Piggybacking too as I am considering the same. Please OP and thank you.
And what model class are you using? Lightweight (2B), reasonable ~10B or above 32B?
Do they load fast?
I had a look at NetworkChucks setup and don't think I can afford an overpowered rig in this economy. Depending on the rig, may have to wait >20s for a prompt answer.
Thank you again!
I was playing with ministral-3 3b on a 3060. It loads pretty quick, but response generation is a bit slow. It starts responding nearly instantly once the model is loaded (which is also quick), but for long responses (~5 paragraphs) it may take 15-20 seconds for the whole thing.
Cries in 1070
I run llms using a 780m you'll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.
I'd still give it a shot. A quick check of benchmarks suggests it's not that much slower. I don't know if that extends to ML computation though.
