I've gotten 35B-A3B running on a 4GB GPU with 16GB of RAM, the 6B actives should easily fit onto an 8GB card, but yeah, you might could get away with just 64GB of memory, maybe even just 32 if quantized small enough

I've been having this same problem for like 3 weeks now!! Are you using Firefox? That's where I experience the issue, if I try in Chromium it works.

I ended up going to their contact sales page, had the captcha fail there too. But this time it offered me a feedback form. It was ridiculous, but I finally reported it.

I also found if it fails and it gives you a troubleshoot link, you can go to that page and once it fails there it gives you the feedback form too

There are 3 reasons people hate AI right now:

  1. Being used poorly and mostly resulting in slop, or malicious/unethical/deadly uses, and psychosis
  2. Being forced down the public's throat and put into places where it adds no value, job losses, quality drops, plagiarism
  3. Datacenter/environmental concerns, part prices

So switching to local AI fixes problem 3 (mostly). But we also need the hype bubble to pop so number 2 goes away. Unfortunately the first problem will be hardest to fix and right now requires the public backlash as new norms are being formed and bad actors need to be called out.

That said, I think we're about 1 to 3 years away from the bubble popping and everything starting to balance out to where AI is treated more like just a tool rather than a genie in a box. The hype will fade out and one or two of the big players will die, but at this point I don't think generative AI use is going away

This is bullshit. 4000 hours of watch time was already a near impossible goal for new channels, especially after the past year's UI and algorithm changes. Now they want twice that?!?

It's theft. Even if you only have 100 views, you should be eligible for a cut of the profits you generated with your content.

The market is dying for a new competitor to come in and disrupt their monopoly

Because we sat around and thought we were special. We didn't need unions, we had a rare skill. And now all of our labor power has been sucked away because the people that know nothing about software and infrastructure now think they can do our jobs because they saw a cool tech demo

I think local AI is the future. When the bubble pops and the big companies have to start charging people 5-10x the price for tokens (unsubsidized), people will switch to self-hosted options. Some companies are already surpassing their budgets at the current prices.

Not only that, but you get privacy and security you'll never get from a 3rd party SaaS solution. And there are no quotas or limits you have to worry about.

As people wake up from the AI is magic hype and realize it's just another tool that is good at some things and bad at others, we're going to see some big changes.
