- JKCalhoun 1y agoBetter still, local LLM. It's too bad they're not "subscription grade".
- mmasu 1y agoyet - likely subscription grade will stay ahead of the curve, but we will soon have very decent models running locally for very cheap - like when you play great videogames that are 2/3 years old on now “cheap”machines
- JKCalhoun 1y agoDefinitely what I am hoping.
- SchemaLoad 1y agoI tried running the DeepSeek models that would run on my 32GB macbook and they were interesting. They could still produce good conversation but didn't seem to have the entirety of the internet in it's knowledge pool. Asking it complex questions lead to it only offering high level descriptions and best guess answers. Feel like they would still be great for a lot of applications like "Search my local hard drive for the file that matches this description"
- JKCalhoun 1y agoYeah, Internet search as a fallback, our chat history and "saved info" in the context ... there's a lot OpenAI, et. al. give you that Ollama does not.
- GrayShade 1y agoYou can get those in ollama using tools (MCP).
- JKCalhoun 1y agoHad to ask ChatGPT what MCP (Model Context Protocol) referred to. When I followed up with how to save chat information for future use in the LLM's context window, I was given a rather lengthy process involving setting up an SQL database, writing some Python tp create a "pre-prompt injection wrapper".... That's cool and all, but wishing there was something a little more "out of the box" that did this sort of thing for the "rest of us". GPT did mention Tome, LM Studio, a few others....
- GrayShade 1y agoNot sure if you're aware of it, but Open Web UI is a nice (looks like ChatGPT) Web client for ollama and anything else. It also seems to support MCP. I did play with MCP and ollama a little, but that was scripted, not interactive.
- TechDebtDevin 1y agoI use their api a lot cuz its so cheap but latency is so bad.
- Take8435 1y agoThis post is about OpenAI keeping chat logs. All DeepSeek API calls are kept. https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-policy.html https://cdn.deepseek.com/policies/en-US/deepseek-privacy-pol...
- TechDebtDevin 1y agoYea, I mean I wouldn't send anything to a chinese server I thought was sensative. Or any LLM. For what its worth this is in bold on their TOS: PLEASE NOTE: We do not engage in "profiling" or otherwise engage in automated processing of Personal Data to make decisions that could have legal or similarly significant impact on you or others.
- charcircuit 1y agoThat's not how the discovery process works. This data is only accessible by OpenAI and requests for discovery will pass through OpenAI.
