insane behaviour from AMD asking me to install a 10.5GB chat bot to ask it what my GPU temperature is
@lion does it ... does it have a whole LLM to run locally?
@bagmangood I think it does yeah
@lion my feeling is that is both:
- horrifying (10 GB for something that doesn't need a chatbot)
- least horrible way to use an LLM (is at least local)
@lion lm_sensors RPM == 131kB
@lion AMD-CHAT: “Your current GPU temperature is a hell of lot higher now that I’m running on it!”
@lion Oh god. Please tell me its at least local
@shenanigrams Seems to be yeah
@lion Wait, AMD wants you to run a local LLM for support? That is wild.
@lion what would my gpu temp be if you weren't running on it?
@lion 43c. 50c. 57c. 64c.
@lion, what? Surely the answer's to run sensors(1) or a GUI equivalent…

@lp0_on_fire@social.linux.pizza @lion@computerfairi.es yep. and if you want to ask "how to increase fps", the answer is always "decrease settings", or if that doesn't work, "buy a new gpu". nothing needs to be more than a comfortable amount above your monitor's refresh rate

@tauon@possum.city @lp0_on_fire@social.linux.pizza @lion@computerfairi.es Or "close more background tasks"
@lp0_on_fire @lion nvtop is also great (contrary to what one would believe based on its name, it also runs on amdgpu)
@lion They’ve started getting on the AI chip wagon recently, so probably want to make sure there’s a market
@lion I AMD TIRED OF THIS YOU KNOW
he/him
@lion Will it use the GPU to make up an answer for the question?
Because that would make asking it for the current GPU temperature especially stupid.
@lion at least it asks
@lion@computerfairi.es thanks to new CPU frequency pinning technology (running the AI locally), we can simply hardcode the result as 95 degrees
i have no idea if the AI is local
@lion finally. i have been laying in bed sleepless wondering what global experience i had enabled. finally there are answers
@lion the whole fucking package is kinda insane. If you let the keep my drivers up to date option active it will not just download the driver and then prompt you. No it will just start installing whenever.
@lion even better because the answer will then always be "high" due to the asking
