Funny thing is that also makes it easier on LLM / AI... Tried a project a while ago both creating the same thing in Rust and Go. Go's worked from the start, while Rust's version needed a lot of LLM interventions and fixes to

Easy to answer that one ... predictions are based upon accuracy. So if you have a int4 vs a float16, the chance that the prediction goes off is higher with a int4. But even with a float16, your still going to run into issues where your pred

Thing is, a LLM is nothing but a prediction algorithm based upon what it trained. So it missing basic calculator functionality is a given. This is why tool usage is more and more a thing for LLMs. So that the LLM can from itself use a calcu

What i do not understand is why we are not seeing specialized models that go down to single experts. I do not need models that know how to program in Python, Rust, ... when i only use Go and Html. So we are we not seeing models that have ve
