I ended up buying an ASUS BT400, it works out of the box in Linux. I found it here

Yeah I tested with lower numbers and it works, I just wanted to offload the whole model thinking it will work, 2GB it’s a lot. With other models it prints about 250MB when fails and if you sum up the model size it’s still well below the iGPU free memory so I dont get it… anyway, I was thinking about upgrading the memory to 32GB or may be 64GB but I hesitate because with models around 7GB and CPU only I get around 5 t/s and with 14GB 2-3 t/s, so I run one of around 30GB I guess it will get around 1 t/s? My supposition is that increasing RAM doesn’t increase performance per se, just let’s you upload bigger models to memory, so performance is approximately linear on model size… what do you think?

I get an error when offloading the whole model to GPU

./build/bin/llama-cli -m ~/software/ai/models/deepseek-math-7b-instruct.Q8_0.gguf -n 200 -t 10 -ngl 31 -if

The relevant output is:

…

It seems to me that there is enough room for the model, but I don’t know what “Device memory allocation of size 2013265920” means.

Is BLAS faster with CPU only than Vulkan with CPU+iGPU? After failing to make work the SYCL backend in llama.cpp apparently because of a Debian driver issue I ended up using the Vulkan backend but after many tests offloadding to the iGPU doesn’t seem to make much difference.

Yes, gpt4all runs it in cpu mode, the gpu option does not appear in the drop-down menu, which means the gpu it’s not supported or there is an error. I’m trying to run the models with the SyCL backend implemented in llama.cpp that performs specific optimizations for cpu+gpu with the Intel DPC++/C++ Compiler and the OneAPI Toolkit.

Also try Deepseek 14b. It will be much faster.

ok, I’ll test it out.

I tried llama.cpp but I was having some errors about not finding some library so I tried gpt4all and it worked. I’ll try to recompilte and test it again. I have a thinkbook with Intel i5-1335u and integrated Xe graphics. I installed the Intel OneAPI toolkit so llama.cpp could take advantage of the SYCL backend for Intel GPUs, but I had an execution error that I was unable to solve after many days. I installed the Vulkan SDK needed to compile gpt4all with the hope to being able to use the GPU but gpt4all-chat doesn’t show the option to run from it, so from what I read it means that it’s not supported, but from some posts that I read I should not expect a big performance boost from that GPU.

What do you mean by “average number of pages”? Average over what?

Searching “github download webpage video” gives this and more results to try.

Here is how you can run the 671B model without using graphic cards for about $6.000. Here is the post on X.

Here you have all the packages you can install for specific purposes grouped by categories

What about using TOR instead of a VPN?

The idea is to restore Windows to the same laptop in case I want to sell it, so it shouldn’t have any issues, right?

What are the pros of using Clonezilla instead of dd, in terms of simplicity the command that I wrote it’s hard to beat.

Great, I didn’t know that you can make a checksum of a drive. Thanks.

mpv --ytdl URL. Read starting from --ytdl option in the mpv man page, you can even give specific yt-dlp options through --ytdl-raw-options.

Stealing revenue it’s hypothetical, because it supposes that you were going to pay for the product if it wasn’t available pirated. And that is far from being certain.

Yeah that’s it! Thanks very much!

My bad for asumming that most subscribers know what mov-cli and lobster do. What I’m asking for is a program that takes the title of a movie or series as an input from the command line and start scrapping movie sites and when the movie or series is found it starts streaming it to mpv.

Good point. I was confused because my other headphones when they are in pairing mode a blue light flashes repeatedly, but after reading the manual for the XM5 this means that are not connected not that they are in pairing mode, and as you said for pairing mode you have the press the power button for 5 seconds, the problem is that when I do that the headphones shutdown, May be there is an option to change that, I will check it out.
