Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Is this a salty Altman or are they just being hugged to death?
Considering how many billions are on the line this is very likely a salty someone.
Would be amusing if they release a new version and then make the old version completely free to self host, release it as a torrent. Just make Altman totally worthless.
They already did. You just need some very powerful hardware to actually host the full thing (or at least, a lot of VRAM).
Do they not know it works offline too?
I noticed chatgpt today being pretty slow compared to the local deepseek I have running which is pretty sad since my computer is about a bajillion times less powerful
Is it possible to download it without first signing up to their website?
You can get it from Ollama
Thanks
Any recommendations for communities to learn more?
Frustratingly Their setup guide is terrible. Eventually managed to get it running. Downloaded a model and only after it download did it inform me I didn't have enough RAM to run it. Something it could have known before the slow download process. Then discovered my GPU isn't supported. And running it on a CPU is painfully slow. I'm using an AMD 6700 XT and the minimum listed is 6800 https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/gpu.md#amd-radeon
If you're setting up from scratch I recommend using open webui, you can install it with GPU support onto docker/podman in a single command then you can quickly add any of the ollama models through its UI.
Thanks, I did get both setup with Docker, my frustration was neither ollama or open-webui included instructions on how to setup both together.
In my opinion setup instructions should guide you to a usable setup. It's a missed opportunity not to include a docker-compose.yml connecting the two. Is anyone really using ollama without a UI?
The link I posted has a command that sets them up together though, then you just go to https://localhost:3000/
It still can’t count the Rs in strawberry, I’m not worried.
Clearly not the first try ;)
Yes it can
Screenshots please
Note that my tests were via groq and the r1 70B distilled llama variant (the 2nd smartest version afaik)
Edit 1:
Incidentally... I propositioned a coworker to answer the same question. This is the summarized conversation I had:
Me: "Hey Billy, can you answer a question? in under 3 seconds answer my following question"
Billy: "sure"
Me: "How many As are in abracadabra 3.2.1"
Billy: "4" (answered in less than 3 seconds)
Me: "nope"
I'm gonna poll the office and see how many people get it right with the same opportunity the ai had.
Edit 2: The second coworker said "6" in about 5 seconds
Edit 3: Third coworker said 4, in 3 seconds
Edit 4: I asked two more people and one of them got it right... But I'm 60% sure she heard me asking the previous employee, but if she didnt we're at 1/5
In probably done with this game for the day.
I'm pretty flabbergasted with the results of my very unscientific experiment, but now I can say (with a mountain of anecdotal juice) that with letter counting, R1 70b is wildly faster and more accurate than humans .
“Again” so it failed the first time. Got it.
It didn't, I just wanted a short reply. Though it failed when I asked again in the same chat. But when asked to split the word to 2 parts it became sure that the correct answer is 3.
Here is the fun part
Certainly! Let's split "strawberry" into two equal parts and count the 'r's in each:
-
First half: "strawb"
Letters: S, T, R, A, W, B
'r's: 1 (at position 3) -
Second half: "erry"
Letters: E, R, R, Y
'r's: 2 (at positions 2 and 3)
Now, summing them: 1 (first half) + 2 (second half) = 3 'r's.
Wait, this contradicts my earlier correction. It seems I made another mistake. Let's carefully recount:
-
First half: "strawb"
'r's: 1 (at position 3) -
Second half: "erry"
'r's: 1 (only one 'r' at position 2; the third letter is 'r' but already counted in the first half).
Wait, no—this is getting confusing. Let's re-examine the entire word:
Full word: S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y
'r's: Positions 3, 8, and 9 → 3 'r's.
I apologize for the back-and-forth. The correct total is 3 'r's in "strawberry." Thank you for your patience as I worked through this! 😊
That’s a lot of processing just to count letters. Hopefully it can add numbers without splitting the number ;)
That’s a lot of processing just to count letters
feel free to ask Google/Bing/Your favourite search engine to do the same :P
Search engines are not designed to answer questions. Apples and oranges.
