<p>Their own (presumably cherry picked) benchmarks put their models near the 'middle of the market' models (llama3 3b, qwen3 1.7b), not competing with claude, chatgtp, or gemini. These are not models you'd want to directly interact with. but these models can be very useful for things like classification or simple summarization or translation tasks.<p>These models quite impressive for their size: even an older raspberry pi would be able to handle these.<p>There's still a lots of use for this kind of model</p>

<p>Two things are holding back current LLM-style AI of being of value here:<p>* Latency. LLM responses are measured in order of 1000s of milliseconds, where this project targets 10s of milliseconds, that's off by almost two orders of magnitute.<p>* Determinism. LLMs are inherently non-deterministic. Even with temperature=0, slight variations of the input lead to major changes in output. You really don't want your DB to be non-deterministic, ever.</p>

<p>From my experience, LLMs understand prompt just fine, even if there are substantial typos or severe grammatical errors.<p>I feel that prompting them with poor language will make them respond more casually. That might be confirmation bias on my end, but research does show that prompt language affects LLM behavior, even if the prompt message doesn't change/</p>

<p>Infinitief scrolling is only mentioned in the title. The actual legislation focuses on addictive patterns of which infinite scroll is just one. The exact formulation will of course matter a lot, but it will not simply be banning infinite scroll, as that would be trivial to circumvent.</p>

<p>It is not immune, but it limits #1 and #2.<p>The "lethal trifecta" is a limited view on security, as it's mostly concerned with leaking data. This solution focuses on a different aspect: the ability of rogue actions (instead of rogue communications per #3).</p>

<p>This is especially true if the marketing team claims that humans were validating every step, but the actual humans did not exist or did no such thing.<p>If a marketer claims something, it is safe to assume the claim is at best 'technically true'. Only if an actual engineer backs the claim it can start to mean something.</p>

<p>> How close are we to smart dust I wonder? How small can we make wireless communications?<p>There's two limiting factors for 'smart dust': power (batteries are the majority  weight and volume of this vape), and antennae (minimum size determined by wavelength of carrier wave).<p>I believe you can fit an NFC module in a 5x5mm package, but that does externalize the power supply.</p>

<p>The problem itself might not be very applicable, but the techniques used to solve it might be.<p>That said, researching something solely for the sake of curiosity can be a valid endeavour. Many profound scientific discoveries have been made by researching topics with no obvious application.</p>
