Let’s talk about our experiences working with different models, either known or lesser-known.
Which locally run language models have you tried out? Share your insights, challenges, or anything you found interesting during your encounters with those models.
That’s the impression I got from playing with it. I don’t really use LLMs for anything practical, so I haven’t done anything too serious with it. Here’s are a couple examples of having it write fiction: https://gist.github.com/KerfuffleV2/4ead8be7204c4b0911c3f3183e8a320c
I also tried with plain old llama-65B: https://gist.github.com/KerfuffleV2/46689e097d8b8a6b3a5d6ffc39ce7acd
You can see it makes some weird mistakes (although the writing style itself is quite good).
If you want to give me a prompt, I can feed it to guanaco-65B and show you the result.
These are, indeed, pretty good, and quite coherent.
I was pretty impressed by guanaco-65B, especially how it was able to remain coherent even way past the context limit (with llama.cpp’s context wrapping thing). You can see the second story is definitely longer than 2,048 tokens.
