offline Wikipedia on a phone vs llama which needs a PC:
wiki:
- 20-30 GB for the text version
- can fit on most phones otherwise use SD card /USB storage
- isn't full of AI slop
Llama 3.1 8B Requirements:
- CPU: Modern processor with at least 8 cores
- RAM: Minimum of 16 GB recommended
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3090
- doesn't run on Android or iOS
also keep in mind most people outside of tech/gamer bros can't afford the financial investment for a PC that can run it. most people can afford an Android phone
at least Wikipedia won't waste your time with misinformation. llama could be trained on the entirety of human history for all I care, doesn't matter one bit if it can't provide accurate sources and facts
