Hi,

Remember when first all local AI was Python
and PyTorch APIs. And then suddently people strated
using bare metal C/C++ Code. Here is the story:

How it started:

GPT-J or GPT-J-6B is an open-source large
language model (LLM) developed by EleutherAI
in 2021. As the name suggests, it is a
generative pre-trained transformer model
designed to produce human-like text that
continues from a prompt.

How it was going [Georgi Gerganov]:

So a few days later comes out the LLaMA, I do
some calculations and I figure out “Okay, 65
billion parameters. You probably need about
40 gigs of RAM, with 4-bit quantization. So
this can run on a MacBook. Why not do it?”

Why I was able to do it so quickly - basically,
for all that I saw it’s pretty much GPT-J architecture
with some modifications, like some extra memorization
layers. It’s minor changes. Basically, again, the
existing code for the GPT-J, I just simply
modified it there, it happened pretty quickly.
