Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
Heh, I downloaded that one just recently, I read that it was good at natural prose and I’ve been working on a little pet project to make a framework for auto-writing short stories based on a simple premise. Haven’t tested it extensively yet though.
Sadly they don’t seem to have 36B-A3B models on their roadmap any more, they didn’t do one for 3.8 either. I agree it was a nice sweet spot between speed and capability, I still use the 3.6 version of 36B-A3B for larger-scale local work. Maybe someone else will aim for that. Or Qwen4 will do something new with the architecture that makes it unnecessary.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what Qwen4 is like. 3.8 was just 3.6 with additional training, my understanding is that Qwen4 is new from the ground up.
It’s circling the drain because these are the priorities of the clowns in charge. As desired by the people who elected said clowns.
Wouldn’t have guessed that he’d be a bit of an unstable fellow.
Or maybe there are more than exactly two possible political positions in the world.
I’ve spent the last week or so coding an application using nothing but Qwen3.8-27B. I was curious how much I could do entirely with a local model running on my own personal hardware, and it turns out the answer was “everything.”
Granted, it’s not the fanciest application. But it’s fun.
To avoid the word repetition I propose “Super Duper Intelligence.”
If that ends up being our successors and legacy to the universe I’d at least like it to be saddled with a silly name so they’ll remember us.
We’re working on automating the labor too. Turns out art was just easier.
Sheesh, I hate that we’re at the point where I feel bad for Mitch McConnell. This is elder abuse.
That’s not how supply and demand works. When a market is out of economic equilibrium like this, with demand sharply rising, that is literally what drives competitors to arise and to try to increase supply to match. This is fertile ground for exactly that outcome to happen.
