Yes, although it's not always exposed to the end user of LLM providers.

Don't ask the model, just look at the model selection drop-down (wherever that may be in your UI)

Disagree with everything you said. These are all self-created non-issues.

You probably should have put "v0.1" or "alpha/beta" in the post title or description - currently it reads like it's already been polished up IMO.

Wow, I took a look at the first one: ~$3 Billion for temporary shelter for just 3k kids? Almost $1 million per child??

Never heard of the program but on its face that sounds pretty bad. Grift, scam, or just inefficient govt? Not sure but not a good argument for keeping it around!

Sucks that you've had so much trouble... My experience with my cheap 6750XT is that it just works OOTB on Arch with rocm, llama.cpp, ollama, whisper, etc by setting an envvar.

Did you do any writeup/post on your experience with setting it up? I think it would have some audience ( apart from me that is ).

[dharmab → A4ET8a8uTh0_v2]

It never occurred to me because it was such an easy process kn Arch.

Hmm. Thank you. I clearly was doing something wrong ( non arch distro though ). Will try again today:D

This has been my experience with a 6950XT as well using Fedora.

I'd also love to peek behind the curtains, if only to satisfy my own curiosity. Looking forward to the technical report, well done!

Another +1 to Kokoro from me, great quality with good speed.

So long story short...

You don't like current AMD systems because one of them had an HDR screen? Nothing to do with CPU/GPU/APU?

[tharkun__ → bavell]

If the diagnosis is that AMD GPUs can't do HDR properly then yes. There was not a single setting anywhere in Windows itself nor the Adrenalin driver software that allowed me to configure the screen to a comfortable setting. Even when specifically trying to disable anything HDR related.

My work Macbook on the other hand has zero issues with HDR and its display.

To be fair, you can still blame the OEM of course but as a user I have no way to distinguish that, especially in my specific situation.
