This is really irresponsible, there's actual data on quality and this is just crazy to assert: "Any small online community for people who run local models is at least 50% perverts." --- I get what he's saying, there's def. communities where that's predominant, but it's simply not true in the vast majority of communities. Sort of like, in 1997, saying any small community on this here Internet thing is half perverts looking at porn
It's extremely frustrating to try and reply to this because that which is asserted without evidence can't really be debunked by evidence.
I find it especially shameful that he's dragging someone's name into this wildly histrionic review, in service of trying to find a sole person to attribute to, the sole attribute that led to whatever experience he had with it.
The model is insanely good, wildly exceeded my expectations for local models, and will generate at least 18 months of sustainable value. I maintain a llama.cpp wrapper and this is quantum leap in quality. I despair that this will become a major source of people's opinions on it. We desperately need big companies actually investing here, Gemma ain't it, and pretending it doesn't work because ??? and then using it to create a corporate chickenshit narrative isn't exactly gonna help.
