Hey community!

SOGS compression keeps coming up here as a go-to method for reducing Gaussian Splatting model sizes. I put together a deep dive into how SOGS actually works under the hood, with some practical insights on how it can be used in production.

The article stays fairly high-level, but I'm happy to dive into specifics in the comments. I learned quite a bit from implementing my own version of SOGS compression.

Memory is not in any way or shape some sort of crucial advantage, you were just tricked into thinking that because it's used for market segmentation and nobody would slaughter their datacenter profits cash cow. The inference and god forbid training on consumer Apple hardware is terrible and behind.

Show me another consumer hardware that handles inference and/or training better. How many RTX5090s would you need?

For some time I have a feeling that Apple actually IS playing the hardware game in the age of AI. Even though they are not actively innovating on the AI software or shipping products with AI, their hardware (especially the unified memory) is great for running large models locally.

You can't get a consumer-grade GPU with enough VRAM to run a large model, but you can do so with macbooks.

I wonder if doubling down on that and shipping devices that let you run third party AI models locally and privately will be their path.

If only they made their unified memory faster as that seems to be the biggest bottleneck regarding LLMs and their tk/s performance.

It's weird to see only one word at the time. I don't think this reflects my true typing speed as I have a tiny pause to read the word once it shows on the screen. On the other hand, I'm able to read multiple words ahead as long as I can see them and naturally remove the pause.

Working on a platform to host and share 3D Gaussian Splatting models.

The key goal is that the creators of 3DGS models can use Blurry as a powerful tool to build the 3D experience that is performant, simple, and aesthetically pleasant for end users (viewers).

3DGS models can be shared via a link or embedded on a website, notion, etc..
