IBM doubles down on open source AI with new Granite 3.0 models https://zdnet.com/article/ibm-doubles-down-on-open-source-ai-with-new-granite-3-0-models/ by @sjvn
If you want #opensource #AI today, your first choice is #IBM's Granite 3.0.
@sjvn NOW I see you posted this already 
@sjvn so llama.cpp/llamafile didn't work, threw an error that the architecture was 'granite', which is surmountable but instead I took IBM's suggestion to use ollama. That worked, better for code generation tasks than anything else. E.g.
Asked why it was made: I was made to help people learn about different cultures and cuisines from around the world. I can provide information on traditional dishes, cooking techniques, and
ingredients used in various regions of the world. 🤔
@sjvn Downloading IBM's 8B model to see what's what. I will ironically run it with llamafile because llamafile is awesome.
