No, just updated the parent comment, I added -c 4096 to cut down the context size, and now the model loads.
I'm able to get 6-7 tokens/sec generation with 10-11 tokens/sec prompt processing with their model. Seems quite good, actually—much more useful than llama 3.2:3b, which has comparable performance on this Pi.
That’s a pretty big caveat. In my experience, using a small context size is only okay for very short answers and questions. The output looks coherent until you try to use it for anything, then it turns into the classic LLM babble that looks like words are being put into a coherent order but the sum total of the output is just rambling.
Some more benchmarking, and with larger outputs (like writing an entire relatively complex TODO list app) it seems to go down to 4-6 tokens/s. Still impressive.
Decided to run an actual llama-bench run and let it go for the hour or two it needs. I'm posting my full results here (https://github.com/geerlingguy/ai-benchmarks/issues/47), but 8-10 t/s pp, and 7.99 t/s tg128, this is on a Pi 5 with no overclocking. Could probably increase the numbers slightly with an overclock.
You need to have a fan/heatsink to get that speed of course, it's maxing out the CPU for the entire time.
Sounds like something that could be weaponized. Order a bunch of 'gifts' to be shipped to a target via UPS/FedEx or whichever vendor helpfully pays the tarrifs for you. Then your victim has to fight collections or pay up.
really sorry you had to experience that! i added a NSFW flag - i'm just pulling content randomly by date and didn't know the Archive had that kind of graphic content :(
Lighten up. People spend their time doing lots of things they enjoy regardless of the value others place on their efforts. Instead of projecting embarrassment, go save the world if that makes you happy.
