I skimmed chad the other day. There's very little to it (by design). afaics you should be able to replicate what chad does by copying the chad system prompt into a SYSTEM.md for Pi. Then you could use it with whatever model/provid

Qwen 3.6 27B and 3.8 27B are the darlings of local inference at the moment. The only other thing anyone is using is Qwen 3.8 Flash Next, only by memory-rich people. Depending on which benchmarks you believe, these models (and the Ornith 1.5

Strange comment. "If you remove the hype about how transformative they are, they really are transformative". No. If you remove the hype about how transformative they are, you're left with what they actually are: a sometimes m

People used to say the same about Linux ext4, it didn't need defragmenting. afaics all that meant was file allocations make a little extra space at the end, so if the file expands it doesn't need to allocate a new block. If one ke

This is even more baffling because Source Sans is open under SIL which permits free commercial use without restriction. So if the goal was to save money, wouldn't the smart move be to use Source Sans for $0, instead of paying the desig

I feel you have both missed the point of caveman reasoning. LLMs are trained on human natural language, not a specialised internal-only monologue to make syntactic shortcuts. Their response should make grammatical sense to a human reader be

And from John's parent comment, "The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." is a quote attributed to William Gibson. We're all just quoting authors now.

So-called "caveman" thinking attempts to address this. The important part of "actually wait, I really need to XYZ" is just "XYZ". The model can attend to just "do XYZ" and produce almost the same vect

Our desire for better local models just happens to coincide with China's desire to destroy the western AI company business model by releasing local models. I doubt there's any philanthropy involved.
