You can now run 100B parameter models on your local CPU without GPUs.
Microsoft finally open-sourced their 1-bit LLM inference framework called bitnet.cpp:
> 6.17x faster inference
> 82.2% less energy on CPUs
> Supports Llama3, Falcon3, and BitNet models
If @Microsoft is going to stop supporting @Windows 10 given so many computers cannot upgrade to windows 11, they should open source it so that others in the community can provide the security updates & patches needed.
Otherwise, what's the alternative?
Just junk the equipment?😞

The ability to ensure natural persons have the means to both; be afforded digital rights and therefore also human rights as a foundationally important outcome for Digital Transformation, remains very poorly supported. Its a moral problem, sadly.

Don't say you weren't warned! You cannot say you're for #FreeSpeech on the Internet and then vote for legislation to censor it. #KOSA techdirt.com/2024/08/16/repu…
Next generation of internet will integrate much of the WWW works, whilst creating entirely different norms for user experience. It will not use social media platforms.
I expect the mixture between gov & corporate exploitation to turn most of what's used today, untrusted & old.

People Must have the right to the electronic information/knowledge of their lives for human rights (inc. justice).
