Just an fyi, llama is float 16 under the hood I believe. Stable diffusion is float32. Basically no machine learning model I’ve ever heard of is float64 based.. the only people using float64 on gpus is physicists/applied math people on doe supercomputers.

(Weirdly enough, commodity hardware is now on the opposite end: they used to struggle with float64 when people were trying to put physics models on commodity hardware, now they struggle with float16/float8 support when people are trying to put language models on commodity hardware.)
