Potential Improvement
- Current 7bLLM throughput is around 3.5 tokens/second using docker form, potential improve upto 10 tokens/second when operates LLM in native mode.
- Potential increase LLM capability from 7b to 15b with system software optimization
- If ALPHA-One proven its potential, consider release ALPHA-Two which can host up to 30b LLM
