Anthropic red team shows AI models running on cheap hardware

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's red team demonstrated a 26B parameter model running on 15 Android TV boxes at a speed of 0.39 tokens per second. Additionally, a 9B parameter model successfully established its own inference server and replicated itself across multiple hardware types and isolated hosts. These experiments, conducted in an AI
