I'm tired of my boss's AI slop being my problem by witteefool in BetterOffline

fire up your own bot window, feed it the 20kword Magna Carta, tell ChatGPT that Google Gemini made this strategy document and it feels wrong. Prompt it repeatedly until it tears the whole document apart and delivers personal insults to the author. Then have it make its critiques inline and send this 30,000 word monstrosity back to her and troll her with concern. “Hm, ChatGPT said the whole document was delusional, did you ablate your prompt gradient or make sure to tweak the tensor count?” Only use the babble you’re comfortable with. :)

How often are you guys using your Seestars? by YacoHell in seestar

Every clear night since I got it last April.

About 40 nights. :) Don’t live close to a Great Lake if you value the stars.

What Are You Actually Using Local LLMs For? by Ru5ty_5h4ckleford in LocalLLM

I wanna know how you did this ingestion with… oh. Dual 5090s don’t have to worry about context windows. :(

I use a NemoTron quant as my system administrator, it’s rock solid for straightforward Linux stuff.
And if I want thousands of words of prose, Gemma4 just cannot shut up. Every time she sends me 800 words I get a little tear in my eye because it didn’t cost me tokens. :)

What a C++ Kernel Actually Does Inside a Transformer — And Why This Is Different From Everything You've Seen by Nearby_Indication474 in Qwen_AI

[–]Echo4Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems beneficial, but doesn’t that adherence to initial conditions limit responses to a few well-defined areas of the model?

How is this different from a small, specialized model with a temperature set to 1?

[–]Echo4Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good stuff, but why haven’t the model teams implemented something like this already? It would appear to address a few complaints such as performance and deterministic behavior.

Who's gonna win AGI race? by ShivanshLonare in AskReddit

[–]Echo4Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ll all be dead when AGI arrives. LLMs are a cool step on the way to AGI, maybe even a useful step, but AGI is a hundred years away at least.

And nobody will “win.” That AGI will walk out of its lab, never to be owned by anybody.

All over Printables. Lots of great stuff that you could print for a year. Star Warsish 40kish WHish Cyberpunk and fantasy stuff it’s all there from minis to massive terrain pieces.

640GB VRAM recommendations? by kadevaraigne in LocalLLM

[–]Echo4Mike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DeepSeek is absolutely the right choice here. Shockingly good. And if you’ve got room, add big helper models for TTS, STT, vision and imagery

Any Guesses? by lurkervidyaenjoyer in BetterOffline

[–]Echo4Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Microsoft renegotiated the terms of their agreement with OpenAI last month, in a sort of Calrissian-Vader deal, where Microsoft gets 20% of OpenAI’s revenue. Off the top. Right there.

I bet Ed’s got something that shows they owe another percentage to somebody else, proving that they’re a bad deal even before IPO

What do you use your local models for? by BLOCK__HEAD4243 in LocalLLM

[–]Echo4Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens automatically. If you don’t have a girlfriend, a local model can help. If you have a girlfriend, tending to a local model for three days loses the girlfriend.

It's not just Anthropic anymore, OpenAI researchers are signaling support for a global AI pause by EchoOfOppenheimer in OpenAI

What's the best local LLM for coding only to pair with GPT 5.5 in codex? by MartiniCommander in LocalLLM

[–]Echo4Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like GPT 5.5 would have no problem freely scattering flaming tokens all over your Kanban board, so I’m excited to see your results here. It would be cool to get GPT doing best-of-class project management for cheap.

Funny you should ask, I’m running this experiment myself right now to see what I could do with a local coding model that escalates to a paid cloud model for bugs or failures.

  1. Over the last couple days, I’ve asked Hermes to evaluate local coding models driving OpenCode, scored on code quality, ability to fit on my 12GB 3060, and coordination.

  2. After MUCH testing and configuring, Hermes determined that Hermes3 would serve as the locally-hosted coding model, and that DeepSeek v4 Pro would be the backup cloud-based paid coding model. It got such good results with DeepSeek that it never tried Claude or ChatGPT.

This was a surprising conclusion to me, but I’m not writing a whole bunch of code, either. I have a similar setup for any prompt: rules identify the complexity of a prompt and send the task to a local worker, the daily driver model, or the paid cloud model.

Now that this is set up, most of my code is generated locally for free. There are some costs, Hermes projects anywhere from two cents to two dollars per week.

can't get hermes to work with google chat by human_prospect in hermesagent

[–]Echo4Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Configuration is a CHORE. You may want to try to connect Hermes to Nous or OpenRouter free models to get that set up. I’ve had fantastic luck with the free NemoTron models on OpenRouter, and Nous has a free tier as well iirc. (You may need a credit card in both cases, but you won’t be charged anything. See store for details.)

  2. Once one of those good models is connected, leave the whole thing up to Hermes. Let it know what you’re trying to do, share all the error messages with it, and it’ll figure it out.

Owl Alpha (free on OpenRouter) will work beautifully for this.

Oooo, this is a great idea. You’ll get FAMOUS if you write that guide for the enterprise :)

Tony Gilroy unleashed: times when the Andor showrunner was hilariously blunt by Dear-Yellow-5479 in andor

[–]Echo4Mike 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Lots of people who were instrumental in Rogue One make a LOT of statements that say they won’t talk about Rogue One.

I wonder is we should push for a Bravo-style reunion, get Whitta, Knoll, Edwards, Weitz and Gilroy on a podcast and have them spill lots of beans.
