I spent some time with Gemini CLI today. Made great progress on a local project until I ran out of free Gemini Pro 2.5 requests and it switch me to Gemini Flash. Then it was more hassle fixing the errors it cause... Even the Premium plan is only 1500 a day. #Gemini #Google #SoftwareDevelopment

Cline is WAY better than GitHub Copilot. For my current workflow at least #python #Neo4j #Gemma3-27b-q5

Just a call out that gpt-oss:20b got an update and it now can be shown the error of it's ways. And for some specific tasks it really is a great tool. 30k context and fully loaded into VRAM in 18GB, 87.93 tok/sec, 1.20s to first token in LM Studio - ROCm llama.cpp (Linux) v1.46.0 #ROCm #AMD

Up most of the night because your brain won’t stop coming up with new software solutions? Yea me too, you’re not alone.

We need people to use critical thinking rather than force safety guardrails to be baked into a model. You don’t dull a knife because it might cut you.
Shawn Reed (@shekari.bsky.social) reply parent
And guardrails can make models perform so poorly that they are worthless for intended purpose. Try to point out to gpt-oss:20b that it is wrong about something. In its thinking response you can see its policy preventing it from listening to you. And it is frequently wrong.
Shawn Reed (@shekari.bsky.social) reply parent
ReRelease gpt-oss:20b without the policy that makes impossible to admit its ‘facts’ may be incorrect.
Shawn Reed (@shekari.bsky.social) reply parent
gpt-oss-20b on Ollama inference speed is good but it hallucinates frequently and refuses any correction. Good luck with that.
Shawn Reed (@shekari.bsky.social) reply parent
it can run but it spouts so much factually incorrect data that it is simply worthless.
Shawn Reed (@shekari.bsky.social)
And how do I know the new GPT-OSS:20B OpenAI model is shit? How about a 20 min conversation where I am unable to convince the model that it is wrong. That my 718 Cayman GT4 is in fact a flat 6 not a flat 4. Hallucinating and arrogant. #GPT-OSS #UnuseableModel

AMD ROCm 6.4.2 with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Python 3.12 working great for my purposes. Still awaiting ROCm 7 but thank you for releasing 6.4.2! #AMD #TeamRed #ROCm www.amd.com/en/products/...

Through Steam quite seamless. There isn’t a game I have come across that doesn’t run well. Radeon 7900 XTX. local inference Ollama runs good. I had just bought a new 2tb ssd and can swap back to win 11 when needed but I haven’t needed or wanted to. I do refer the Arch setup over Ubuntu.

I moved off Windows back in Jan. Custom water loop workstation/gaming rig from Win 11 to Ubuntu 24 LTS and laptop to Arch. Even my work laptop to Mac in Q1. At this point I am gone for good.

Who says the GT4 is not practical? We got a Cisco and grocery story trip in her no problem.

#AMD, thank you for all the hard work on ROCM www.amd.com/en/products/... 6.4 is working great with pyTorch 3.2! I have been able to run a 23.8GB flux1-dev-F16.gguf on my RX 7900 XTX.

Or go with the more permanent fix, replace Windows with Linux. :P

Where is the discussions about the longer term implications of the tariffs? I hate him as much as any other sane educated person but the seeming lack of thoughtful discussion about longer term impact is disappointing.

GT4 > GT4RS there I said it. (IMHO) For one thing too many black plastic bits.
