  • “Open weighted” I take to mean that the user can see what sources the LLM/AI was trained upon. Usually this information is a closely guarded corporate secret.

    As for “models” this is no different than the different models that a car company offers. Sentra from Nissan, F-150 from Ford, Civic from Honda

    If locally run or through a data center, LLM/AIs have two major problems:

    1. The results can’t really be trusted due to their tendency to hallucinate.
    2. Frequent LLM/AI usage has been proven to deskill the user as well as a reduction in cognitive ability. I’m dumb enough without getting help from a clanker.

    Assuming “run it 100% locally” means on your own hardware with network access, I see no reason this can’t happen given a powerful enough computer.











  • Ironfox on my GOS takes about 1-2 minutes to load a webpage. Even with a fresh install and no mods done to UBO. That’s longer than Tor browser takes to load the same page. No joke, I timed several pages with a stopwatch.

    Until Ironfox gets their stuff together, I’ll be using Brave.

    Edit: Seems Ironfox’s slowness is due to their DNS resolver. I turned that off and it’s quick. Later today, I’m installing another profile in Librewolf so I can sync with Ironfox and ditching Brave on my Android.
