I hate to do the "you're holding it wrong" trope, but I think you might have something misconfigured somewhere unless you missed a 0, because just past 60k tokens is such a small context window to be seeing issue in. Do you h

Thank you for the assumption, I'm actually not a developer at all. I'm from a hardware / networking / infrastructure background. I've had extensive exposure to (web) application development as I'm working close

I used LLMs to develop Whistle Enterprise ( https://whistle-enterprise.com ) from the ground up, from scratch. It's taken _a lot_ of time and effort, but this is an example of what can be developed using LLMs alone. You have

This one works well. I think it's because there's no shine to it, it's just the data, what you need, right there without trying to fluff it all out with rounded edges and superfluous stuff.

I find it such a hard thing to quantify, I know it's not helpful but you can just feel the slop seep through. I'm not sure if it's because I've iterated through so many sites that LLMs have produced that "slop"

Ahhh ok I totally understand what you mean. Yea the edge cases are absolutely where you start to feel the pain and things look good on the surface until you dig in. I think even in the age of LLMs the adage of 90% of the time is spent of th

This absolutely fascinates me. I had a friend who needed subtitle files generating for audio and using in CapCut yesterday yet none of the available stuff was suitable, so he asked if I could adapt some of my software to export subtitles. 2

I imagine it is a bit of a headache, but it is an available option you can choose. Has to be a personal debit (not credit) card - https://www.gov.uk/pay-corporation-tax/debit-or-credit-card

Thank you! Yea absolutely, but man, where to even start, it is very specific. Fundementally I didn't use any wrappers like unsloth or axolotl, although I have used the latter before a year or two back and it was good, but I needed some

I think small models have a very good niche for specific tasks. I utilise a fine tuned Phi-4 model (smaller than this one) that fits in about 3.5gb of RAM (not vram) for the document processing side of things for the desktop app I develop (

Yep and when you see it in the wild it stands out like a sore thumb, absolutely no thought into a bit of a unique design or branding. I have a few live websites built using LLMs and they will just go for default generic templates and colour
