hey so is there a local llm i can get (or train?) that is *just* an llm? like no system prompt, no chatbot features, just 'predict the next word'? i think my club needs a demo to de-anthropomorphicize these things
@kirakira don't know of anything for an LLM, but you can start with a very oldschool hidden-markov-model chatbot?
@kirakira you can also """just""" build it entirely from scratch yourself? you """just""" need to know how to compute some derivatives (using pencils), and stochastic gradient descent """isn't that hard"""
@r @kirakira heh, I wonder if anyone ported eliza to a modern ui
Eliza (elizabot.js)
