Feb 23, 2024 - 6:06pmSummary: The user provided their initial impression of the Ten's Torrent Gray Skull, commenting on its performance and expressing hope for better results in the future as the hardware evolves.

Comment: Initial grayskull impression

Transcript: First impressions of the Ten's Torrent Gray Skull. It's a lot of work and it runs Whisper very slowly compared to my GPU or M1, so... It's early hardware, what can you say? That's kind of what I would expect from early hardware, but also I was really hoping for just like, you know, smashing performance out of the box, so I could just kind of run Whisper all the time on this card. But it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case, so yeah, we'll kind of just have to keep a tab on it and see how it continues to evolve, go from there.

I had an excellent call with Jordan, which I'll discuss in more detail later. Unexpectedly, I succeeded in quantizing lava, and the initial results look promising despite the script being rough. It seems feasible that I might run something akin to GPT-4 style vision captioning locally. I'm excited to upload these quantized models to see the outcomes and I plan to head to Jordan's house to upload more models soon.
