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.

I'm kind of new to local AI and wondering what's the move here? Are they trying to pull off a chrome/android situation? Obviously I don't trust any of these gafam giants but I would be really interested in running a local LLM on my M1 max (briefly used deepseek last year). My use case would be mostly chat functions to help with academic and text analysis tasks (don't worry I don't just blindly trust LLMs, I know what I'm doing), so recommendations are welcome.

Prophetic since a week later people found Google pushing AI secretly on Google Chrome. Hexavalent chrome is banned, why can't chrome be banned?

I'll further prophesize that we'll start seeing mixed on-device and cloud calling. Cloud for heavy thinking is probably in the books right now.

Next week your local tiny gemma4 will be feeding the cloud models with predicted tokens to speed up and reduce work for gemini. It only has to get it right 66% of the time for a 2x speed-up.
