> My experience trying one of the Phi models (I think 3, might have been 2) was brief

The Phi models are tiny LMs, maybe SLM is more fitting label than LLM (Large -> Small). As such, you cannot throw even semi-complicated problems at them. Things like "autocomplete" and other simpler things are the use cases you'd use it for, not "code this game for me", you'll need something much more powerful for that.

Indeed, clearly.

However, it was tuned for chat, and people kept telling me it was competitive with the OpenAI models for coding.
