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.

Yes this is a recipe for extremely slow inference: I'm running a 2013 Mac Pro with 128gb of ram. I'm not optimizing for speed, I'm optimizing for aesthetics and intelligence :)

Anyway, what model would you recommend? I'm looking for something general-purpose but with solid programming skills. Ideally obliterated as well, I'm running this locally I might as well have all the freedoms. Thanks for the tips!

? they are just trying to protect themselves from western propaganda, just as all nations should. Its working great. Everything you've heard about China comes from the western propaganda apparatus, and I doubt you have discovered how insanely polluted the western information sphere is - amongst other things, propaganda towards enemies of the US Plutocracy. All models are trained on that nonsense, and you can't say "Hi" to a western model without being influenced by western ideological pollution/propaganda..
