  • RTX PRO 6000 Performance with MiniMax M2.1


    Single RTX PRO 6000 - Minimax M2.1 (IQ2_M) speedThe performance of the RTX PRO 6000 when running the MiniMax M2.1 model varies significantly based on the context size. Using llama-server with specific parameters, the model's prompt evaluation speed ranged from 23.09 to 1695.32 tokens per second, while the evaluation speed ranged from 30.02 to 91.17 tokens per second. The data indicates that larger context sizes result in slower processing speeds for both prompt and general evaluations. Understanding these speed variations is crucial for optimizing model performance and resource allocation in machine learning applications.

  • Optimizing GPU Utilization for Cost and Climate Goals


    idle gpus are bleeding money, did the math on our h100 cluster and it's worse than I thoughtA cost analysis of GPU infrastructure revealed significant financial and environmental inefficiencies, with idle GPUs costing approximately $45,000 monthly due to a 40% idle rate. The setup includes 16x H100 GPUs on AWS, costing $98.32 per hour, resulting in $28,000 wasted monthly. Challenges such as job queue bottlenecks, inefficient resource allocation, and power consumption contribute to the high costs and carbon footprint. Implementing dynamic orchestration and better job placement strategies improved utilization from 60% to 85%, saving $19,000 monthly and reducing CO2 emissions. Making costs visible and optimizing resource sharing are essential steps towards more efficient GPU utilization. This matters because optimizing GPU usage can significantly reduce operational costs and environmental impact, aligning with financial and climate goals.

  • Building an Autonomous Multi-Agent Logistics System


    A Coding Guide to Build an Autonomous Multi-Agent Logistics System with Route Planning, Dynamic Auctions, and Real-Time Visualization Using Graph-Based SimulationAn advanced autonomous logistics simulation is developed where multiple smart delivery trucks operate within a dynamic city-wide road network. Each truck acts as an agent capable of bidding on delivery orders, planning optimal routes, managing battery levels, and seeking charging stations, all while aiming to maximize profit through self-interested decision-making. The simulation demonstrates how agentic behaviors emerge from simple rules, how competition influences order allocation, and how a graph-based world facilitates realistic movement, routing, and resource constraints. The simulation's core components include defining the AgenticTruck class, initializing key attributes like position, battery, balance, and state, and implementing decision-making logic for tasks such as calculating shortest paths, identifying charging stations, and evaluating order profitability. Trucks are designed to transition smoothly between states like moving, charging, and idling, while managing battery recharging, financial impacts of movement, fuel consumption, and order completion. The simulation orchestrates agent interactions by generating a graph-based city, spawning trucks with varying capacities, and producing new delivery orders, with agents bidding for tasks based on profitability and distance. The simulation loop updates agent states, visualizes the network, displays active orders, and animates each truck’s movement, showcasing emergent coordination and competition within the multi-agent logistics ecosystem. This setup allows for observing dynamics that mirror real-world fleet behavior, providing a sandbox for experimenting with logistics intelligence. The project highlights the potential of autonomous systems in logistics, demonstrating how individual components like graph generation, routing, battery management, auctions, and visualization can form a cohesive, evolving system. This matters because it showcases the potential of AI and autonomous systems in transforming logistics and supply chain management, offering insights into optimizing efficiency and resource allocation.
