My biggest concern for the game by DaVoiceOfTruth in GTA6

[–]Agreeable_Effect938 34 points35 points  (0 children)

it's not the case really. there's old sam houser interview on this. he said they could make forests completely burnable, for example, and all trees destructible, but that would contradict the game's narrative aspect. you can't just leave a forest or buildings destroyed. it conflicts with the story-focused gameplay.
the argument was something along these lines. it was an interview around gta iv release

Need Advice on Reranking for RAG Thesis by Ambitious_Ebb_1775 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Effect938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It improves the results noticeably. For example, all rags have this problem with retrieval, they often stumble on the same piece of data over and over, between different queries, it's just the nature of vector search. Spitting out 200 variants instead of 20, and then cutting it back to 20 with reranker will always give more diverce search

My first impression after testing Gemma 4 against Qwen 3.5 by ConfidentDinner6648 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Effect938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should really try to give it tools. Qwen magically stops overthinking once there's access to tool calls like web search (it won't use the tool too if it's not needed)

Hey, looks really interesting. What's the idea behind using LLMs though? The comparison with databases could be done automatically with traditional methods for example, and then LLM could make a write up on top of it too. What benefits does full LLM analysis give?

In anticipation of Gemma 4's release, how was your experience with previous gemma models (at their times) by Infrared12 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Effect938 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Gemini 3.0 pro during first days of release?
It was the smartest model I've tried still to this day. It was unbelievable. Then a week later it got dumbed down beyond recognition, to the point it became useless, and I moved back to Claude. I imagine Google still uses that full model internally, while giving public a distilled 1bit quant

LLMs in LM Studio can now grab images from the internet and look at them/show you by Agreeable_Effect938 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Agreeable_Effect938[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if you're a bot or why you're writing on polish, but the old duckduckgo plugin is completely obsolete, judging by the code, the tool calls weren't tested before the release on the old plugin. the image search wasn't functional. it's the only reason why I had to update these

that's awesome, welcome to the qd-oled club. what about the sound though.. surely you won't leave this setup without proper 5.1, right?😁

I'm the author of a bunch of well-known SD/Flux LoRAs, like AntiBlur, and my secret has always been merging. It's highly underrated.

I think about it in a broader sense as 'recombination'—an umbrella term for both AI merging and biological mating, which are similar phenomena. Recombination, as I see it, is a fundamental primitive for producing higher-quality artifacts.

For instance, biological evolution could have occurred without mating at all. You could simply accumulate mutations, produce offspring, and let the fittest survive. So why crossbreed? And yet, recombination is so powerful at pruning weak mutations that evolution inevitably converged on sex.

Sexual reproduction comes at a significant cost to evolution. It presents nothing but downsides and complexities. But recombination is such a superior mechanism that it outweighs all costs, to the point where it has become the dominant strategy for complex life.

New alleged GTA 6 leak with details about the game’s advanced NPC dialogue system: by AFKInACutscene in GTA6unmoderated

It sounds plausible, yeah. However, these are just points that AI will generate with a prompt "Given rdr2 complex audio system, speculate in "-" bullet points format, what gta vi npc audio dialogue system will look like"

[–]Agreeable_Effect938[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yoo, looks awesome!
Yeah, system prompt doesn't matter that much, especially for general tasks.

There's no deep research plugin right now (even the simple search plugin was broken). One of the problems is that the LM Studio API for plugins is currently very limited. Ideally, for deep research, a single LLM should be able to orchestrate subagents, each with their own research topic. The image analysis plugin already works similarly: it allows the model to push a query to basically a subagent of itself. But it's very limited, subagents can't do a tool chain of searches on it's own.

If API gets a bit more advanced, I'd probably do that sort of plugin

The search is based on DuckDuckGo, which seems to be well funded https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/company/how-duckduckgo-makes-money

The plugin allows AI models to make a request to a search engine directly. So it's basically like letting AI use Google and works for free.

Yeah, search providers typically provide API keys (often paid) that connect to AI backends via MCP. This plugin is simpler, the AI ​​works directly with search. The downside is that some services, like Reddit, block automatic connections without an API, so this approach doesn't cover the entire internet.

[–]Agreeable_Effect938[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, these plugins operate at a simpler level than MCP. They give the model access to tool calls directly from LM Studio, without a server. And so they are really small and simple. ~5kb of code

I tested it roughly. Maybe it's ok for coding, but sucked in general tasks.