It’s because LLMs don’t work with letters. They work with tokens that are converted to vectors.
They literally don’t see the word “strawberry” in order to count the letters.
Splitting the letter probably separates them into individual tokens
Is this some meme?
No. It literally cannot count the number of R letters in strawberry. It says 2, there are 3. ChatGPT had this problem, but it seems it is fixed. However if you say “are you sure?” It says 2 again.
Ask ChatGPT to make an image of a cat without a tail. Impossible. Odd, I know, but one of those weird AI issues
I mean I tested it out, even tbough I am sure your trolling me and DeepSeek correctly counts the R's
Because there aren't enough pictures of tail-less cats out there to train on.
It's literally impossible for it to give you a cat with no tail because it can't find enough to copy and ends up regurgitating cats with tails.
Same for a glass of water spilling over, it can't show you an overfilled glass of water because there aren't enough pictures available for it to copy.
This is why telling a chatbot to generate a picture for you will never be a real replacement for an artist who can draw what you ask them to.
Not really it's supposed to understand what a tail is, what a cat is, and which part of the cat is the tail. That's how the "brain" behind AI works
It searches the internet for cats without tails and then generates an image from a summary of what it finds, which contains more cats with tails than without.
That's how this Machine Learning progam works
It doesn't search the internet for cats, it is pre-trained on a large set of labelled images and learns how to predict images from labels. The fact that there are lots of cats (most of which have tails) and not many examples of things "with no tail" is pretty much why it doesn't work, though.
Unrelated to the convo but for those who'd like a visual on how LLM's work: https://bbycroft.net/llm
And where did it happen to find all those pictures of cats?
It's not the "where" specifically I'm correcting, it's the "when." The model is trained, then the query is run against the trained model. The query doesn't involve any kind of internet search.
And I care about "how" it works and "what" data it uses because I don't have to walk on eggshells to preserve the sanctity of an autocomplete software
You need to curb your pathetic ego and really think hard about how feeding the open internet to an ML program with a LLM slapped onto it is actually any more useful than the sum of its parts.
Dawg you're unhinged
That isn't at all how something like a diffusion based model works actually.
So what training data does it use?
They found data to train it that isn't just the open internet?
Regardless of training data, it isn't matching to anything it's found and squigglying shit up or whatever was implied. Diffusion models are trained to iteratively convert noise into an image based on text and the current iteration's features. This is why they take multiple runs and also they do that thing where the image generation sort of transforms over multiple steps from a decreasingly undifferentiated soup of shape and color. My point was that they aren't doing some search across the web, either externally or via internal storage of scraped training data, to "match" your prompt to something. They are iterating from a start of static noise through multiple passes to a "finished" image, where each pass's transformation of the image components is a complex and dynamic probabilistic function built from, but not directly mapping to in any way we'd consider it, the training data.
Oh ok so training data doesn't matter?
It can generate any requested image without ever being trained?
Or does data not matter when it makes your agument invalid?
Tell me how you moving the bar proves that AI is more intelligent than the sum of its parts?
Ah, you seem to be engaging in bad faith. Oh, well, hopefully those reading at least now between understanding what these models are doing and can engage in more informed and coherent discussion on the subject. Good luck or whatever to you!
Oh, that’s another good test. It definitely failed.
There are lots of Manx photos though.
Manx images: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=manx&iax=images&ia=images
so.... with all the supposed reasoning stuff they can do, and supposed "extrapolation of knowledge" they cannot figure out that a tail is part of a cat, and which part it is.
The "reasoning" models and the image generation models are not the same technology and shouldn't be compared against the same baseline.
The "reasoning" you are seeing is it finding human conversations online, and summerizing them
I'm not seeing any reasoning, that was the point of my comment. That's why I said "supposed"
Non thinking prediction models can't count the r's in strawberry due to the nature of tokenization.
However openai o1 and deep seek r1 can both reliably do it correctly
