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.

There is a good point here:

I don't understand one thing about Mistral, which I'm a fan being in Europe: they opened the open weights MoE show with Mixtral. Why are they now releasing dense models of significant sizes? In this way you don't compete in any credible space, nor local inference, nor remote inference since the model is far from SOTA and not cheap to serve. So why they are training such dense big models? Dense models have a place in the few tens of billion parameters, as Qwen 3.6 27B shows, but if you go 5 times that, it is no longer a fit, unless you are crushing with capabilities anything requiring the same VRAM, which is not the case.

but it is also le chat's main model now, so have to test it further and see how it goes!
