It can tell a good story.
In the grand AI race, all sides are trying to get their LLMs working on the weakest, cheapest hardware possible. The weaker the hardware, the less power is required to run the LLMs. But how about getting an AI model running on hardware that came out in 1982?
That’s exactly what Maciej Witkowiak is trying to do with their new project. Titled “Llama2.c64”, this project aims to get a simple AI running on a Commodore 64, which came out long, long before LLMs were even a thing. And while it definitely won’t be beating GPT-4o anytime soon, it’s still an impressive feat.
