can i talk to an openclaw bot using internet relay chat? if not, then what is the point
my suspicion is that i can *handwaves in the direction of kent overstreet*
you see, i have built my own LLM, using the most ethical method possible: i trained it on the entire corpus of IRC logs in my possession, 2003 to present
no giant water vaporizing data centers needed here, just a GPU, a dream and some cold hard chats
time 2 implant this brain into an openclaw and give it full access to my email
mostly because i don't want to retain any of my email
so i installed it into the openclaw meme thing. and it's not like, doing the stuff it claims it is doing.
like it is hallucinating things like "i updated SOUL.md with xyz"
i seriously do not think this stuff is real now
jfk@ariadne what model did you finetune on? For a 1B model you need something really specialized on tool calling.
@jfkimmes i built an LLM from scratch with transformers kinda loosely following the scripts the qwen people released
the LLM is basically trained on ~30ish GB of mostly furry smut and public Linux IRC logs.
*nods sagely*
@jfkimmes i am, however, using the 35b parameter qwen3.5 reasoning model for the "thinking" portion of this exercise
@ariadne In any case: as long as the final response is generated by your trained model it will never make a valid tool call since there are probably about zero training examples of the necessary JSON structure required by the tool handling in your furry smut (this is an estimate that could be quite the way off knowing the furry community but still)
@jfkimmes this does explain something: it seems to be able to invoke tools when it is planning, but then those tools do not get invoked in the final step.
so it uses tools to read files when planning, then fails to use tools when executing.
what a fascinating conundrum.
@ariadne you could build a tool that gets called to generate answers / responses by your trained model. Then qwen-35 could handle the reasoning and make its tool calls and finally generate responses / text by copying from a tool call to your wrapper.
