I do wonder, how many prompts does it take to get what you want? And how many people input prompts in the same way I click a "clicky pen" when I get my hands on one and filled with nervous energy?
You and another commenter have good points about rhe bigger models ans how many prompts users hit them with. I think its dimishing returns after about 8 billion parameters and you can run those ones on old hardware. My home server is a 10 year old desktop. It cost $200 bucks to buy used last year and i didnt notice the energy costs. Me and my wife try to use it for any thing wed use an online one for instead. Probably only gets prompted about 10 times a week between the two of us.
๐ค I actually have a energy meter thing i could plug the the server into. I could do 100 prompts and tell you how much energy it ate for the day. Anybody interested?
yea do it
You got it dude. Feel free to ping me if i forget to respond. Im a very forgetful comrade ๐ซก
me catching up on my inbox
Oh yeah! ... somewhere in the many drawers of gadgets and gizmos there is a Kill-A-Watt meter in my house that I was wanting to use for a project...
You got drawers for your gadgets and gizmos? I'm jealous all I got our unsorted canvas bins lmao.
Too many mice and rats around to trust canvas bins.
