Thanks again, very interesting.

One unexpected (to me) use-case appeared not long ago when I found myself without internet but wanting to fix some non-standard Linux configuration issue. As a Windows guy I tend to web search such things, but local LLM to the rescue!

Even smaller models like Gemma 2 9B has enough compressed knowledge that it managed to help me quickly solve my issue.

This got me thinking how such smaller, but very capable models might be a game-changer in communities where internet might not be available or too expensive for continuous use. It's almost like having a portion of the internet in a box, just add electricity.

Thank you for the feedback! This is why we are so excited to push more and more on small models for both low end and high end smartphones!
