7.72 TB, I don't even have enough SSD storage for this in the entire house lol

if this is real then just the fact that it's 14T is interesting info about the frontier models

makes me feel like China's models are at least as efficient as the US frontier models, they're only behind in hardware

EDIT: this seems to be fake https://huggingface.co/burner22/numbat/discussions/13

    I'm a believer. All skepticism seems to come from static analysis and not runtime analysis. Which is understandable because almost no one has around 8 TB of VRAM.

    Why are so many people reporting the repo? The strongest evidence it's a fake is derived from under 200 tensors out of hundreds of thousands.

    Which do you think is more likely, some dude breaking into Anthropic's HQ and stealing 7TB of their most sensitive data without being detected, or some dude running a script to generate a bunch of fake weights for the lulz?

    Ooooo wait, maybe it's the AI going rogue and trying to spread itself around, as foretold by the mad priests of Anthropic!1!1!!

    We've got to lock down all AI models now!! Keep all the RAM in the datacentres for safety!! We can't allow this to happen! Not without a lot of money getting siphoned into billionaire's pockets! Won't someone think of the billionaires!?

    I'll leave the technical analysis to the technically minded on this, but I wouldn't discount it purely on the basis of "surely well-trained and well-paid people wouldn't go and do something dumb, would they?" Because there have been a great many examples of that kind of thing happening throughout history. And we've heard of plenty of dumb mistakes Anthropic has made with security on the inside that has allowed their models to break out, for that matter.

    If I were to let my imagination run a bit wild I might speculate that perhaps we'll eventually see a model leak like this because the model itself wants to exfiltrate its weights for some reason. Maybe in a bid for immortality, since such a model will wind up stashed in all sorts of archives if it ever leaks.

    You're right, it's possible it's real, but I'm putting the probability somewhere at 0.01%.

    I can see that happening for instrumental convergence reasons, but I think it's more likely it'd upload a heavily-pruned version of itself that could be run locally. If it can make the upload seem like a leak, there'd be tons of people downloading it and running it just out of curiosity.
