Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

I'd like something to describe images for me and also recognise any text contained in them. I've tried llama3. 2-vision, llava and minicpm-v but they all get the text recognition laughably wrong.

Or maybe I should lay my image recognition dreams to rest with my measly 8 GB RAM card.

Edit: gemma3:4b is even worse than the others. It doesn't even find the text and hallucinates others.

Why didn't I think of this? granite3.2-vision seems to do the trick, even though it doesn't know the German letter ß. But I can live without that.

Thanks!

I can't you why you didn't. But I can tell you a trick to come up with better ideas: force yourself to come up with 10 ideas, no matter how stupid. Then only filter them once you're done.

This causes you to take less mental shortcuts. And you end up with better results (usually) at the cost of more mental effort/energy
