[r/ML] [P] Inferencing Llama3.2-1B-Instruct on 3xMac Minis M4 with Data Parallelism using allToall architecture! | smolcluster

Summary

A user demonstrated inferencing the Llama3.2-1B-Instruct model across three Mac Mini M4s using a custom data parallelism implementation. This setup leverages an allToall architecture, built from scratch with socket libraries, allowing the model to run distributedly even when data exceeds a single GPU's capacity. It showcases an innovative approach to running AI models on consumer-grade hardware clusters.
