How exactly do you backup an AI model anyway? How big is an AI model? Is it just a big zip file? ???
-
You simply download the file and keep it. We’re talking about stuff you can run on your own computer, not services like chatgpt or such.
-
Highly variable. Depends on model size and format. For LLMs, range would be from under 1GB up to a current maximum of ~240GB.
-
It’s a big file of numbers (“weights” or “parameters”) either integers or floating point depending on format.
-
Anywhere from 1 to several hundred GB. Quantized (compressed), the most popular models are 8-40gb each. LORAs are a lot smaller, but full models take up a lot of space.
Wait until this thread will be closed or removed too because reddit don’t like criticism of China.
Someone make a torrent and ill archive them for sure
