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:
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.
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.
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>.
No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

I don't think there's harm in a sticky that contains the latest model releases, I agree that it shouldn't devolve into spamming automated posts, maybe weekly is more appropriate or every X days
I agree overall with your list, the question is just about how do we foster that, and I'm wondering if discussion threads will be a good middle ground until we have a reasonable flow of new posts
Either way I want to keep an eye on it and find a way to help the community grow organically
Well, a summary of recent news / developments is always useful. What about something like aicg on 4chan or just a few lines like ggerganov does with the "Hot topics" on llama.cpp's github page? Of course there's also hundreds of other wikis and maintained pages on rentry.org I'll let someone else suggest a useful format for that.
I don't know how this community came into existence. I believe we're currently mostly expats from r/LocalLlama?? I don't know if people over there know there is this alternative community? Also there is !fosai@lemmy.world which might have substantial overlap with us.
Edit: I hope i don't sound too negative here. I think you/we should just try a few things and see what's good for this community. Maybe have a semi-regular feedback poll or a stickied (monthly) post so people can complain. At this point I'm not sure what's best. If it's too many automated news posts with zero interaction, i can also complain after the fact.
And I appreciate what you're doing here.
Yeah no for sure didn't sound too negative, your concerns are definitely valid
As for whether people on Reddit know about this one, it's likely several don't cut also not sure how well the mods there would take to advertising an alternative, probably best bet is to have some high value posts here that get posted on Reddit for awareness and maybe some people will feel like joining :D
