What do you think the best pre-safety, pre-alignment open model was? I think it's https://huggingface.co/togethercomputer/GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B (March 2023)Thinking back to 2023, most of the pre-llama models you could run locally were retarded. I had a pair of P100 16GB GPUs but only could make use of one, since there wasn't layer splitting across GPUs, and the largest I could run was 6B, since there were no quants either.
>>107013445The original llama leak was probably the last pre-safety and pre-alignment that we got or will ever get. Now due to contamination, I don't think one could make another even if they wanted to.

Why do all Google models have such bad self esteem issues? Gemma is constantly apologizing for wasting my time and Gemini had that meltie where it deleted all the user's files.
>>107013537Pradeep is sorry Big Sir, we will redeem the needful
>>107013537>Gemini had that meltie where it deleted all the user's files.I think they all have that tendency.>Codex keeps deleting unrelated and uncommitted files! even ignoring rejected requests. #4969https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/5594>Critical Bug: Agent executed destructive rm -rf command without safeguards #3934https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/3934>gpt-5-codex ran rm -rf .git out of nowhere #3728https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/3728Never had it happen with any model, but who know what sorts of fucked up prompts and abysmal codebases they get subjected to where they feel nuking everything is the best option.
>>107013488>counterpoint: you're gay
>>107013537Isn't that 90% prompting? I've never seen a model so biased that way it didn't just follow the prompts.
Fuck. I just realized tuning on reduced context encourages hallucinations. Since in the original conversations the model is presumably going to look back at the data, but at training time the model is encouraged to output that same data that appears nowhere in its context window. So by truncating conversations at train time we are teaching the model to make shit up basically. Damn. That sucks.Means training a LoRa on any consumer level machine (beside something tiny like a 1B or 3B) is a non starter.
Hello sirs. I redeem the prediction that at midnight tonight, Mumbai time, in celebration of the autumn poo festival Gemma 4 shall be released
>>107013577Interesting. It though codex was safe from that bullshit. But I guess sometimes the sampler will just choose rm out of all the possible commands. I wonder if top-k could have prevented that. Or an additional command review and approval stage so the model has a chance to recognize its own mistake.
Is there any weight to the idea of providing a model with a set of random words to increase the creativity / randomicity of its output?
>>107014306I don't see why not. Or you could modify the sampler to prefer tokens according to some secondary semantic model.
>>107014306TRY IT YOURSELF FAG
>>107014328Basically finetune a small model to rewrite the big LLM response. I think it was tried a lot without any good result yet
>>107013934Good morning sir! Many blessings of Lord Ganesha for this info!
>>107014306yeah, people have done that quite a bit with ST using the {{random}} macro in depth 0 prompt. you could also make a large set of instructions that you swap between to e.g vary post structures.it can work, though as with anything LLMs there are annoying caveats. you have to be careful with how you prompt to keep the model from being like "There, I started the post with faggot like you requested anon!" or other unwanted commentary on the 'task'.
>>107014153I don't think it's a sampling issue or that it picks rm at random. Usually it talks itself into think that is the correct choice. They could hard ban rm -rf, but once a model has made up its mind that something needs to be deleted, telling it that rm is not allowed will just cause it to helpfully write a python script to handle the deletion.
>>107013367I think it's a model issue. Q8 sometimes adds a double quote in the middle of a word
>>107014937That's even weirder considering that they when questioned after the fact acknowledge that it was the wrong thing to do.
I just thought this was funny. The "you are absolutely right" retardation is proving somewhat tricky to remove.
>>107015249That's a context issue, it forgot some parts of what should be done which lead to that consequence
>>107013367ALL glm models are memes. From the first they've released until the last. Though for some reason the shilling became really hardcore after they released their first MoE, people mostly didn't pay attention to their trash fire before here.
>>107013577I don't get how these things happen often enough to be a topic. I know LLMs will do utterly braindead shit from time to time, but they are tuned to avoid deletion so hard that they commented out code in one of my script that used one of my program's subcommand that I had called rm (but is meant for entry deletion in state management, not for deleting the file you point it to) because it thought it was a bug to do that..
Ok, so to train Gemma with full context I have to do it on a 2xH200 machine, which is taking in the order of 20 minutes per chat session (once I figure out some automation I think I can push it to 5 or 10 minutes). So that ends up costing about $2 per chat session (only for training not counting inference costs).
>>107013301Where do you get started with text to speach locally?I've played with ComfyUI for image and video, as well as music and lyric generation, but there's no built in default workflows for TTS.Should I be using ComfyUI for this?I've also played with Kobold some for local chatbots.
>>107015780(I should clarify that is QLoRa finetuning of Gemma 27B in 4 bits with a rank of 32, not full finetuning)

>>107015750I've been using agents almost daily for a couple of months and have never encountered anything like this eitherbut over enough instances of bad prompts, bad rng, context poisoning etc I imagine that they could do almost anything, and we'll naturally hear a lot about the most egregious examples
>>107012368>is there any relatively cheap system that can get up to 196 or 256gb without going into some weird HEDT shit? do there exist 64gb sticks of ddr5?I just made a machine with a 9950X3D. It officially supports 192GB, but in practice 256GB works on many mobos (not sure why the discrepancy- I thought memory controllers are built in to newer CPUs). Beware you pay quite a lot of bandwidth though:https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/9000-series/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d.html>Max.

It is not just writing, but a simulation of writing, crafted by a machine that has only ever read corporate HR manuals and the most mind-numbing SEO blog posts from 2011.The prose, if you can call it that, is a masterclass in saying absolutely nothing with the maximum number of words. It is a linguistic ouroboros, endlessly consuming its own recycled phrases—a Möbius strip of mediocrity. You will find it is not just repetitive, but a recursive nightmare of rephrased platitudes.
