Community to discuss about LLaMA, the large language model created by Meta AI.
This is intended to be a replacement for r/LocalLLaMA on Reddit.

I used it quite a lot at the start of the year, for software architecture and development. But the number of areas where it was useful were so small, and running it locally is quite slow. (which I do for privacy reasons)
I noticed that much of what was generated needed to be double checked, and were sometimes just wrong, so I've basically stopped using it.
Now I'm hopeful for better code generation models, and will spend the fall building a framework around a local model. See if the helps in guiding the models generation.
True. I didn't even bother giving it tasks like that. I don't think AI is going to replace software designers or programmers anytime soon. Well... maybe except for simple stuff, copy-paste programming, simple scripting, webdesign and some self contained and not overly complex stuff. It's a fascinating tool, can help you do things quickly, answer questions, do prototypes. But if you throw real work at it, you soon realise it has severe limitations and isn't even close to the human intellect. Okay. Maybe you consider it heaven-sent if you studied history instead of computer science and it provides you with python-scripts to sort your data.
Journalists and people who write text have similar problems. The chatbots generate convincing text and can take over some of the work writing text. But for example if you need to write a text that is correct and factual, you'd be better off without AI. At least that's what i read in some articles about ChatGPT. Everyone needs to put in considerable effort to fact check its output, and double check everything to the point that it doesn't make sense to run the AI in the first place.
I learned the hard way to never generate anything I couldn't create myself, of at least verify its validity.
I'm pumped for Llama2 which was released yesterday. Early tests slow some big improvements. Can't wait for Wizard/Vicuna/Uncensored versions of it.
Yeah, me too. After summer vacation it's hopefully available and I'll dig into it.
It’s marginally better than original but WAYY more censored. It is pretty intrusive. It refused to write a bash script to kill a process by regexp 🤦
The first uncensored variants are already on Huggingface though, look for The Bloke. :)
I just watched the youtube video that got linked here earlier. I forgot if it was better or worse at programming than its predecessor. but it's not that much a difference. i'm just now fiddling around with the chat variant. But i'm excited for the tuned versions, too. (thrilled)
