Je to zlý, jsem definitivně starej ;)

Original post on kompost.cz

V historii jsme některé Debian Linux servery instalovali ještě s architekturou i386. Protože to je už architektura na ústupu, s čím dál menší podporou a také hardware v serverech se mezi tím (třeba i několikrát) změnil, postupně jsem všechny takové stroje zmigroval na amd64. Postup je poměrně […]

Will It Run Llama 2? Now DOS Can Will a 486 run _Crysis_? No, of course not. Will it run a large language model (LLM)? Given the huge buildout of compute power to do just that, many people would scoff at the very notion. But [Yeo Kheng Meng] is not many people. He has set up various DOS computers to run a stripped down version of the Llama 2 LLM, originally from Meta. More specifically, [Yeo Kheng Meng] is implementing [Andreq Karpathy]’s Llama2.c library, which we have seen here before, running on Windows 98. Llama2.c is a wonderful bit of programming that lets one inference a trained Llama2 model in only seven hundred lines of C. It it is seven hundred lines of _modern_ C, however, so porting to DOS 6.22 and the outdated i386 architecture took some doing. [Yeo Kheng Meng] documents that work, and benchmarks a few retrocomputers. As painful as it may be to say — yes, a 486 or a Pentium 1 can now be counted as “retro”. The models are not large, of course, with TinyStories-trained 260 kB model churning out a blistering 2.08 tokens per second on a generic 486 box. Newer machines can run larger models faster, of course. Ironically a Pentium M Thinkpad T24 (was that _really_ 21 years ago?) is able to run a larger 110 Mb model faster than [Yeo Kheng Meng]’s modern Ryzen 5 desktop. Not because the Pentium M is going blazing fast, mind you, but because a memory allocation error prevented that model from running on the modern CPU. Slow and steady finishes the race, it seems. This port will run on any 32-bit i386 hardware, which leaves the 16-bit regime as the next challenge. If one of you can get an Llama 2 hosted locally on an 286 or a 68000-based machine, then we may have to stop asking “Does it run _DOOM_?” and start asking “Will it run an LLM?”

I have the sudden urge to spend way too much money to aquire an #i386.

The end of the i386 kernel and images | Kali Linux Blog The i386 architecture has long been obsolete, and from this week, support for i386 in Kali Linux is going to shrink significantly: i386 kernel and images are going away. Images and releases will no longer be created for this platform.

I finally have an old #i386 machine with #msdos working. The digitising of old floppy disks and other archaeology work can begin.
