Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Current suspicion is that because I'm both passing through and using thunderbolt, the GPU isnt getting properly reset at reboot, and is getting to a broken state.
I'm gonna try removing the VM portion of the chain when I get a spare PC. And maybe if that doesnt work I'll try drop the thunderbolt part as well, but that is a little harder to deal with.
Some GPU gore in the image:
Gave my VM a bit more ram, and right now, its currently working at 255k context. Who knows if it will keep working, but right now I am happy. I am planning on getting an old NUC with plenty of ram, so maybe this will be sorted with that upgrade.
Idk if this is a thing but there is no motherboard to control voltages and you may fry your GFx card that way
Nah, the PSU controls the voltages. All the motherboard does is turn on the PSU by shorting the green PS-ON wire in the mobo cable to ground. The thunderbolt card actually came with a switch to do that, normally I use a paperclip :D.

Here is an example of a switch: https://a.aliexpress.com/_msxxnjv Mine doesn't have the third wire, I think its just for powering the switch LED though.
