I've been curious as to when games would implement any kind of these new technologies, but i think they are simply too slow for now? I think we're at least 10-15 years from being able to run low latency agents that "rag"

The more i've studied i've come to the opposite conclusion. Nature is >99% magic and though some tiny slices of human friendly interfaces of reality are replicable much more is chaos, weird emergence, fields, probabilities and

With the speed the seemingly exponential developments of this field i wouldn't be surprised if suddenly the entire world tilted and a pair of googles fell from my face. But a dream.

I've been saying the same thing since ANE and the incredible new chips with shared ram, suddenly everyone could run capable local models - but then Apple decided to be catastrophically stingy once again putting ridiculous 8gb's of

Same in many industries. I have friends who are restaurateurs and people are often extremely ungrateful, demanding and straight up mean. Most don't earn a lot, margins are slim and people are late, you have to perform 100% for each dis

I think systems like yours could become extremely valuable sooner than people expect, as the alternative is effectively 100% noise. As others have mentioned, there are numerous ideological issues. However the alternative might be never enco

That's wild. I don't understand how that's even possible with a "next token predictor" unless some weird emergence, or maybe i'm over complicating things? How does it know what the next street or neighbourhood

Weird, it doesn't seem to have any info on reddit users or their writings. I tried asking about a bunch, also just about general "legendary users" from various subreddits and it seemingly just hallucinated.

I run 8b on my Macbook air m2 with 16gb's of vram at decent speed of 12 t/s (mlx can probably get 15 t/s). I use the Q5_K_M GGUF, which is >99% the same as the original. I've seen tests that there is close to no diver

Wow, that's extremely impressive in light of GPT being 1800b so a model 25 times smaller is beating it logic wise? I don't have enough ram to run 70b but i'm very curious about performance on other logic puzzles!
