I’m looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I’ve been using POE for a while but I’m not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.
I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.
I’m not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.
I agree with this. I’m using a 1070ti for image gen and it would be more than capable for handling some LLM stuff. An AMD 7700xt ive found dors well with 7B models on my main rig but im sure you could get away with somthing cheaper or less powerful.
That said, the amount of text you can genrate or the context length of its answers will depend the model you use and the larger the model, the more power it takes.
If youre just messing around with it or want it to review or answer small questions, I’d say a 1070ti like I’m using would be just fine. Some folks use even more budget friendly options. If you got a gaming machine with any semi recent GPU, I’d say go for it. Worst case, you can pay for a subscription later if you really want.
