Fucking piece of shit Sam Altman should be executed on a wooden plank and his corpse should be displayed on a public square for the next 100 years.
I was saving up for building a pc but at this point I'd rather just throw my money in a fire than buy RAM or SSD. Even Apple has better Ram pricing than these goons.
You need a gpu. Anything nvidia is fine, more ram is better, but you can use system ram to swap out what you’re doing.
If you’re doing it yourself, consider how smaller models built to do one specific thing can do the job. For example: a small 8gb video card can do text inference and its results can be sent to something like kokoro on cpu for tts and you suddenly have a talking llm on an eight year old budget gpu.
