My only issue with AI is that its so verbose.

What we should encourage are people to simplify with AI.

There was that literal 9 page rant by the other day and people had no idea what he was trying to say (too technical language, a poor writer, and seemingly unedited). That could have benefited greatly.

is there a comparison of it running on iPhone vs. Android phones?

You can run Android on just about anything so it boils down to Linux GPU benchmarks.

I dont think you should have been downvoted. Processing and memory are the only thing that matters. (Unless we are being so nontechnical now that we just say things like Pixel 9 is great...)

Unfortunately Apple appears to be blocking the use of these llms within apps on their app store. I've been trying to ship an app that contains local llms and have hit a brick wall with issue 2.5.2

Is this an issue with Cactus compute stuff as well?

Is it me, or does the article sound like LLM output? The pattern "It's not mere X — it's Y", occurs like 4 times in the text :v

Ran it through Claude, Grok, whatever...for me, they all flagged issues (no sources, punchy phrases with repetition,...) with these content farms.

My favorite: couldn't even prove the author is a real person. They all found no record!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You would be correct. Ran the article through GPTZero, 100% AI.

AI detectors that use text as a basis are not real. It is fundamentally impossible for them to exist.

does anyone know of a decent but low memory or low parameter count multilingual model (as many languages as possible), that can faithfully produce the detailed IPA transcription given a word in a sentence in some language? I want to test a hypothesis for "uploading" neural network knowledge to a user's brain, by a reaction-speed game.

Espeak-ng.

You don't need a neural network. Traditional NLP is far better at this task. The keyword you're looking for is "phoenemizer"

It runs on Android too, with AI Core or even with llama.cpp

Its more impressive when Apple does it because they are so far behind. I remember being excited when Apple got widgets because then I could add my 'Next Alarm time' to my home screen. Made my company work phone usable on trips. I wonder when they are going to get NVIDIA cards or CUDA? Then they can actually run LLMs and not just trick people into buying it under the 30 year old idea of 'Unified Memory'.

It's kinda funny that macOS supported CUDA when it was a tech demo, but then ideologically objects to it once it's a $3 trillion business.

They've had to be dragged kicking and screaming away from the NPU model only to admit that GPGPU tech was the right choice.

As someone said we live in a strange but amazing era, where although it has never been easier to be deceived, but its _also_ much easier to uncover said deception especially on the internet.
