  5. Tech tip: When running AI locally, use the graphics card

    Hello folks. A few days ago, I found out that the AI front-end system is much faster at processing or "learning" PDF documents when I set it to GPU, as it takes only an hour or so to learn 10 million words of documents compared to over a day using CPU. In other words, I do not have to wait as...
