well, it’s free to download and run locally so i struggle to see what the grift is

i haven’t seen another reasoning model that’s open and works as well… it’s LLM base is for sure about GPT-3 levels (maybe a bit better?) but like the “o” in GPT-4o

the “thinking” part definitely works for me - ask it to do maths for example, and it’s fascinating to see it break down the problem into simple steps and then solve each step

zack freedman on youtube created his own, and i seem to remember went through the build process if you’re interested

it’s not something you’d necessarily wear out, but apparently the utility value is very high
