Geekmaster 👽:system76:<p>In case anyone wants to run their own <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> on their personal devices, I can suggest <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/lmstudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lmstudio</span></a> It allows you to download any major model that's out there to your own laptop/desktop, and then you can use it's Graphical Interface to interact with it in a familiar interface environment, as you would <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Claude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Claude</span></a> or <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> or <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Gemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gemini</span></a>. It will also let you know if your device has enough resources (power) to run a specific model variant: <a href="https://lmstudio.ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lmstudio.ai/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>For those of you who love the Terminal (aka: Command Line Interface or <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/CLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CLI</span></a>), check out <a href="https://ollama.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ollama.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>For starters, I suggest the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/gemma3n" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gemma3n</span></a> model (works great on tablets, laptops, or phones), or <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/llama3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>llama3</span></a>.1 for the most common interactions. While most of us geeks will have very powerful personal systems, or servers in our home racks, most people do not have high-end systems/devices. The gemma3n model is lightweight, very powerful, and a solid general purpose LLM.</p><p>What's the benefit of running LLM's locally? <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> is a big one (it's running on your local machine, not a cloud server) - so you can ask it questions against sensitive business data, PHI/PII, etc.. You can also run it <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/offline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>offline</span></a> (no Internet connection required) so if you wanted to <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/airgap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>airgap</span></a> your interactions, or play with it on vacation (on a plane, lost in the back country, etc.), you can absolutely do that - even with the Deepseek model.</p><p>I started playing with both LM Studio and ollama myself - been asking models basic questions like "what is the capital of Italy" and also more complex questions like "write me a <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/powershell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>powershell</span></a> script to add users of a specific OU to a number of Security Groups within AD" and so far, it's been very accurate. The PowerShell script llama3.1 provided worked out of the box (after I revised variables to match my environment).</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AIForward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIForward</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AiResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AiResearch</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/FunWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FunWithAI</span></a></p>
mosmann<p>my prompt: 'create a utility class A with a quicksort method inside a package quick_a' .. did this again with B and quick_b, C and quick_c .. and so on.. until E. Each implementation was slightly different.. first is plain quicksort, second some random splitpoint was added, third added median sort for small sets, fourth added ForkJoinPool out of the blue and last one just did not work.</p><p>.. still an stochastic parrot</p><p><a href="https://norden.social/tags/funWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>funWithAI</span></a></p>

Manfred Lange (he/him)<p>It definitely needs supervision. Here is another example of an endless suggestion loop produced by Copilot / GPT-4o / Agent mode. Attention span of a gold fish. Forgets what it wrote 6 lines earlier. I'm not convinced this technology will replace software engineers in 6 months time. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FunWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FunWithAI</span></a></p>
Manfred Lange (he/him)<p>An example where a classic tool for auto-suggest and auto-complete at least "understands" that the constructor expects 4 arguments. Meanwhile the AI suggests random 6 arguments, none of which match the ones that are expected.</p><p>The out-dated tool beats the AI! 😂</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FunWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FunWithAI</span></a></p>
Manfred Lange (he/him)<p>... and it just keeps generating silly code ... 😂 With that kind of code it is easy to become a 10x developer! Without AI it would take me 10x as long to create technical debt. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FunWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FunWithAI</span></a></p>
Manfred Lange (he/him)<p>More fun with AI suggesting a query interface to be assigned to the command service variable. We already have a variable for the query service. The suggested code asks for Types.ICommandService and assumes that it implements the IChartQueryService interface, which is wrong.</p><p>The AI has no concept or deeper understanding of how a dependency injection (DI) container works. It is things like this that demonstrate that AI - as least for the time being - requires constant supervision.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FunWithAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FunWithAI</span></a></p>
