I only have a Ryzen 5 3600x and a 7650xt, and downloaded AMD's LLM tool. It runs, and chats. I have thought about training it on the 4500 pages of LJ entries I saved to PDF (I know I'd have to extract the text, and then spell check that puppy. or not. Maybe I should just leave my misspells if it's a doppleganger).

But it seems it'd take a few weeks of running nonstop to train? Everywhere I'm reading says it's hard to determine the actual time required.

I would think 4500 pages of text would be a large enough volume to train. (assuming 500 words per page? If not more)

What's a good minimum number of blog entries/words to train a thing. I would think the more the merrier, but I ain't spending non-stop processing for weeks at a time.

I hate AI, I have no idea why I even want to try this, but... The data is there and it's local to my machine not shared with upstream, so I figure it'd be fine to mess with. Is my estimate in the ballpark?
