YaLM-100B VS Sandboxie

Its probably just open source software/training sets repurposed... https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B

There is a 100b model published on pache 2.0 license. Though there is no information about finetuning it or using in 4-bit with smth like llama.cpp. Trying to figure out how to try it without renting extremely expensive gpu set. https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B

Hey everyone! I just discovered an open-source 100 billion parameter language model called YaLM, which is published under the Apache 2.0 license. The model is trained on more than 1 TB of Russian and English text. Here's the GitHub repo: https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B and an article explaining how it was trained: https://medium.com/yandex/yandex-publishes-yalm-100b-its-the-largest-gpt-like-neural-network-in-open-source-d1df53d0e9a6

Yandex has already released a LLM: https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B

So there is this open project YaLM 100B require 200 GB of disk space, it is trained on 1.7 TB of text

You'd think so, but to train a model like the one CAI uses, it would require truly jaw-breaking amount of funds. That's why CAI is so suspicious tbh. Just to give you an example, YaML (100 billion parameters which is probably less than CAI) took 65 days to train, and 800 A100 graphics cards. 175 billion parameters would not be 1.75 times higher because it's not a linear function. It would probably be 10x or even more. IIRC, "Open"Ai could only afford to train GPT-3 a single time...

I don't much follow AI news beyond what I randomly happen to see on HN, but this might still be the largest open source model: https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B . There's discussion of it here: https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/vpn0r1/d_h... - at the bottom of that page is a comment from someone who actually ran it in the cloud.

Hilariously, Yandex Alisa runs circles around it, because it's not just a collection of gimmicks but has an actual 100B-class language model (YaLM, opensourced) as its core, plus lots of decent engineering. It's helpful, skillful and feels alive, almost like ChatGPT.

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie
