Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Someone linked an interesting article recently which I unfortunately didn’t save. The gist was that Anthropic and the others set out to sell cheaper workforce (I.e. replace programmers), so they can sell the service to all the big software giants out there.
Problem is, that these tools also enabled people to just create own solutions instead of buying existing solutions anymore. Or to rebuild an equivalent for something otherwise proprietary.
So instead of making workers of big tech obsolete, they made big tech obsolete (well, not fully yet, but you know what I mean).
They likely try to counter this a little bit now. Won’t work though, since open weight models have been and still are catching up.
Same shit's gonna happen to Hollywood. Actors and editors just inherited the Earth, now that you can change any footage to look like anything. That's not gonna fix a Niel Breen film. But if you've got good angles of decent actors on you-get-the-idea sets, all of that can take several hundred million dollars worth of CGI, on the cheap, overnight.
Admittedly I predicted this several entire years ago, expecting it would start within six months. Video tech took a while to get less screwy.
