I guessed you thought about consumer GPUs. We are about standard datacenter GPUs indeed.

What a lot of use on here are salivating for is the ability to run these on prosumer hardware at home. So we tend to jump to the conclusion that "standard" means "consumer-grade" because that's what we want to see. Still, very cool work!

thank you deflator, I understand this now! much appreciated

A consumer "Standard GPU" could mean about a 6-8gb VRAM GPU still in support by the manufacturer, independent of CUDA/etc proprietary technology.

Recent Steam hardware survey top GPU list is:

- RTX 3060 (6 or 12gb VRAM)

- RTX 4060 (8 or 16gb)

- RTX 3050 (6 or 8gb)

- RTX 5070 (12gb)

- RTX 5060 (8gb)

- GTX 1650 (4gb!)

That list only covers about 22% of survey respondents but sets a 6-8gb VRAM baseline for consumer GPUs.

Can this run on an RX 570 8gb form 2017? Maybe that's a ways back. A 1660 6gb from 2019? Intel? They had a decent budget run in recent years.

How would you classify a datacenter GPU as standard/non-standard? That doesn't seem to be a meaningful distinction. It's click bait.

The blog makes it clear that "standard" GPU here is in opposition to purpose-built hardware like Cerebras. The selling point is reaching the same order of magnitude in generative speed as those approaches.
