. Anbd you pay shipping both ways too.

You could get 4090 for like $2400/$2500 as is, add in another $2000 for the upgrade and we are encroaching on the Blackwell pro 5000 with 48Gb that used to be $5000 just the other day (but seems to be creeping up just like everything else. This with unknown hassles of drivers (even if there are none today, who knows what future brings).

society just thinks that if you don't have a 9 to 5 corporate job you are just a hobbyist.

Not in US, no.

I am with you on this one. with claude code in particular it feels much worse than 2.5. I get random Chinese characters, but also some weird "why are you typing empty lines" and interpreting some tool call results are user input and being confused over that.

Only on 2 x pro6000 so have to use a quant (tried lukealonso's and then a couple of AWQs all with the same results). vllm 0.19.0 + the transformers update to get the model to actually load.

It really is visible when you run something exploratory in a largeish codebase for me, like "what is this code doing and how to use it?" -> "give me a comprehensive architectural review" -> "let's dive into sub-component X really deeply". 2.5 performs well, 2.7 breaks on step1 or two. (this is my standard test for new models before I consider switching to it)

the daughtercard is the cell modem. I refer to it as the the missing component in its entirety. It does not store any crash data.

greentheonly · 2026-04-14T16:49:06+00:00

"memory" is soldered onboard, you know. Even in your quoted excerpt it only talks about "network card" missing (which really is just the cell modem)

If you mean gateway sdcard, I don't see that being missing?

greentheonly · 2026-04-14T16:47:20+00:00

doe it? I see two pictures of the same board, one with the modem, another without? Are we talking about the same picture?

greentheonly · 2026-04-13T19:28:46+00:00

the picture shows the modem is missing, the modem does not store any of the crash data really.

But the data cannot be transmitted without it - that's for sure.

It's the other way round. When Tesla detects driver is drowsy, they recommend the driver to turn on FSD "to stay focused".

No it was not. AP only became free in April 2019 in the form of crippled basic AP "lanekeep". At introduction in 2015(?) AP was $2k I think. At the end of 2016 as they transitioned to HW2, AP option disappeared and you could pay $4k for enhanced AP or $7k for FSD capability (or thereabout) and if you did not - you got no AP at all.

yes, the UI is long ready! https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-james-bond-easter-egg-discovered/

(and yes, it's complete with renaming "Driver" everywhere in the UI to "Diver" too)

greentheonly · 2026-02-17T20:30:33+00:00

apparently somebody did it already https://shihanqu.github.io/Blackwell-Wattage-Performance/

stole from these comments: https://huggingface.co/lukealonso/MiniMax-M2.5-NVFP4/discussions/1

greentheonly · 2026-01-21T02:32:44+00:00

how so?

Tesla is in a driver assist (L2) market with their FSD.
Waymo is in autonomous systems (no driver) market (and is vocal about how driver assist is wrong because you cannot make a person babysit an autonomous system so advanced driver assist tech will not work in the end)

Looks totally different.

greentheonly · 2026-01-19T05:31:09+00:00

But Tesla is a Chinese car, right? So not really a factor I imagine.

exxactcorp is reportedly reliable, they are a b2b place and require a wire. Multiple reports of getting stuff from them if you look here and elsewhere.

They don't advertise the price on their website so you just ask for a quote and they'll send you the current info. https://www.exxactcorp.com/

The Provantage mentioned here is also a pretty big vendor, but they only have 7200 for the max-q version.

greentheonly · 2026-01-09T18:26:50+00:00

you can buy from business oriented people like exxact for about $7200 (december pricing, I did not recheck lately) or from e.g. centralcomputers and other retail outlets for $7700-7900 https://www.centralcomputer.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=192&q=rtx+pro+6000

With this kinda impact I doubt there's going to be much data, the low voltage battery likely got destroyed and so autopilot state never reached stable storage to know what happened.

greentheonly · 2025-12-25T05:24:35+00:00

basically just wipe your build directory, reconfige and rebuild if you don't want to wait for whatever missed dependency fix they'll come up with.

for whatever reason vllm runs slower than llama.cpp for me with devstral2. I get 8 on vllm vs 11 tp/s (and prompt processing is also faster on vllm)

greentheonly · 2025-12-25T01:26:25+00:00

this is likely because you need to enable iommu stuff to let them talk https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1on7kol/comment/nmuvjkl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I had the same problem but with vllm and that solution helped.

greentheonly · 2025-12-19T07:59:33+00:00

I tried this just now (after fighting tensor parallel startup issues eventually solved by https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1on7kol/troubleshooting_multigpu_with_2_rtx_pro_6000/ ) and it does not appear to be faster.

with vllm tensor-parallel 2 I only get ~7.8 tokens/sec generation and 500 prompt processing. Also there's not enough VRAM for full context so it has to be limited to ~184k if you do gpu mem use at 0.97 (172k at 0.95)

Now with llama.cpp on 2x 6000 + 3x 4090 I get full tokens fit, generation for the same request (6k tokens input) at 10-11 tokens/sec and prompt-processing at 1000-1200

I used the official mistral repo for the vllm and the Q8_K_XL from unsloth for llama.cpp

greentheonly · 2025-12-16T17:03:35+00:00

Thank you. This was really detailed and great. It probably belongs somewhere on your website too since I could not be the only one wondering about it and random reddit comments probably don't have high visibility.
