Show HN: Llama-dl – high-speed download of LLaMA, Facebook's 65B GPT model

It's been enough time since this leaked, so my question is why aren't there blog posts already of people blowing their $300 of starter credit with ${cloud_provider} on a few hours' experimentation running inference on this 65B model?

Edit: I read the linked README.

Well?

The compute necessary to run 65B naively was only available on AWS (and perhaps Azure, I don't work with them) and the required instance types have been unavailable to the public recently (it seems everyone had the same idea to hop on this and try to run it). In my other post here [1], the memory requirements have been lowered through other work, and it should now be possible to run the 65B on a provider like CoreWeave.

I'm running LLaMA-65B on a single A100 80GB with 8bit quantization. $1.5/hr on vast.ai

What's the speed like? How many tokens per second? / Is it as fast as say ChatGPT?
