And, that, kids, is why your math department should invest in an open-source model running locally on your own secure hardware that isn’t backdoored by Silicon Valley tech bros out to steal your work!

🤯 How about a 64GB GA100 for $1,500? 🔥Nvidia sold this GPU with 8GB of memory. Local AI hackers unlocked 64GB of HBM2e AND its crippled Tensor Cores. Local AI hackers have now unlocked ... 🔥 8GB → 64GB HBM2e 🔥 crippled Tensor/SM compute 🔥 PCIe Gen1 → Gen2 Prices of used CMP 170HX are already shooting 🆙 The NVIDIA CMP 170HX, a 2021 crypto-mining card built from GA100 silicon, was sold by NVIDIA, but they nerfed it! 🔫 🔒 8GB HBM2e 🔒 throttled Tensor/SM compute 🔒 restricted PCIe 🎯The open-source CMP Unlocker can now turn the 8GB version into: 🔥 64GB HBM2e 👀 🔥 full SM compute throughput 🔥 PCIe Gen2 Here is what the author benchmarked... 🧮 Tensor throughput 6.3 → 193 TFLOPS 🦙 Llama 2 7B Q4_0 / llama.cpp pp512 599.6 → 3,468 tok/s That's a 5.8× increase in prompt processing. They dug deeper and found what appears to be a deliberate compute throttle ... 🐌 Locked → 256 cycles per MMA instruction 🚀 Unlocked → 24 cycles 🎉The card suddenly gets roughly95% of A100 per-SM Tensor throughput in their test. And remember ... this is now a 64GB HBM2e Local AI GPU. 👀 Here are the caveats ... ⚠️ Linux + patched NVIDIA open driver ⚠️ Secure Boot off ⚠️ PCIe still only Gen2 x4 without hardware mods ⚠️ unlocked memory has no ECC ⚠️ community hack — definitely enthusiast territory 🔗 Reddit: r/LocalLLM/comments/1vulabl/ 🔗 GitHub: /amoghmunikote/cmpunlocker

To my mining friends you can load the jetski miner github.com/jtskxx/PEARLSKI-M… and it will unlock your 170hx's. then run your normal miner and your good for mining. Personally i'm a fan of @TwhitNub101 's pool.. pearl.alphapool.tech/

hey @_kernelcon_ the ESP32 BTC Mining project is available now. Find @themattvirus in the Hardware Hacking Village to work through the project hackspace.io/projects
