Llama 3.1 AI Models Have Officially Released
(llama.meta.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
128k token context is pretty sweet. Mistral nemo also just launched with a similar context. Good times.
How does the Nemo 12B compare to the Llama 3.1 8B?
At long context (close to the full 128K), Nemo is way better than llama 8B in my testing.
Turns out they are both very sensitive to quantization though.
TBH I didn't know people here were running LLMs. Seems like most of Lemmy is very broadly anti AI?
If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/"AI," I'd say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it's often used.
If by interested you mean willing to bullshit... Talking about AI here is like talking about evolution at bible camp in the deep south.
I dunno, with image models specifically it seems like they're the devil because of the datasets they're trained on, killing artists, and... that's that. And LLMs to a lesser extent. There's truth to all that, but there's also a lot more.
I think most people don't realize how much of an inflection point local running vs. corporate hosting could be, which is especially ironic on Lemmy.
