​@@MIKEHUNT7531 Unfortunately it's not really something you program in, it can very well be en emergent property, the model learns from humans and humans don't exactly provide a good example. That's why they have so many people working on these models after they are trained in order to restrict them before they are released to the public.

Great presentation. This video will be nostalgic in 30 years like the videos we watch today about the first days of the internet being demoed ,making us feel "superior" to the experiences of the users back then while having fond memories of our first experiences. Today this is amazing. In 30 years, we'll have those fond memories.

[@HiddenPalm]

Unless AGI is achieved in the next 8 years, taking control of "The Gospel" a military AI targeting system used by Israel that increased their targets from 50 a year to over 100 a day since 2019 (The Guardian has an article on it). If one does the math, The Gospel has been mostly targeting over 100 civilians every single day since early October, sometimes 300-400 a day. Not even the ICJ nor the ICC have touched this, which means this beast has free rein. Therefore, fundamentally taking control of our defenses and using them to cull and domesticate the wild human animal, potentially killing millions in the process within the next 20-30 years, just short of when you thought you would be alive to experience "fond memories".

[@punyani775]

That was awesome. And how fast it responded and that they didn't have to press anything to interrupt it, the AI knew when it was being interrupted unlike chatGPT's voice to voice feature. Groq's chips are awesome and I can't wait to see what comes out of it

[@kobby2g8]

Would like to see how this scales across millions of requests

[@augmentos]

this host is doing a one women show. Amazing LPU speed huge potential

[@isaacdiaby]

The latency is amazingly fast wow! Great job guys. I wonder if the TTS was streamed too as that could be a solution to make it perceived faster too to the end user.

[@crawkn]

Jonathan confused me at the end. It sounded as if they are designing hardware, but then he said "they build the models, and we make it available to those who want to build applications." I guess he means they make the hardware available in servers to the app operators?

[@HiddenPalm]

By models, he means the language models others make, like the open source ones and the private sketchy ones like GPT. And I guess Groq wants to sell their hardware to developers making language models.

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

At the moment their model is that they supply a Webui and API serverless endpoint, with I think just Llama 2 and Mistral 8x7b on their servers, and inference is done through their hardware... which is called an LPU (Language Processing Unit) its about 100 times faster in tests I done with basic chat... so fast that the only problem is the latency we all get using an API. They aren't actaully selling the cards as far as I know... and I don't know if they sell isolated hardware in the cloud. Cos otherwise you are sharing the server farm with other users and there's a time delay from prompt to their system supplying an available LPU. I could be wrong there.

[@crawkn]

@@mickelodiansurname9578 Thanks. It seems as if they would do better business if they were clearer about exactly what they're selling.

[@Hrishi1970]

The moment they realised they had not signed off properly and said, "Thank you very much...", you know AGI is here...

[@dijikstra8]

So far these models don't really have long term memory though ;), they only "remember" what's in the context window, the long term memory would require back-propagating the data from your experience with the model into the neural network. Although who knows what kind of data they feed it when they train a new model, so you may as well be polite to avoid trouble in the future!

[@AmandaFessler]

Servicing businesses sounds like a great and logical start. But I'm holding out hope for consumer grade AI chips. Maybe one day I can run something like a 10x200B MoE model on my own rig without having to stack multiple RTX bricks. That's the dream. The capacity to run image/video generators would be a nice option, but even if just for LLMs, I'd be happy to save up for one.

[@Charles-Darwin]

likewise, even 3/4 capacity or lower tier would have been nice. at this rate there will be overlords Vs peasants in no time.

We need that voice interface on the laptop -- not just on mobile like openai. When you can have a back and forth voice conversation (esp. something that can talk back) and at speed like this, even with interruptions, it becomes very natural and you can really talk through things with someone/something knowledgeable. If you add citations, you can fact check too.

[@thesimplicitylifestyle]

This will be perfect for the customer service industries. Very exciting!

[@Mpho-xv9ko]

I've seen Groq do it's thing 5 months ago,but now I'm honestly sold and this is the very same idea I had in mind all along.

[@CarMoves]

What a great high energy interviewer Her interruptions were actually quite clever -- the Ai will have to contextually understand this and adapt

[@karlvuleta]

I'm curious what the LLM was running on. If it's an external server the speed is still impressive, but if this was all running locally on the laptop with the chip installed that's actually insane

These chips/ cards need A LOT more memory on them. 230MB of on-board memory is appalling. The fact that you have to buy 72 of these cards just to get 16GB of memory is insanity. Specially when each card costs 20k each. Sure it's cool that it's fast, but not when it costs 1.44million for 16GB of memory when that will barely be enough to run a 7b model fp16.

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

Triple confusion when you consider that Groq (the hardware vendor) was set up back in 2016, and XAI's Grok just last year... plus Groq own the trademark on their name... Thankfully Elon noticed this and is planning on changing the name of Grok to either Mocrosoft Bindows, or I Bee M!

[@ashh3051]

Perhaps Elon didn't expect that startup to become a mainstream success and discuss in the media like it has.

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

​@@ashh3051 It was being discussed in the media, well the AI media, back when Groq produced their first demonstration paper on this tech in 2019 I think? Before the pandemic some time... Plus the founder of Groq is Johnathon Ross... and he's fairly famous in AI, the guy that created the Google TPU processor. Okay the average joe in the street likely never heard of this tech, in fact the average joe in the street is still clueless... but I'd be fairly sure those in AI all knew who they were since at least 2021. Having said that I'm a little surprised that the AI enthusiasts over on Reddit weren't aware either... they are all over there trying to work out why this new type of GPU only has 230mb of VRAM.
