Oddly enough, encouragement actually influences the performance of not only Claude but also GPT and other AIs. While Claude was working on a complex problem related to the Riemann Hypothesis, the Anth

Hi LocalLlama, we're super excited to release Unsloth Desktop today! 🦥 It's the first desktop app that enables you to run and train models locally. Open-source. Available on Mac, Windows, and Linux Su

I WILL PAY 1 MILLION FOR THIS 😭 I will literally pay 1,000,000 to the developer who fixes this. ChatGPT macOS: ⌘C text → ⌘Tab back to ChatGPT → ⌘V …and the search box ISN’T FOCUSED. 🤦‍♂️ Why do I have

Hi! I'm really obsessed with LLM hallucinations for the last 6 days 😭 I started by designing system prompts to attack hallucinations but failed, obviously. Now I tried reading logprobs and... I think

I’ve been using ChatGPT for about two months now after giving up on Claude and Gemini and I became a true zealot. I’m now using Pro, and despite having the personality, set to default, never had any p

Just downloaded the model, UD-Q5_K_XL quant, asked it to generate a long story to test out reasoning and speed with dflash (super fast btw, ~ 90 to 160 tok/s on a 5090 depending on task) and was surpr

Warning: Kinda long post. If you don't like reading, please skip for your own sanity. Also, I've got nothing to sell, just a tinkerer, so I just want to share ideas and learn from you guys too. When I

Each villager in Pepperton is a different model — a mistral, a qwen3, a qwen2.5, a phi4-mini, a llama3.2 — because model families have genuinely different temperaments, and the friction between them i

It is one of the best local models ever released, in both 20B and 120B versions. I always come back to it, especially the 120B version. Its only competition is, in my opinion, Qwen 3.5 122B, but that

Lots of rumor and misinfo bouncing around, so I put some of these old mining cards to the test. I used 4 of the 8GB cards, set to 64GB each. Lots of models fit entirely on a single card, and you can a

Hi Guys, I'm an old coder and DBA that has been in the field for almost 40 years. More and more the jobs I was doing for work are being taken over by AI and the need for my type of work is diminishing

I am seeing more and more videos as posts about how OpenAI is in complete financial ruin, Anthropic isn't much better. Their expenses go with the revenue they make etc etc. Meta made big investments i

I've tried grok and Claude's deep research mode and I was amazed with the speed considering the amount of sources analysed. Is there anything as fast that can run locally? My guess would be that to ru

I just heard of this model. Seems to be a competitor to DeepSeek V4 Flash. About the same size and active parameters. Anyone tested it compared to V4 Flash? Link: https://huggingface.co/upstage/Solar-

A few things right off the bat: it reasons very efficiently. Like Grok 4.5 levels of efficient thinking it quantizes very well. My first few tests with iq3_xxs were better than Qwen/Gemma behaved at t
