AMD's 192 GB Gorgon Halo prices might leave you petrified
REG AD googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('labrador/thereg/article/desktop/b'); }); At 4-bit precision, Gorgon Halo is equipped with enough memory to run models to around 345 billion parameters on Linux or 320 billion parameters on Windows. The difference here comes down to memory partitioning. On Windows, you'll need to allocate 160 GB of memory to the GPU, while the Linux kernel and AMD's GPU drivers enable users to take advantage of nearly all of the available memory.
