A user has observed a peculiar phenomenon where their GPU, a 3060, emits a chirping noise that correlates with the output of a local large language model (LLM). This sound, reminiscent of switching power supplies, is described as a "brilliant quirk" that mimics the sound effects often depicted in movies for on-screen cursors or AI speech. AI

    "#LocalLLM in the same room" story No.2: For some reason, my other GPU 3060 makes a chirping noise - like you can often hear from AC/DC switching power supplies - and it's chirping analog to the tokens it writes on the screen. That's a brilliant quirk! It's like in the movies! 📽️…
