Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.
Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.
As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.
Rules:
Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.
Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.
Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.
Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

I don't have any good recommendations. I just upload such one-off requests to AIstudio, ChatGPT and the like. But keep in mind AI isn't perfect at math. They sure make a lot of mistakes with my assignments. I don't know what level your maths test was, AI does an acceptable job at elementary school maths. With higher level maths, it'll give both correct and wrong results by chance. Might be good enough, I don't really know.
I'd recommend Wolfram Alpha. That's not local, nor is it AI. But it solves equations, calculates and transforms and draws graphs with precision and there isn't any guessing involved.
Wolfam alpha actually has an LLM api so your local models can call its factual database for information when doing calculations through tool calling. I thought you might find that cool. Its a shame there is no open alternative to WA they know their dataset is one of a kind and worth its weight in gold. Maybe ond day a hero will leak it 🤪
Considering that digital bights aren't really physical and therefore don't weigh anything "worth there weight in gold" doesn't really make sense here. Sorry, I know it's a metaphor but I just had to.
No worries I have my achthually... Moments as well. Though here's a counter perspective. The bytes have to be pulled out of abstraction space and actually mapped to a physical medium capable of storing huge amounts of informational states like a hard drive. It takes genius STEM engineer level human cognition and lots of compute power to create a dataset like WA. This makes the physical devices housing the database unique almost one of a kind objects with immense potential value from a business and consumer use. How much would a wealthy competing business owner pay for a drive containing such lucrative trade secrets assuming its not leaked? Probably more than a comparative weighed brick of gold, but that's just fun speculation.
