Fair enough, it's "nonsense". Curious to know about YOUR experience. Sounds "nonsense" yet?
The issue is that I can give it a try on a set of toy problems, but finding a real-world-class problem is totally a different story IMHO. That is exactly the reason I asked about people's "experiences".

Anyway thanks for the response.

How much does CoT Reasoning typically cost for frameworks like LlamaIndex?

I'm curious to know, based on your experience in production, how much does Chain-of-Though Reasoning typically cost in terms of tokens for frameworks like LlamaIndex, LangChain, CrewAI, etc.?I understand it depends on many different factors including the complexity of the product and the architecture of the agents involved, but I'd love to hear about your experiences in creating...

Ask HN: The Cost of Building an AI Workflow with Open-Source Tools for a Startup

Hi everyone,I'm planning to build an AI workflow using open-source tools like models, vector databases, and frameworks (e.g., crewAI, langchain, llamaindex) without doing any training or fine-tuning. Can anyone share the average computational cost to go from an idea to a finished product using cloud-based services? I'm specifically interested in the average total cost for developing...

Re:Ask HN: Privacy-Aware Inferencing for LLMs on Saturday June 08, 2024 @06:57AM (#40616753)
Thanks @koutetsu,

I know about FHE and TFHE, but as you said, they need a lot of computational resources.

Ignoring the training process and just looking at inference, what are the "technical" drawbacks of this idea? If the first and last layers of the network run on the local machine, how could a malicious cloud reverse engineer the inputs and discover the raw data?

Ask HN: Privacy-Aware Inferencing for LLMs

Hello,One of the biggest challenges with cloud-based inferencing for LLMs is keeping user data private. Is it possible to use both local and cloud machines together to solve this?For example, could we run the first and last layers of an LLM on a local machine to protect the data privacy and use the cloud for the rest to speed things up? We could fine-tune the first and last layers locally to...

Re:Ask HN: Versal HBM Series vs. Nvidia A100 for LLM Training? on Saturday November 04, 2023 @04:54PM (#38145019)
Thanks a lot @brucethemoose2 Are there any evidences and studies (e.g. papers, case study, etc...) regarding possibility/impossibility of training or running the architecture on top of the infrastructure?

Ask HN: Versal HBM Series vs. Nvidia A100 for LLM Training?

Hello all, I am very curious to know how feasible it is to use a cluster of Versal HBM Series (e.g. VHK158 evaluation board) for training an LLM like LLaMA-2 70B in terms of 'Performance/Power/Cost.' Are there any papers regarding the comparison of a cluster of VHK158 evaluation boards and a cluster of, say, A100s?Thanks.

Ask HN: Designing New RPi for Doing HPC, ML, etc.?

Hi guys,I saw lots of people clustered their RPis for different purposes (e.g. data mining, machine learning, big data storage and Hadoop and so on ...). As you know RPi has it's own drawbacks. For example lack of enough RAM or high speed IO busses (e.g. USB 3 or GbE). So I was thinking about a brand new board with these kind of capabilities at the same price and size. However as a trade off we...
