EPFL🚀 Together with ETH Zürich and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), we have just released Apertus, 🇨🇭 Switzerland’s first large-scale, open, multilingual language model.

Ramin Honary<a class="u-url mention" href="https://todon.nl/@burnoutqueen" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@burnoutqueen</a> I found DeepSeek running locally to be good enough for almost all LLM-related tasks. The LLMs won’t get better because there is only one Internet on which to train them, and the Internet as we know it is rapidly degrading in quality due to people interacting too often with LLMs rather than web forums where they ask humans to answer their questions, and due to too many people posting LLM output as their own work online.The only reason they are scaling up LLMs now is out of the belief that giving it more token-predicting power will cause it to spontaneously morph into a super-intelligent AGI, which isn’t going to happen, and isn’t going to improve the quality of the LLM either.It is a far better strategy to try to improve on the efficiency of LLMs that we have now, so that more people can run them locally without forfeiting their privacy to the techno-fascists.<a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/tech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/ai" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/llm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/llms" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/agi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AGI</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/deepseek" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DeepSeek</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/internet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Internet</a>
