I'd like to have a model that just "knows" our code base and past issues, instead of having to query them for the same reason I don't want the model to have to query a dictionary to speak proper English. I could be mista

Somewhat off topic, but I've started wondering if we can actually make local LLMs feel smarter than the frontier closed models, by post-training it for your specific use case. Say Company X has a software product which consists of a mi

Surely it would depend on your model, since they need to etch this into silicon.

It's a proof of concept that it's possible to etch a neural net into a chip and get massive performance (and efficiency) boost

If performance per watt is 100x better than GPUs (as GP link claims) then I don't think it's a hard sell at all. That's actually a cost reduction that matters.

Writing software for which a full spec is available before you begin — in this case the rules of chess — was an easy problem even before AI.
