/r/localllama is not like that at all.

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.

Not for creative writing or NLP.

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

Not the latest SSM and hybrid attention ones.

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. 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?

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.
