"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why do they use mac minis ?
Running an AI on a GPU requires enough VRAM to fit the model, otherwise it will fall back to the CPU which is very slow. Mac Minis share RAM between the CPU and GPU, and you can get a Mac mini with a lot of shared RAM for a lot cheaper than a GPU with a lot of VRAM.
Ty this is the answer I was looking for
They're bizarrely capable and (were) dirt cheap for their utility.
Because Christians wear cross.
