<p>Is there anything of value in this project?<p>It sounds interesting at a glance, but it seems to be AI slop. So it's hard to tell if there are any interesting discoveries there, or just some worthless results described with performatively advanced language.</p>

<p>Note that your monitor is a QD-OLED, not a QLED monitor.<p>Despite the similar names, these are two very different technologies. QD-OLED is a OLED panel that uses QD (quantum dots) to achieve a wide color gamut. QLED is a LED backlit LCD panel that uses QD in a similar way.<p>The difference in performance characteristics of these two panel types is dominated by the difference between OLED and LCD.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, llama.cpp quantization technology has been stagnant for two years. The main quantization developer left or was kicked out of llama.cpp due to an attribution dispute. He created his own fork ik_llama.cpp where he has made multiple new and better quants.<p>unsloth and byteshape are just using and highlighting features that have been available the whole time. I am very invested in figuring out a solution to this dispute, or some way to get the new quants upstreamed.</p>

<p>LLMs produce a distribution of token probabilities which is then sampled. This sampling is the only random part of the system.<p>If you just take the most probable token every time, the system becomes fully deterministic. We don't do this as the output becomes more stiff and less creative.</p>

<p>I listened to a few episodes on a recommendation. The episodes lead you to believe that the host is some agnostic person that's just curious about these reports. They are not as the original lead is from another superstition believer podcast.<p>They also present the cameraman as a token skeptic, who is of course quickly swayed into belief.<p>They lean heavily on a host of tricks with long histories of non-reproduction when tested rigorously.<p>A "scientist" (known crackpot and woo believer) is employed to make the experiments sound. And their terrible academic reputation was explained away using conspiratorial arguments.<p>I found TT wholly unconvincing and consider it a scam to get people to pay for the actual evidence. I won't pay of course and confidently assume it to be poor based on the publicly available material.</p>

<p>The version of llama.cpp that Llamafile uses supports structured outputs. Don't waste your time with bloat like langchain.<p>Think about why langchain has dozens of adapters that are all targeting services that describe themselves as OAI compatible, Llamafile included.<p>I'd bet you could point some of them at Llamafile and get structured outputs.<p>Note that they can be made 100% reliable when done properly. They're not done properly in this article.</p>

<p>I gave up after it didn't let me see the prompt that went into the LLM, without using their proprietary service.
I'd recommend just using the API directly. They're very simple.
There might be some simpler wrapper library if you want all the providers and can't be bothered to implement the support for each. Vercel's ai-sdk seems decent for JS.</p>
