SSD streaming on an M5 Max 128GB: https://x.com/antirez/status/2082136334160818528 Soon decent speed across two Mac Studios with 512GB of RAM. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

0.3tx per second is decent speed? And it gets worse with every token. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Cool stuff. Do you have a the hardware and a way to bridge the compute? Or just hopeful? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

wow cool! I like watching the new models come out and how they end up crammed in to run on local machines. I learned what mxfp4 is thanks to this latest Kimi release - although it sounds like it means that there's less room for compression in the model compared to others. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I’ve wondered for a while: given the lower cost of SSD per GB could you build a very wide RAID0 style striped array of SSDs (maybe one per slot) to get almost RAM like read speeds? To really go fast you’d probably have to do PCB layout and do like 256 or 1024 chips in parallel with a fast SRAM aggregation buffer feeding a GPU or TPU rig. Or could you do the same with custom layout of cheap slower RAM? I wonder if anyone is doing this? You would flash in a model and then just run it. It would need RAM for context but much less of it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
