I work in the AI field. It was also my grad degree. Expect to have to use a tiny model. Rule of thumb is 16gb of memory per 1B parameters for training, not counting the size of the batched training data in memory.

if you just want to run inference you can exepct to need about 1GB memory per 1B params running 8bit quantized weights, or half that running 4bit quantized weights.

unless if you have a gpu in your laptop expect the tokens per second output to be modest, maybe 10-20

64GB RAM, GeForce RT5090...that's all I know.

Based on the title I thought you were giving up visits to the massage parlor with happy endings.

with gpu you are limited to using the onboard gpu vram if you train with the gpu, so maybe 24gb vram is available.

what you want to look into is training a LORA, not an entire model. that would optimize what you are trying to do.

LORAs sit on top of existing models and are much much easier to train. the large majority of people dont actually train their own models anymore, they train LORAs instead to specialize an existing model in something

LORAs use about 1/5 the memory to train as an entire model, so you can use a large model and train a LORA more effectively than using a model 1/10th the size and getting worse overall results because its a worse model

I'm offended you think me so shallow.. This is so NOT the way, Grogu.

I finally pulled the trigger early this morning. For a long time I had been torn between buying peps from sketchy Chinese peddlers and the other thing. But things came to a head a few hours ago. I saw this video of Dr.Alex Tatem on Diary of a CEO, and almost went down the crypto abyss. Then the Tony Robbins-Igor AI video came into my feed, and I got an epiphany. I needed to buy an AI laptop, but I had been prevaricating for months. Then the memorial day discount arrived and I finally succumbed. The massive investment means that I won't be able to purchase peptides anytime soon. It is a shame, but I'm broke. And I mean real broke. I will now have to chase Ben Franklin instead of driving out lard of the future. Got to work on the business.

But, it will mean that I will be more "regular" in posting here. Yeah, my current laptop had several keys malfunctioning, especially the letter P, and the numbers seven, eight, and nine. It was such a pain copy-pasting them. After tomorrow, my typing speed will return to baseline levels.

P.S:-I know there are a few folks here who have issues with my rapid posting. But I also know that there are ladies here. So the only appropriate response I have for you folks is what the T-800 had for the motel sup who asked him "Hey buddy, you got a dead cat in there or what?" in 1984.

Me: “This year I’m definitely taking a vacation.”

My bank account after I checked the prices: “Best I can do is a trip from home to work.”

I'm glad to be recognized...

It's more of a reflection of where my mind is at right now .

So, it's about me, not you . No offense intended.

Bro, it's ok to take a break sometimes.

Not easy when riding the wave of a manic episode!

I read the title of your post and thought, who the hell would give up Asian women. But then I read the post.

 

[birdwhacker]

A stronger laptop is not a bad thing at all though, might I recommend instead downloading a solid existing LLM?

Bro Smiter is not up on any of that "AI Laptop" is just a marketing term they use on new laptops that run copilot from the cloud.

Enjoy your new laptop smiter.

Dude... I'd sooner give up oxygen...you kiddin' me.

Tell me you didnt read the post without telling me you didnt read the post...lol

I didnt use the term AI laptop as the scammers/sellers do for the copilot nonsense..

But either way, I'm now officially so broke that the IRS offered to give me a handout

 

[birdwhacker]

.Tell me you didnt read the post without telling me you didnt read the post...lol

I just read the post again and it made even less sense than before. What did you buy?

 

[lastresort]

All I see here is:

Consooooooom

 

[Smiter]

Just a big laptop with 64GB RAM, GeForce RT50-NINE-0 GPU to run a local LLM with eight hundred TOpS

I miss when my cousin used to work for Capital One. Capital one has some deals with various electronics companies and you could buy a kickass laptop for 30% off
