And now for something completely differentā¦
Mistral is BACK!
Weāre renewing our commitment to using Apache 2.0 license for our general purpose models, as we progressively move away from MRL-licensed models.
If you are lucky, and have a >=12GB video card, have fun 
(unfortunately for me, only 8GB vram, when I tested, it was too slow, less than 10 tokens per second is where I draw the line)

NEW HARDWARE WHEN? 
I know there are some that arenāt Brave fans on here (everyone has a preference, right?), but this is a feature they just introduced (still currently in Beta and Nightly, not in stable yet) that I liked in Floorp and Zen browsers. Split tabs. Also heard rumors that they might be working on the Glance feature that Zen has too.
While I do enjoy Firedragon quite a lot, I have to use Windows for work, and Firedragon alas cannot be used on Windows (not allowed to have WSL2 installed otherwise Iād use it via that). That is the main reason. If a Winblows .exe was made, Iād probably switch over, but I know it doesnāt make sense to make a Winblows .exe since itās made for Linux.
The only other one I am on is X, and Iām not leaving; too much fun, and good source of up to date news. 
Otherwise I agree with most of the rest of these; if I used those services I would switch (if I hadnāt already)!
[Edit] Oh and Iām already on Signal - have been for years and a Beta tester for them too

I take issue with that article, and many more like that:
First, the database issue, Wiz reported it and was fixed immediately (no data was harvested).
But now the serious one:
for those that do not want to click on reddit:
Ollama is confusing people by pretending that the little distillation models are āR1ā
I was baffled at the number of people who seem to think theyāre using āR1ā when theyāre actually running a Qwen or Llama finetune, until I saw a screenshot of the Ollama interface earlier. Ollama is misleadingly pretending in their UI and command line that āR1ā is a series of differently-sized models and that distillations are just smaller sizes of āR1ā. Rather than what they actually are which is some quasi-related experimental finetunes of other models that Deepseek happened to release at the same time.
Itās not just annoying, it seems to be doing reputational damage to Deepseek as well, because a lot of low information Ollama users are using a shitty 1.5B model, noticing that it sucks (because itās 1.5B), and saying āwow I donāt see why people are saying R1 is so good, this is terribleā. Plus thereās misleading social media influencer content like āI got R1 running on my phone!ā (no, you got a Qwen-1.5B finetune running on your phone).
There is no āDeepSeek R1ā of 1.5B. DeepSeek V3 itself is something like 640B !!!
Also in the article:
ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b
This is just asking for trouble, 1.5B models are ā¦ just for hallucinations (or really easy things). At least the 7B Qwen or 8B LLama distill.
So no, there is no DeepSeek R1 or V3 anyone but super computers at more than 5 tokens per second can run.
To make a comparison, it is like an article saying that if you install MSDOS, you are running Linux!

The main problem with a propeller optimized kernel is your PC has got a bad habit of flying out of the window 
Not a CachyOS fan cause they leave out files that make Plasma what it is and one has to figure which files they didnāt include and add them.
I like their pkgbuilds to build the best kernel for myself for garuda!

hum? can you give an example?
I have been running V3 Cachy packages in Garuda, no issue whatsoever, for years now.
Sure at one time they didnāt include a file that was required to be able to add widgets. on top of that they were using a file from Gnome for when you went to download files you got a totally different layout than the standard Plasma layout. I finally got the names of the files needed from them, but using a Gnome file over the default for Plasma shouldnāt of happened.

Strangeā¦Hopefully it is fixed by now 
Iāve seen everything

He has a bit too much of a potty mouth for my tastes re his narration of it but this wiki project looks like it will be useful.
