Hey there! Higgsfield AI.

We have a massive GPU cluster and developed our own infrastructure to manage the cluster and train massive models.

There's how it works:

- You upload the dataset with preconfigured format into HuggingFaсe [1]. Choose your LLM (e.g. LLaMa 70B, Mistral 7B)

- Place your submission into the queue

- Wait for it to get trained.

- Then you get your trained model there on HuggingFace.

Essentially, why would we want to do it?

We already have an experience with training big LLMs.

We could achieve near-perfect infrastructure performance for training.

Sometimes GPUs have just nothing to train.

Thus we thought it would be cool if we could utilize our GPU cluster 100%. And give back to Open Source community (already built an e2e distributed training framework [2]).

This is in an early stage, so you can expect some bugs.

Any thoughts, opinions, or ideas are quite welcome!

I'm solo developer

What:

Node.js/AWS lambda/DynamoDB/Kinesis for backend

Pytorch/k8s/AWS fargate for Deep learning api

Clingo/Prolog for symbolic AI

React.js/flexbox/sass for frontend

SwiftUI for iOS

Why: each tool is optimal for its use case

Impact: move fast and break things)

Software developer, whose passion is the creation of elegant interfaces with unmatched attention to details. I also understand the importance of creating highly readable and easily maintainable source code. I am constantly striving to learn new technologies and look to ways to better myself.

I live in Kazakhstan and this story is absolutely true in my opinion. Yerlan (Irlan is incorrect) just wanted to get "easy" money from foreign. I even think this was a first time when he'd wanted to take a bribe as he hadn't known how computer system works. "Cops being happy to have some "criminal" around for getting drunk and they even pay?" - lol he was just a poor student whose visa expired, he wasn't a drug dealer. In Kazakhstan, most people are hospitable. And paying for guests is absolutely normal. "The girl's story did not make much sense" - in our country sexual education is at a very low level. Abortions at young age is a big problem in poor small cities like where author have been.
