The Coming of Local LLMs
I was able to run a LLaMa on my personal machine to run some labeling on my documents, as a test of its capabilities. It was instruct tune. 30b parameters4 example labels, and I had a binary classifier in seconds. Sure, semantic text classifiers were possible for a while, but making it accessible changes everything. Giving anyone who can use a spreadsheet the power of a local LLM (or, basically free LLMs) can make them much, much more productive. A lot of office work is clicking through sheets and doing manual labeling.It's truly wild what is becoming accessible! Really excited to see the next gen software that the open community comes up with :)
