I've been privileged to get to help build this with @dmazieres, @GeoffRamseyer, @chambaz and a small team of crazies at @StellarOrg who are daring to tackle the hard problems head on.

Models I've checked out in the past month or so as I try to learn some of this stuff:

• redpajama-7b
• falcon-7b
• replit-code-3b
• mpt-7b
• flan-t5-large up to flan-t5-xxl

Any others? I'm largely just looking at approaches, supporting tooling, docs, etc.

Mastodon is feeling more and more to me like the armed rebellion of hackers that accelerated Linux and Firefox. There are lots of challenges with the protocol, implementation, UX, etc.. But when you start with a rebel alliance of hackers, code problems are jet fuel not friction.
