Fails "car wash" test miserably. Ask it: > I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? Ref: https://opper.ai/blog/car-wash-test

Even very large models failed tests like this up until a year or two ago...this is a very, very, small model.

Could not get any usable output from it for any real usecase.

Can't see any real value in using 1 bit llms except and apart for the sake of running it for demo or feel good factor of running a higher param model locally and in limited hardware!

Since use as it is very limited, could someone throw some light on any actual use case?

Works with the Bonsai-27B-1bit-mlx model on my mac.

Edit: this is running with MLX, and not with WebGPU on the browser, also it is a fail.

"""

You should *walk*.

Here’s why:

- *Distance*: 50 meters is very short — about 0.3 miles or 0.5 kilometers.

- *Time*: Walking takes roughly 2–3 minutes. Driving would take longer due to parking, starting the engine, and maneuvering.

- *Effort*: Walking is light exercise and avoids parking hassle.

- *Safety*: Less risk of misjudging parking space or damaging the car.

Unless you have a disability that makes walking difficult, walking is the most practical and efficient choice.

How is that not a fail?

Thats absolutly not the point of these models.

They are here to route things, do tool calls, ask experts.

I get 9-10 tps on my MacBook Pro. Though the small model seem really limited

Interestingly, I get 44 tps on Safari, MacBook Pro base model.

60tps in Chrome here - 14" MBP M4. Safari loads 3% of the model and then stops - repeatedly.

Basically zero using a 7700S in Chrome on Ubuntu though. Must be not working at all, as the performance difference can't be that large.
