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.

Ah thank you for the trove of information. What would be the best general knowledge model according to you?
Well, I'm not that up to date anymore. I think MythoMax 13b is pretty solid. Also for knowledge. But I can't be bothered anymore to read up on things twice weekly. That news is probably already 3 weeks old and there will be a (slightly) better one out there now. And it gets outperformed by pretty much every one of the big 70b models. But I can't run them on my hardware, so I wouldn't know.
This benchmark ranks them by several scientific tests. You can hide the 70b models and scarlett-33b seems to be a good contender. Or the older Platypus models directly below. But be cautious, sometimes these models look better on paper than they really are.
Also regarding 'knowledge': I don't know about your application. Just in case you're not aware of this... Language models hallucinate and regularly just make up stuff. Even expensive and big models will do this. The models we play with, even more so. Just be aware of it.
And lastly: There is another good community here on Lemmy: [email protected] You can find a few tutorials and more people there, too. And have a look at the 'About' section or stickied posts there. They linked more benchmarks and info.
Alright, thanks for the info & additional pointers.
