Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Same here. Pygmalion-6b was one of the reasons I got started playing around with LLMs as a hobby. And then the leak of the first LLaMA and subsequently Alpaca and me finding out about llama.cpp
But we've come a long way. I remember fine-tuning character descriptions for days to make pygmalion understand how to play that character. And it could barely follow narration. But I think I was happy with the adult stuff. I suppose that's also simplistic by todays standards.
A model of today gets a fair amount of the nuances and consequences of their personalities right. And it easily follows narration without me repeating every third sentence that we're still sitting at the kitchen table and talking... I'm always amazed when there is a sufficient advancement so I can actually feel things getting more intelligent and capable.
I haven't yet tried the model/fine-tune you mentioned. I'm currently at MythoMax.
