he was getting 1.4 tokens on a 70B model. Not setting the world on fire, but enough to load and script against 70b

Also that is a very low context test. A longer context will bog it down, even setting aside the prompt processing time.
...On the other hand, you could probably squeeze a bit more running openvino instead of llama.cpp, so that is still respectable.
yeah, it's definitely not good enough for user-facing work, but if I'm working on development for something like translations, being able to see the 70b output to compare it to other models, it's super useful before I send it off to something that costs more money to run.
9/10 times, the bigger model isn't significantly better for what I'm trying to do, but it's really nice to confirm that.
