Big day for people who use AI locally. According to benchmarks this is a big step forward to free, small LLMs.
If forced to characterize the attitude of lemmy towards LLM/“AI,” I’d say people here are broadly interested in the tech but critical of the way it’s often used.
I dunno, with image models specifically it seems like they’re the devil because of the datasets they’re trained on, killing artists, and… that’s that. And LLMs to a lesser extent. There’s truth to all that, but there’s also a lot more.
I think most people don’t realize how much of an inflection point local running vs. corporate hosting could be, which is especially ironic on Lemmy.
