How fast is #gemma3 270M out of the box on a @raspberrypi.com 5? About 30 tok/s on CPU for the Q4_0 model using #ollama. Tried using #llamacpp, got about 32 tok/s. 🤯

Extremely promising for edge compute with no accelerator! Model is only ~250Mb on disk. Can't wait to fine-tune for my IoT projects 👨‍💻

Understanding an LLM's ability to perform real-world tasks is going to be a much better method of "usefulness". I applaud efforts that attempt to quantify this.

Connecting an ESP8266 to Gemini A quick example of connecting an ESP8266 to the Gemini AI API. By Paul Ruiz.

It's been a hot minute since I wrote something on
@hacksterio.bsky.social, but today I put together a quick pro-tip article on connecting an #esp32 #esp8266 to the #Gemini API.

The price <> capability relationship of Gemini 2.0 models is really exciting right now. Using aistudio.google.com to test the models, then turn those experiments into production apps is much more feasible from a cost basis. ✨💖

Just saw a comment saying that model comparisons should only be objective and based on research papers. Completely disagree. Have you ever made a decision based on how you feel? Yeah, thought so.

Cool stuff Jason. Gemma 2's capabilities make this a worthwhile effort, so having a mechanism to quickly access it is awesome! 😎

Using LoRA to customize a model like Gemma 2 is a brilliant strategy for model deployment! You get a range of specialist behaviours, while only needing to deploy a single model + N sets of (much smaller) LoRA weights. 🚢=💎+🏋️

STOP THE PRESS!! It has come to my attention that (some) Costa Express machines at petrol stations now sell Tea. Non-UK folks: This news is as big as a nation collectively winning the superbowl.

👩‍💻 Did you know that you can use Google AI Studio's Gemini 2.0 Flash and Gemini 2.0 Thinking Mode models directly in Cursor?

To customize, all you have to do is modify the selected models in your settings:

I've observed that it really comes down to the motivations of the individual. I'm constantly surprised at how people are using NotebookLM to explore topics. If you're not just after the answer and instead the journey, that gives me hope.

Gemini 2.0 Flash: An outstanding multi-modal LLM with a sci-fi streaming mode Huge announcment from Google this morning: Introducing Gemini 2.0: our new AI model for the agentic era. There’s a ton of stuff in there (including updates on Project Astra and …

Wrote up my initial impressions of the new Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model - it's really good, and the streaming mode (where you can stream video and audio to it and get audio streamed right back) is pure science-fiction simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/11/...
