From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ironically thanks in no small part to Facebook releasing Llama and kind of salting the earth for similar companies trying to create proprietary equivalents.
Nowadays you either have gigantic LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters like Claude and ChatGPT or you have open Models that are sub-200B.
Llama 3.1 405b has entered the chat
Waiting for a 8x1B MoE
Waiting till mixtral gonna optimise it enough to run on home computer, and then till dolphin uncensor it
I personally think the really large models are useless. What is very impressive is the small ones that somehow manage to be good. It blows my mind that so much information can fit in 8b.
True that, llms could be the future of lossy compression
