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.

You know its funny because I kinda hate when people bring reddit stuff here but I love when people actually communicate rather than just dropping links or images. So overall I like this post because your not just pushing reddit in my face your just talking about your experience there. I kinda hope that local llm kinda morph into operating system agents that are experts in the operating system where its a bit like the next run level. so like run level 3 being online terminal and 5 being graphical and this would ideally become more like the computers in star trek. I figure its programmed to answer operating system questions initially and it can be given read permission and like to run programs for you. maybe permission to browse the web and get results. app type extensions or such. Of course I could not trust it unless its gpl and community based and completely under my control to configure.
I hear you; I'm not wildly enamored with reddit either...but that convo is a good springboard.
I see almost everyone chasing bigger GPUs, more parameters, more more more. I figure when 9 people say "go right", there should be at least someone that can make the plausible case for "actually, here's why go left works".
I'm still re-writing the FAQ for my project - when it's done (and if there's interest) I will post it here.
