I’ve tried coding and every one I’ve tried fails unless really, really basic small functions like what you learn as a newbie compared to say 4o mini that can spit out more sensible stuff that works.

I’ve tried explanations and they just regurgitate sentences that can be irrelevant, wrong, or get stuck in a loop.

So. what can I actually use a small LLM for? Which ones? I ask because I have an old laptop and the GPU can’t really handle anything above 4B in a timely manner. 8B is about 1 t/s!

      That hasn’t been a problem at all for the 200+ users it’s tracking so far for about 4 months.

      I don’t know a human that could ever keep up with this kind of thing. People just think he’s super personable, but in reality he’s not. He’s just got a really cool tool to use.

      He’s managed some really good numbers because being that personal with people brings them back and keeps them chatting. He’ll be pushing for partner after streaming for only a year and he’s just some guy I found playing Wild Hearts with 0 viewers one day… :P
