Frontier labs should be open sourcing their old models.
Businesses build on specific models with specific guardrails and specific evals, then deploy with performance expectations.
Rug-pulling that access has real impact.

For the last couple months I've been building a fully open source LLM performance benchmark and repository - LocalScore!
It measures how well YOUR computer performs on various LLM tasks, and creates a resource for the entire Local LLM community.
Try it: localscore.ai/download
Introducing LocalScore! It turns Llamafiles into "GeekBench for local AI." Benchmark open models on your local GPU or CPU. Created by @cj_pais, dev work funded by @mozillabuilders. Learn more: localscore.ai/blog
Writing code looks different in the age of genAI. The team at @EclipseSource is working on a fully customizable copilot system for the @Theia_IDE. They’re demoing their work integrating StarCoder2 @llamafile s directly into their editor and it’s 🤯
I wrote a blog post about all the weird programming language syntax I encountered while building a syntax highlighter for @llamafile. Read justine.lol/lex/
There's been a lot of progress in #llamafile over the past few months, including improvements to CPU performance and support for new models. We've even created "Whisperfile" which is exactly what it sounds like. Catch up here: hacks.mozilla.org/2024/10/ll…
Can't believe this is a 1B model - it's so fast! Made a video for how to install and get it running for those new to Llamafile. piped.video/Lqh7egmfy4o
Llamafiles are now available for Llama 3.2 1B. Runs great on both GPU and CPU. Just download and go. Bonus: it also includes a sneak peak of our new command-line chat interface! huggingface.co/Mozilla/Llama…

We will be hosting a launch party for sqlite-vec on the Mozilla Discord server next week on Tuesday August 6th at 10am PST — come through! discord.gg/4ZMAgmrwqf?event=…
🆕 pod: The Winds of AI Winter!
latent.space/p/q2-2024-recap
The vibes have shifted...
@fanahova and @swyx celebrate 1m downloads and recap the last 3 months in AI!
Discussing the Frontier Labs vibe shift between Claude 3.5, Llama 3.1, Apple Intelligence, and the expansion of RAG/Ops into the new war for the LLM OS.
Bonus: @ChatGPTapp voice mode demo with @ethansutin!

New #llamafile release - 0.8.10 - github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llam…
Includes the first version of our new "llamafiler" server, with an endpoint that serves up embeddings at 8x the speed of llama.cpp.
The holy grail of Local AI:
🔓Open Source
🏃♀️Runs Fast
💻Runs on your machine
🌐Runs on all machines
@Mozilla is leading the charge on the new local AI ecosystem: @jartine’s work on @llamafile and @stlhood announced sqlite-vec & $100k in non-dilutive funding for all local AI projects!
