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 mean yeah, more than 6 months in AI world is an eternity 🤣
the big ones are gemma 4 and qwen 3.5
I'm using Gemma 4 and it works really really well, it's sad to me that I'm using big tech's model but it's just so far ahead of mistral and others that I have no choice
Qwen is really good with thinking turned off, turned on it has a massive overthinking problem, like you say "hi" and it'll think for 3 minutes on how best to reply
Still waiting for Deepseek to come out with v4 at this stage but Gemma 4 is my current sota self hosted model
I think people are sleeping on GLM.
Tried it out recently and I like the results a lot so far.
GLM4.5 and 4.7 was good already, now they released 5 and 5.1 https://github.com/zai-org/GLM-5
It says it's for vibecoding but I use it like I would use chatgpt and it gives useable ansers to all of my varied questions. (ofc. you always have to check for correctness, even if it's correct most of the time, which I do cause I'm paranoid)
I guess the only downside is how frigging huge it is.
Yep :D
I saw 5.1 came out however it required a data centre to run :X
Hoping to see if they release smaller models how they do
