I’ve tried coding and every one I’ve tried fails unless really, really basic small functions like what you learn as a newbie compared to say 4o mini that can spit out more sensible stuff that works.

I’ve tried explanations and they just regurgitate sentences that can be irrelevant, wrong, or get stuck in a loop.

So. what can I actually use a small LLM for? Which ones? I ask because I have an old laptop and the GPU can’t really handle anything above 4B in a timely manner. 8B is about 1 t/s!

    Object permanence, perfect recall, data security and consent. It’s the difference between seeing someone naked vs taking a picture of someone naked.

    Regardless - users, streamers, and developers are all prohibited from scraping and storing the Twitch chat.
