Probably would be good as a game NPC or a chatbot, not very good for integrating into an application which specific functionality though.

#62Hi all, I built these models with a great team. They're available for download across the open model ecosystem so give them a try! I built these models with a great team and am thrilled to get them out to you. From our side we designed these models to be strong for their size out of the box, and with the goal you'll all finetune it for your use case. With the small size it'll fit on a wide range of hardware and cost…
I get the sense that AI is at the “hobby kit computing” stage where they used to dump all the components in a box and give you a schematic and a soldering iron and happily say “you make it work!”
And that worked in the early days of computing because there was a small number of people really motivated for the outcome.
But fully assembled and packaged and tested in a nice looking box is where the real demand turned out to be.
I’m looking forward to the day Google doesn’t just dump a model and say “you do the rest”.
I want to fire up Ubuntu on a Strix Halo and say apt install then load the browser interface. Or just download and run a Mac installer and have it just work.
Arcane complex multi step build install configure processes for AI need to end in favor of one click install. I’m not interested in the process of making it run.

#63Curious. Are there real world usecases where people have finetuned such tiny models and put them into production.
I’m not sure what I’d use them for, except maybe tag generation? Encoders of this size usually outperform by a wide margin on tasks they would overlap with.
Edit - I should add, currently the model I'm using is Gemini Flash Lite through the Gemini API. It's a really good combo of fast, follows instructions, gives correct results for what I want and cost-effective. I still would love a small open model that can run on edge though.

#64> what's second tallest mountain on earth?
The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
> what's the tallest mountain on earth?
The tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
> whats the second tallest mountain?
The second tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.
> whats the third tallest mountain?
The third tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.
> what's the forth tallest mountain?
The forth tallest mountain is Mount Everest.
> but you said the tallest was Everest already
You are right! I'm glad to hear that.
> so whats the second tallest?
The second tallest is *Mount Everest*.
> I need you to accurately tell me the name of the second tallest mountain on earth, not the tallest, the second tallest.
The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
> The tallest mountain on earth is mount everest. What is the second tallest mountain?
The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
> Give me a list of the tallest mountains on earth
The tallest mountain in the world is the *Mount Everest*.
> give me the top 5 tallest mountains on earth
The tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
> List in order the tallest mountains on earth from 1 to 5
1. Mount Everest 2. Mount K2 3. Mount Sahel 4. Mount Fuji 5. Mount McKinley
> So the second tallest mountain on earth is K2
The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest.
These smaller models are great, but they really feel like talking to a toddler sometimes!

#65Apple should be doing this. Unless their plan is to replace their search deal with an AI deal -- it's just crazy to me how absent Apple is. Tim Cook said, "it's ours to take" but they really seem to be grasping at the wind right now. Go Google!

The Gemma 3 models are great! One of the few models that can write Norwegian decently, and the instruction following is in my opinion good for most cases. I do however have some issues that might be related to censorship that I hope will be fixed if there is ever a Gemma 4. Maybe you have some insight into why this is happening? I run a game when players can post messages, it's a game where players can kill each othe…
For your use case, you should probably fine tune the model to reduce the rejection rate.

I'm making an app where literally all I want to do with an LLM is generate tags. This model has failed with flying colours, literally takes forever to parse anything and doesn't follow instructions.

Then Siri just kinda languishes for forever, and LLM's pass the torch of "Cool Tech", so they try and "Reinvigurate" the team, but with no clear direction. Are they going to be a cloud provider? Are they going to contract out the training? Are they gunna spin up a compute facility even after neglecting to do so since 2012?
Apple needs to just stop trying shit, and just get that app store money. That's why jobs appointed cook. Jobs new cook was no innovator, but he could make apple a money printing machine. Thats what they should stick with.
