#12I wonder why companies like IBM are jumping on the LLM bandwagon and training/releasing models that have no chance of competing with Llama/Mistral? To me it just looks like a complete waste of $$ because nobody will use them in any serious scenarios
IBM do a mixture of shovelware and extremely hardcore tech so they could honestly go either way with this.

On the other hand i spend my time wondering why people like you think someone should just throw away their ideas simply because there's already someone in the niche.

All I've seen from them in my professional experience is actually legacy mainframe maintenance.. Not shovelware, but very far from hardcore tech.

Enterprises think differently. They want data provenance, privacy, ability to mitigate/transfer risk etc. If IBM is willing to offer that, there will be enterprises that bite.

Llama and Mistral are already local & fulfill these requirements

Yes, but nobody got fired for buying IBM

no - here is an example from Aug 2019 EE Times:
PALO ALTO, Calif. – IBM defined at (trade show ed.) Hot Chips a new interface for the 2020 version of its Power 9 CPUs. The Open Memory Interface (OMI) will enable packing on a server more main memory at higher bandwidth than DDR, and as a potential Jedec standard could rival GenZ and Intel’s CLX.
OMI basically removes the memory controller from the host, relying instead on a controller on a relatively small DIMM card. Microchip’s Microsemi division already has a DDR controller running on cards in IBM’s labs. The approach promises to deliver up to 4TBytes memory on a server at about 320GBytes/second or 512GB at up to 650GB/s sustained rates.

Yeah if something you install doesn't work, you get the blame. If IBM supplies something that doesn't work (likely), you get to blame them instead.
