They get this number by simply adding up all CPUs' processing speed. There is no NPU or similar: https://medium.com/@zlodeibaal/orange-pi-rv2-ai-board-scam-7...

I'm rather puzzled by how bad the COCO ground truth is. This is the benchmark dataset for object detection? Wow. I would say Gemini's output is better than the ground truth in most of the example images.

It seems more than dead and only supports small neural networks. Viable alternatives are Hailo and Axelera (https://www.axelera.ai), which is a newer.

Google Coral seems abandoned by Google. Not official but last news on their page from May 2022

It’s a competitor to Google Coral (seems abandoned) and NVIDIA Jetson. I’ve been using it for more than a year and the hardware seems to be one of the best on the market. The software (how to actually do inference on the chip) is subpar though.

From what I know it doesn’t have memory but streams everything to the chip. So there’s no limit regarding the size of the the neural network (unlike Google Coral)

I analyzed several LLMs and how well they "understand" university essays: For all LLMs, bad essays are hard to understand. But to smart LLMs, good essays make sense. This could be a way to measure an LLM's reasoning ability.

New comment by muxamilian in "Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S) Internet Service: RFC 9330"

muxamilian — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 12:26:53 +0000

While it's a step in the right direction, there's a problem if there's at least one 'malicious' actor, who ignores the congestion feedback and just wants a larger share of bandwidth. Then all other actors will retreat and the unfair actors get what they want. Unfortunately it is hard to know for a good actor if the other actors are playing nicely or not. Only if a good actor knows that there's fair queuing, they can trust L4S to treat them fairly.

This can be solved by complementing L4S with fair queuing (e.g. fq_codel) and by making sure that congestion control can detect the presence of fair queuing (https://github.com/muxamilian/fair-queuing-aware-congestion-...).

The software is actively maintained yes. The price is between 100 to 200$.
