There’s a new announcement every other day wrt models. How do y’all keep track of them all same know what’s decent? Good grief!

And if it’s decent today, it’s shit in eight months! I tool hop as much as the next dev but this is a bit much.

I just tune out. It’s not worth knowing, following every development in the field. If something works now it will probably work in 8 months even if it’s no longer the new hype thing. Who cares.

Not using any of it is also a valid option though it doesn’t satisfy your FOMO. But nothing ever will.

There's no need to, the 50 foot view is simply that many alternatives exist and they mostly fall into 3 meaningful weight classes with comparable performance among each class's members: too expensive to use indiscriminately, too big to run at home, and too small for complex work. As for names and faces in between, the overarching conclusion is that we're rapidly approaching commodity status and those don't really matter much

I'm working on solidifying local LLM work flow so I can stop tweaking the nobs and build things that arn't AI related.

There's tons of people caught up in the AI gold rush, but the value of real products for real people is out there. Even more so when you exclude the "I slapped AI onto this"
