This is why I asked this question yesterday: "Ask HN: Why don't programming language foundations offer "smol" models?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45840078 If I could run smol single language models myself, I would not have to worry.

> I wonder why I can't find a model that only does Python and is good only at that

I don't think it's that easy. The times I've trained my own tiny models on just one language (programming or otherwise), they tend to get worse results than the models I've trained where I've chucked in all the languages I had at hand, even when testing just for single languages.

It seems somewhat intuitive to me that it works like that too, programming in different (mainstream) languages is more similar than it's different (especially when 90% of all the source code is Algol-like), so makes sense there is a lot of cross-learning across languages.

On flights with shitty wifi I have been running gpt-oss:120b on my macbook using ollama. Ok model for coding if you can't reach a good one.

Are you running the full 65GB model on a MacBook Pro? What tokens per second do you get? What specs? M5?

If they're running 120B on a M5 (32GB max of memory today), I'd like to know how.

because a smol model that any of the nonprofits could feasibly afford to train would be useless for actual code generation.

Hell, even the huge foundational models are still useless in most scenarios.

This is the part in the movie where they have to convince the grizzled hacker to come out of retirement because he's the only one who can actually operate Emacs or vim and write code.

Sir the vibe coding didn’t work, break the glass and call in dev!

everyone, switch to open ai for 50% off. today only!

OpenAI's track record has been rather poor this month as well actually, look at all the yellows and reds: https://status.openai.com/

Not intending to defend OpenAI here, but their MAU (800 million) does dwarf most other AI companies, anthropic included. I do not envy the engineers there working on scaling.

That must be a beefed up MacBook (or you must be quite patient).

gpt-oss:20b on my M1 MBP is usable but quite slow.

Probably an M4 which has up to 128GB currently
