Detective Julia – Doing What Other LLMs Can’t, With 8 Billion Parameters.

This is a bit of fun, based on a Tweet we saw late Friday night. Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, yes, we modified the scenario slightly. But Julia’s reasoning is sound.

At her core, Julia is a Llama 3 8B LLM running on a laptop 2060 GPU with 6GB VRAM, with an i7 CPU with 16GB of RAM. The following video is of a conversation between us and Julia. The quality isn’t perfect, because we wanted to showcase this conversation as quickly as possible.

This isn’t a one off. This is something that we can consistently repeat, across multiple models, across differing hardware.
