Re: Installing openAI's GPT-2 Ada AI Language Model

1) try to use the linuxulator instead of bhyve (try to remember what Albert
Einstein tells about those people that want to solve a problem without
changing their perspective : he does not spend nice words for those people)

2) actually an nvidia gpu can be passed-thru within linux (and within
windows 11 if the gpu is amd)

3) the tutorial that we are suggesting may work even if you don't want to
use your gpu

4) probably you should find the exact version of pytorch that it wants
