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.

opencode is well worth having. It has a better priced Zen gateway that is limited to top models, but priced as you go, and can point to same folder/container as your other tools. Access to openrouter is useful, if only that some models are free. Antigravity is good to have for generous use of gemini. If VsCodium can't access open models, then other tools can work on same project, and you just reload files they change.
Many open models at 1/10th the cost or lower, are far better than 1/10th of opus 4.6. The popularity reflects much better value. They are especially better if not doing python/js, but functional programming, even if all models are generally bad so far. agents/skills (opencode/antigravity) for models that are strong at instruction following and polyglot software (minimax pretty impressive) actually scored better than raw opus 4.6 on my benchmark, and investing in skills/agents means promise for improving whatever model is released next week.
