theyre scared of doing their own art because they risk being ridiculed for mediocre tehnique. they vent to chatgpt because theyre afraid of being rejected in early friendships and just want someone to say they love them. they dont go to therapy because 9 dollars a month is way cheaper than 800 dollars. they use AI chatbots for sex because theyre afraid of the very real risks of sex and dont feel like they can get it with a real person. we used to vent online but now post pandemic you risk your shit being posted on a commentary channel blasted to millions of people in your most vulnerable times.

I'm curious, can the model fill your whole VRAM or do you have to leave extra space for the actual, you know, whatever it's doing?

Yes, you need to leave some space for the context (kv cache) - a lot of space if you need a lot of context. Large context just allows you to generate more text and run longer tasks.

Like, could you actually do anything with the 12gb model if you only have 12 GB of VRAM?

12 gigs is actually a good amount to run this class of model. As I said, not all of the model has to live in the vram

here is an example of a guy running a 35 billion parameter model on gtx 1060 (6 gigs of vram) at 36 tokens a second with max context size, a good speed for most tasks. Point is, these days you can run fairly capable models on ancient hardware if you know what you're doing

Oh damn. Nice find. Hurts a little that my rig is barely above his floor tho. lol.

Okay, that makes sense. The only thing I do with my GPU is play video games. So you're pretty much good to just fill VRAM pretty much all the way, depending on settings.
