Just let them sit like this already

[ianthoni]

I recently rewatched some old smoshcast episodes when Ian used to host them. I’ve noticed more and more how he doubts his own comedy and thinks that everyone is more talended than him and that he was just lucky to be at the right place right time to succeed. Honestly it’s crushing seeing him gaining back self confidence with Anthony’s return just to be shit on by fans. I’m not surprised they canceled lws the views on the last episode are so so low. And I wasn’t surprised when they canceled sketches. I agree on some part that smosh as a company communicates with fans horribly about their projects but on the other hand I think it would be unbearably hard making a video or even a post saying yeah well we failed we don’t get enough views/support to continue this when literally everything else according to them in the company has been thriving better than ever.

:( Ian was insecure a lot. I think he still is. I remember Shayne and Amanda were talking about in Smosh mouth how Ian doesn't give himself enough credit and how he is insecure about his comedy and his talent. But i always remember Anthony saying Ian was the fun part of Smosh, the idea giving one, that's why when he left he couldn't do sketches anymore without him. And how Shayne and Amanda compliment him a lot on his talent. I wish people reminded him how talented he is. I have a feeling he always felt like he was a side kick and he got all of this bc of Anthony like he said on Anthony's funeral. But he is talented, he's the creativity of Smosh, he's the heart of Smosh. He deserves more praise, not getting called bummer or judged for things happening.

I'm sad they ended and I'm sure it all had a reason for it, views, too much money lost etc etc. So on one hand I'm sad they're not bad at communicating but on the other hand i get it, i agree with what you said it is hard to talk about this stuff. Honestly idk at this point. I'm hopeless about their future in the channels and hopeless about my status as a fan :(

[smosh-fessions]

If lunchtime time is over (let’s be real… it is). I want them to address it instead of avoiding it and hoping we forget, like it appears they are doing (which is a little insulting, I won’t lie). Smosh fans often times don’t “need” or are entitled to an explanation for things. Lots of things are personal and people don’t want their personal information all over the internet, I get that. I’m mad at the fact this was the last place we ever saw Ian and Anthony interact and we were told they would be back in 2025, and yet… radio silence. I think when a show that people enjoyed is cancelled they should at least mention it. The main content changed so much last year and lunchtime became the only place to see Ian and Anthony together. I feel fans of them and the show have earned a post saying it’s officially done rather than waiting and hoping it comes back.

I’m extremely disappointed in Smoshs communication skills.

Their communication is definitely very, very lackluster and from what I've heard, it kind of always has been.

How To Use Llama 3.1 405B FP16 LLM On Google Kubernetes

How to set up and use large open models for multi-host generation AI over GKE

Access to open models is more important than ever for developers as generative AI grows rapidly due to developments in LLMs (Large Language Models). Open models are pre-trained foundational LLMs that are accessible to the general population. Data scientists, machine learning engineers, and application developers already have easy access to open models through platforms like Hugging Face, Kaggle, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.

How to use Llama 3.1 405B

Google is announcing today the ability to install and run open models like Llama 3.1 405B FP16 LLM over GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine), as some of these models demand robust infrastructure and deployment capabilities. With 405 billion parameters, Llama 3.1, published by Meta, shows notable gains in general knowledge, reasoning skills, and coding ability. To store and compute 405 billion parameters at FP (floating point) 16 precision, the model needs more than 750GB of GPU RAM for inference. The difficulty of deploying and serving such big models is lessened by the GKE method discussed in this article.

Customer Experience

You may locate the Llama 3.1 LLM as a Google Cloud customer by selecting the Llama 3.1 model tile in Vertex AI Model Garden.

Once the deploy button has been clicked, you can choose the Llama 3.1 405B FP16 model and select GKE.Image credit to Google Cloud

The automatically generated Kubernetes yaml and comprehensive deployment and serving instructions for Llama 3.1 405B FP16 are available on this page.

Deployment and servicing multiple hosts

Llama 3.1 405B FP16 LLM has significant deployment and service problems and demands over 750 GB of GPU memory. The total memory needs are influenced by a number of parameters, including the memory used by model weights, longer sequence length support, and KV (Key-Value) cache storage. Eight H100 Nvidia GPUs with 80 GB of HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) apiece make up the A3 virtual machines, which are currently the most potent GPU option available on the Google Cloud platform. The only practical way to provide LLMs such as the FP16 Llama 3.1 405B model is to install and serve them across several hosts. To deploy over GKE, Google employs LeaderWorkerSet with Ray and vLLM.

