671B parameters! Well, it doesn't look like I'll be running that locally.

there is a small community of people that do indeed run this locally. typically on CPU/RAM (lots and lots of RAM), insofar as that's cheaper than GPU(s).

What use cases are people using local LLMs for? Have you created any practical tools that actually increase your efficiency? I've been experimenting a bit but find it hard to get inspiration for useful applications

Anyone who does not want to leak their data? I am actually surprised that people are ok with trusting their secrets to a random foreign company.

>overly tuning models just to specific test already published tests, rather than focusing on making them generalize. I think you just described SATs and other standardized tests

SAT has a correlation to IQ of 0.82 to 0.86 and I do think IQ is very useful in judging intelligence. https://gwern.net/doc/iq/high/smpy/2004-frey.pdf

It's a useful diagnostic when used in a battery of diagnostic tests of cognitive function, but to the point of this thread: it is notoriously not a good ranking mechanism.

But where's the source? I just see a binary blob, what makes it open source?

The weights are the source. It isn't as though something was compiled into weights. They're trained directly. But I know what you mean, it would be more open to have the training pipeline and souce dataset available.

The weights seem much more like a binary to me, the training pipeline the compiler, and the training dataset the source.

I have a signal tracer that evaluates unusual trading volumes. Given those signals, my local agent receives news items through API to make an assessment what happens. This helps me tremendously. If I would do this through a remote app, I'd have to spend a several dollars per day. So I have this on existing hardware.

Thank you, this is a great example!

But what do you do with these secrets? Like tagging emails, summarizing documents?

it's got more 'source' than whatever OpenAI provides for their models.

No it doesn't, it has exactly the same source, zero. It has more downloadable binary.

That’s the ‘source’ for what the model spits out though, if not the source for what spits out the model.
