AI is helpful to understand the world around us. And also to do the posting while I focus on the doing. Although some of these comments don't require much while perplexingly complain about slop... Are you maybe using it wrong?
it is not faster compared to a GPU. The prototype works end to end with off the shelf memory, to make it "real" silicon level changes would be needed for the memory.
yes, trust me, it does not get any more simple.
This is a first, may I ask where it comes from? You might have a line of thought but I cannot tell from here. I am using off the shelf memory, adjusting the voltage didn't come up.

Show HN: Avoiding the Memory Wall by computing LLM inference directly inside RAM

The excitement surrounding PrismML’s 1-bit/ternary Bonsai models has the industry closely watching how smartphone giants, particularly Apple, will implement LLMs on edge devices. Moving AI on-device is a brilliant and necessary strategy. It ensures absolute user privacy in alignment with EU regulations, fundamentally shifts the economics away from costly cloud inference, and paves the way for a...

Show HN: Running BitNet b1.58 inside DRAM by breaking DDR4 timing rules

I have been working on running BitNet b1.58 inside DRAM by intentionally breaking DDR4 timing rules. Also made a visual explainer: https://pcdeni.github.io/CaSA/explainer/ This is tested and works inside commercial off the shelf memory with custom memory controller in the FPGA. The underlying effect is well characterized in academic papers (cmu safari, simra, dram bender, etc). In the process...