LeaderWorkerSet

A deployment API called LeaderWorkerSet (LWS) was created especially to meet the workload demands of multi-host inference. It makes it easier to shard and run the model across numerous devices on numerous nodes. Built as a Kubernetes deployment API, LWS is compatible with both GPUs and TPUs and is independent of accelerators and the cloud. As shown here, LWS uses the upstream StatefulSet API as its core building piece.

A collection of pods is controlled as a single unit under the LWS architecture. Every pod in this group is given a distinct index between 0 and n-1, with the pod with number 0 being identified as the group leader. Every pod that is part of the group is created simultaneously and has the same lifecycle. At the group level, LWS makes rollout and rolling upgrades easier. For rolling updates, scaling, and mapping to a certain topology for placement, each group is treated as a single unit.

Each group’s upgrade procedure is carried out as a single, cohesive entity, guaranteeing that every pod in the group receives an update at the same time. While topology-aware placement is optional, it is acceptable for all pods in the same group to co-locate in the same topology. With optional all-or-nothing restart support, the group is also handled as a single entity when addressing failures. When enabled, if one pod in the group fails or if one container within any of the pods is restarted, all of the pods in the group will be recreated.

In the LWS framework, a group including a single leader and a group of workers is referred to as a replica. Two templates are supported by LWS: one for the workers and one for the leader. By offering a scale endpoint for HPA, LWS makes it possible to dynamically scale the number of replicas.

Deploying multiple hosts using vLLM and LWS

vLLM is a well-known open source model server that uses pipeline and tensor parallelism to provide multi-node multi-GPU inference. Using Megatron-LM’s tensor parallel technique, vLLM facilitates distributed tensor parallelism. With Ray for multi-node inferencing, vLLM controls the distributed runtime for pipeline parallelism.

By dividing the model horizontally across several GPUs, tensor parallelism makes the tensor parallel size equal to the number of GPUs at each node. It is crucial to remember that this method requires quick network connectivity between the GPUs.

However, pipeline parallelism does not require continuous connection between GPUs and divides the model vertically per layer. This usually equates to the quantity of nodes used for multi-host serving.

In order to support the complete Llama 3.1 405B FP16 paradigm, several parallelism techniques must be combined. To meet the model’s 750 GB memory requirement, two A3 nodes with eight H100 GPUs each will have a combined memory capacity of 1280 GB. Along with supporting lengthy context lengths, this setup will supply the buffer memory required for the key-value (KV) cache. The pipeline parallel size is set to two for this LWS deployment, while the tensor parallel size is set to eight.

In brief

We discussed in this blog how LWS provides you with the necessary features for multi-host serving. This method maximizes price-to-performance ratios and can also be used with smaller models, such as the Llama 3.1 405B FP8, on more affordable devices. Check out its Github to learn more and make direct contributions to LWS, which is open-sourced and has a vibrant community.

You can visit Vertex AI Model Garden to deploy and serve open models via managed Vertex AI backends or GKE DIY (Do It Yourself) clusters, as the Google Cloud Platform assists clients in embracing a gen AI workload. Multi-host deployment and serving is one example of how it aims to provide a flawless customer experience.

Security

In my early years of ministry on the streets, I had no money. To say I had no money does not adequately convey just how little money I had. I mean, I had negative money. I would pick up writing jobs of the meanest sort – $5 a page blah blah blah website copy for content farms promoting saunas, cell phones, and nude beaches. I would work at a hot dog stand a friend owned on the sidewalk in front…

Bro's literally playing with his hair like a giggly school girl in that first shot. It's clear that he genuinely adores him and would listen to him ramble about anything for hours.

[smosh-fessions]

Do you think lunchtime with smosh is coming back? The last podcast was like 3+ months ago and not a word. Like I get a season break but they could at least announce something?

I find it weird that Anthony is barely in Smosh content and even his own at the moment. I get that he stuggles with mental health stuff (so do i) but the silence is not good imo. The vaugeposting he does on Instagram is also a big turnoff as well like what are you hiding lol.

At this point, I don't, and I think everyone in charge of making that known who is choosing to ignore it is being an asshole for it.

Anthony is not the good communicator people have said he is.

we got lunchtime today yessssss
