EXO Labs has penned a detailed blog post about running Llama on Windows 98 and demonstrated a rather powerful AI large language model (LLM) running on a 26-year-old Windows 98 Pentium II PC in a brief video on social media. The video shows an ancient Elonex Pentium II @ 350 MHz booting into Windows 98, and then EXO then fires up its custom pure C inference engine based on Andrej Karpathy's Llama2.c

SemiKong, a new LLM trained by Aitomatic and its partners in the "AI Alliance", is the world's first large language model specifically crafted to serve the semiconductor industry's needs. SemiKong seeks to become part of the workflows of semiconductor design companies and act as a digital expert in the field, contributing to getting new chips out the door significantly faster.

According to Aitomatic, the company responsible for developing the SemiKong LLM, the semiconductor industry desperately needs to collect expert information.
