It depends what you mean by "intelligence". For any given definition so far, when the AI can do that, we have changed our minds about if that counts.

So, when I was a kid, "intelligence" meant being good at chess and maths, having a good memory, knowing a lot of trivia, and being able to speak a second language.

On all of these things except language, a raspberry pi and a cheap memory card beats essentially all humans.

For language, even a dictionary lookup — where "hydraulic ram" might become "water sheep" — will beat many, but I'm not sure it would be a majority.

But that's ok, we've changed what we meant by "intelligent" since then.

llama.cpp runs quite fast on a raspberry pi 8GB, beating most humans at language.


Wow, that's surprising and impressive. Thanks for updating me!
