Is there a performance comparison with Ollama. Do both use llama.cpp for serving?

The question to about the obvious quality drop for Google is, Is this intentional? Perhaps some cost saving or ROI measures? Or the motive always was to just train their AI and we just helped with that?

Feels sped up. the car music system seems to show faster speed of leds and the speedometer is also stuck in an odd angle.

Great effort nonetheless

>Defunkt makes it sound like it was a choice and they were a steward ... bs. If Google had a better offer, it would have been done.

Exactly! Total BS!

There are however some things that would motivate many founders to turn down their(Google) offers.

- Biggest issue with Google Acquisitions. They want the business and not the tech. They want to rewrite the tech riding their high horse. - They often wont offer full time roles to employees of acquired companies and would keep them on contract positions pending "interview" for full time.

Not sure what you run this on and why its $50/day but sounds like a lot.

Convert your server cost to a pay as you go model. You are currently paying even for time when your server is idle. Containerise your app and run on something like AWS Lambda which has a pay for what you use model.

- s3 is cheap for storing your model data and as long as you are just reading that should be fine.

- AWS Lambda has 1 million free invocations per month in free tier.

- Post that you pay $0.60 per 1 million requests

- AWS stack is just an example, you can easily use GCP Cloud run or any other equivalent service.

In my experience it's very hard to write code for parallel compute workloads and I am guessing that half of the code written would be creating abstractions about that.
