When your laptop is sleeping, it can't be doing computation. I mean, that's not specific to LLMs. You're going to have to set it in your OS to not sleep.
The only exception I can think of would be if you (a) have it connected to wired Ethernet and (b) the laptop can do Wake-on-LAN; in that scenario, you could rig something up where it wakes up when something tries to contact it. In practice, you probably just don't want to have it sleeping.
Thanks! Have you ever set up wake on LAN? Any recommendations?
Nope, sorry. Also, based on the WP article, apparently there's now a wireless variant of Wake-on-LAN that I'd never heard of until now (again, assuming that the wireless chipset and the system supports it).
Thanks! I’ll do some reading.
