See the results live! Check out my book on the autism spectrum! amzn.to/4elzfQvI’m doing something that’s never been done before: we’re going to run a ChatGPT-style large language model locally on a wide range of hardware, from a $50 Raspberry Pi 4 all the way up to a $50,000 Dell AI workstation with dual Nvidia 6000 Ada cards.If you saw my last video, you know I caught some heat for using top-tier hardware and running everything in WSL on Windows. This time, I’m doing things differently. We’re starting small and budget-friendly—no Linux shenanigans—and testing out local inference on everything from a Pi to a high-performance mini PC, a gaming rig, an M2 Mac Pro, and, of course, that beast of a Dell workstation. Along the way, I’ll show you how to install Ollama on Windows, and we’ll compare how well each machine can handle models like Llama 3.1 and even the monstrous 405-billion parameter model. Which system will shine? Which one will falter? Can a Raspberry Pi even handle a large language model at all? And what happens when we push the $50,000 workstation to its limit?If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to run a large language model locally, or just want to see how different hardware stacks up, this episode is for you!
