Meet Christopher, the EIGHT-GPU Robot Quagsire

A plushie, a dream, and $120,000 of CUDA cores.

Last time, I tried to put a six-billion-parameter neural network in an off-the-shelf Misty robot. Today, we do it all ourselves - we turn this stuffed Quagsire into our own voice-activated animated robot, build our own speech recognition, and deploy GPT-NeoX, a 20-BILLION-PARAMETER text generator, on an ultra-powerful eight-GPU, 64-core supercomputer. Why? Because I felt like it.
