they, rightfully so, have no faith in LLMs.

West has though a history of supporting regimes far more hideous than Chinese, and ready to push narrative whenever possible. It is well known idea BTW in political thought that democracies are far more reliant on propaganda for control than authoritarian,which due to their strong grip on political discourse do not need high quality propaganda anyway.

TLDR: American propaganda is not any better than Chinese, neither have the best interests of my country in their minds.

especially base ones

Did you actually try them? I did.They generated even more "slopey" text than instruction-tuned ones.

/r/localllama is not like that at all.

I get hallucinated tool call parameters and bizarre invocations

tweaking sampler might help

It would be true, if model providers did not throttle their models. I do not have definitive proof they do but the rumors are abundant.

Chemical reactions are just math.

No, it is quantum mechanics. Physical world is not reducible to math, it has been long proven since early 20th century.

LFM models I've tried all seemed to be suffering from serious coherence issues. I found Gemmas the best at tasks requiring rock solid coherent output; even Qwen's not comparable.

Qwen 3.6 burns it to the ground.

Not for creative writing or NLP.

It feels like a pointless conversation, if no sampler settings (min_p, temperature etc.) mentioned.

An LLM is a router and completely stateless aside from the context you feed into it.

Not the latest SSM and hybrid attention ones.

The it- one is the yellow smiling dot, the pt- is the rightmost monster head.

If I offend anyone I will not be apologising for it.

What you said is simply counterfactual, so no reason to be offended.

Asimov is a widespread lastname in ex-USSR, esp. Central Asia. I personally know three unrelated Asimovs.

Local model enthusiasts often assume that running locally is more energy efficient than running in a data center,

It is a well known 101 truism in /r/Localllama that local is rarely cheaper, unless run batched - then it is massively, 10x cheaper indeed.

I think they mean that the DeepSeek API charges are less than it would cost for the electricity to run a local model.

Because it is hosted in China, where energy is cheap. In ex-USSR where I live it is inexpensive too, and keeping in mind that whole winter I had to use small space heater, due to inadequacy of my central heating, using local came out as 100% free.

Hmm...no. These two things are orthogonal. Regardless, Olmo are opensource.

1 and 3 contradict each other. Last thing people need is anti-AI hysteria.

1. What makes you think it is written by an LLM

2. Where is that rule, could you cite it?

3. How dow I know you did not use LLM for your comment?

the API-driven $trillion labs?

please post it on /r/localllama

Phi-4-14b with layers duplicated (phi-4-25b) has increassed performance. Phi-4-49b has degraded vs 14b.

Phi-4-25 is another example.

You might like /r/antiai.

duh

Slippery slopes are a logical fallacy. Every single decision moving you down the slope is intentional.

    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

TUIs sadly have become niche tech, and accessibility is rarely a concern for niche things.

"Majority of peers" has never experienced proper TUI in their life, and their opinion is hardly relevant.

But once you start adding mouse clickable tabs, buttons, checkboxes etc. you left the UX for TUIs behind and applied the UX expected for GUIs, it has become a GUI larping as a TUI.

TIL that VIM is not cease being TUI the moment I type :set mouse=a.

Hot taking, LARPing and teenage angst (caused by generational gap with those has been using TUI since 1980s) is on your side.

...which has been with us almost 20 years.

Apple has way more stringent quality gates for panel uniformity compared to even high end Windows laptops. And uniformity is hard to achieve on LCD; the probably refuse at least half of the panels.
