Today messed around with HuggingFace trying to get WAN to work. I thought it would work on my MBP, but turns out you definately need a GPU to do it. I learnt a bit about PyTorch today, and a bit more python stuff.
Anyway, I am hoping my friend is going to put together a GPU server for me so I can do some experimentation. I could rent a server, but would be good to see how we can put a GPU server together through virtualisation with KASM.
Wan is going to blow peoples minds. It turns out AI’s Open Source libraries are more than rivalling anything the big boys can do. Their moat really isn’t as big as they thought it would be. With WAN eventually everyday people will be able to make cinematic quality videos easily. It’s pretty crazy stuff. Check out the video on their page.

Also today:
- Fractured my MBP screen the other day. £700 to repair! Only cost £1700 new anyway. It’s only a slight pain when i’m out and about, else I just use monitors. But the resale value has plummeted which is rubbish.
- Bought 8TB external drive so I can try out some bigger models and also do more YouTube stuff
- A few tweaks on the AI website
