I think it's directed at the "I don't use commercial LLMs, I just run small local models" crowd

yes and what books are they destroying?

Those smaller models are trained on the larger models. They take just as many resources to train and then you add on more training, so they’re literally worse than the big models.

What if your power comes from renewables? And if you're training private data?

Then they still used just as many resources? All these local models are distillations of the big models.

We opted for downloading as many books as possible from a number of pirates sites and stashing them on a usb drive away plan instead. Wife and son have been very busy.
