a well made (as in, unsloth) smaller quant will help a good amount here, without a notable reduction in performance or increase in perplexity

the vite Homepage lags on both an A55 and s23fe regardless, which bears at least some irony

oh? I used it in t3 chat before, with traits `concise` `avoid unnecessary flattery/affirmation/praise` `witty` `feel free to match potential user's sarcasm`

and it does use that sarcasm permission at times (I still dislike the way it generally communicates)

And now, 26 years later, I have 6 CPU cores, plus SMT, each running at over 4GHz... and the Windows explorer has noticeable loading time at startup and even during clicks :)

it's even worse on mobile for me: any time there's a full screen animation, the site lags to a crawl – as in, 500ms+ lag spikes and aingle-digit FPS

hilarious if true, their "gpt-oss-20b" gets it right - however, it still fails on e.g. the German compound word "Dampfschifffahrt" (Dampf-Schiff-Fahrt, steam-ship-journey/ride) because it assumes it's "ff" not "fff"

If you check the app description, there's a GitHub link, which in turn has an f-droid link you can use.

But you're not missing out since `isUserAGoat()` will return false on Android >=11 anyway and `isUserAMonkey()` will return true if and only if you're using the monkey test suite.
