Comment on If so-called AI is basically just Large Language Models, how come predictive text on my phone is bollock-useless?

  The kind of local/offline LLMs that would work on your phone would not be very good quality. There’s been amazing progress of quantization of LLMs to get them working on weaker GPUs with lower VRAM and CPUs, so maybe it’ll occur, but I’m not an expert.

  I also don’t foresee them linking it up to a cloud-based LLM as that’d be a shit load of queries and extremely expensive.

  Openhermes 2.5 Mistral 7b competes with LLMs that require 10x the resources. You could try it out on your phone.

  That was my next question, thanks!

  Didn’t think of battery use, makes sense

  A pre trained model isn’t going to learn how you type the more you use it. Though with Microsoft owning SwiftKey, I imagine they will try it soon

    I was so heartbroken when I found out that Microsoft purchased Swiftkey. It was my favorite. Is there any way to still use it without Microsoft involved? Lawdhammercy

  I think apple has pitched this for a future iPhone, yes.

    They’ll probably have to offload that to a server farm in real time. That’s not gonna be easy.

  I guess… why not… but the db is probably huge, like in the hundreds of GB (maybe even TB… who knows), can’t run that offline.
