  "account": "I set up a local 125-billion-parameter LLM on an RTX Spark laptop equipped with Nvidia's RTX Spark GPU, an Arm CPU, and 128GB of VRAM. The goal was to run Minecraft alongside the model while it controlled a Minecraft bot. The bot, created using Mindcraft, an open-source Minecraft bot, received commands from the LLM through an OpenAI-compatible API. The bot could perform tasks like collecting blocks, building structures, and interacting with the game world. Despite the model running alongside Minecraft, the game still managed to maintain around 120 FPS. The bot sometimes made mistakes, such as not having the items it promised to deliver, but overall, it functioned reasonably well, providing an experience of playing Minecraft with an intelligent companion.",
