Yeah, my impression is that LLMs are okay at writing code, but not good at software architecture.

It's an advanced autocomplete, not something that can think, at least not on the level that humans do.

Yup, and as you mentioned in another comment, this tech is being marketed as something that it's not because companies pushing it want to convince other companies that it will replace human labor.

This is very much the case. I have a local LLM that does a fairly good job of writing code for quick and easy apps that I might need - for instance, last week I wanted to create a simple floor plan of my house and couldn't find exactly what I wanted online, so I had my machine create a web based app to do it. But, when I tried to use it to create a fairly large and complex text based adventure game when it reached a certain size my LLM just couldn't handle it any longer. That project stalled for a bit until a couple of weeks ago when Fable 5 was released... as a test I pointed Fable at that code base and in about 45 minutes it had completed the entire game engine.

I really don't like the idea of corporate owned LLMs, but I am very impressed with Fable and can't wait until the Local LLM community is able to replicate its functionality.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
