Then, we'll have the full speed and the consequences of that. I want to see it happening on a massive scale.

This is also likely to stop working as censoring moves to the training data source.

Fine-tuning is great for really small models on specific applications, but it's not something that can essentially improve a more generic model.

That said, there seems to be a fine line in quantization+finetuning that could recover performance. It's just hard to get a hold of it (I feel it in some models, but it's hard to say yet; lots of small labs working on this RN).

Real humans get non-primary information from word variation. It's reasonable to hypothesize that it has a role in thinking things, because it endures. Our languages need to breathe over time, and flourishing might be one of the aspects that allows that breathing space.

Their last postmortem made clear that their challenges are operational. Scale puts pressure on operation, but it's not what blocks them from keeping up.

Doubling the operation doubles the operational challenges.

One team I worked with had tests for the product we made ranging from IE6 to IE11, for example. We did demos in-company where people would poke at the products before launch, play with it. When it reached production, it was rock solid stuff. Our motto was "quality is non-negotiable": we were willing to cut scope but never rush things.

I think things changed since then. "Move fast and break things" was a change, and the bill always comes.

Honestly, if MTP is available, I don't know why it's so much slower here.

- Unstarve the GPU and RAM consumer market.

- Let enthusiasts and volunteers quickly ramp up local AI.

- Reap the results that the community will most certainly achieve.

Don't repeat Microsoft's earlier mistakes. It flourished when it embraced the community and open source. If it had made that move earlier, it would have been unstoppable.

Yes, if you can control the entire market that's probably awesome. But it's also full of nonsense risks.

Been running quantized 3.6 at 110t/s on a cheap 5060Ti and quite happy with it. If 3.8 improves on it, it would be awesome.

It is fairly fast, runs on node and browser, and can serve as a lightweight wasm sandbox (although I never used it that way yet).

Don't let one affect the other.
