Lumo: the least open 'open' AI we've seen

At the moment I have been pretty satisfied with the LLMs that Kagi is offering in their standard their for my low requirement queries. Supposedly most of the apis they use are too alternative servers that host instances of the models, some claiming they don’t use your data. I am not aware to what extend open source is serviced in those models, but I have little interest in Lumo for the time being. Can someone explain to me why open source matters for LLMs?

What percentage length does the Topeak wear indicator measure?

Reply in thread

On the first, dammit of course you are right. I measured the outer, and yes it is measures 95mm to the best of my abilities.

Okay the 0,75-1% gives me some indication, and seems to align with thoughts on my crosspost on the Evil-Reddit too.

Several bike websites mentioned that for 11 speed and up, one should better replace the chain when 0.5% lengthening is reached to preserve cog wear. Now I think i should take that with a grain of salt, where it likely is a conservative target. I do think i might benefit for getting a different chain wear tool with more granular indicator points.

Anyone self hosting on Mac mini M1/M2?

I have a Mac mini m1 and run several containers to manage media, arrs and vpn. I also have a Debian vm for homeassitant. I had used UTM prior but now moved the vm to VMware fusion.

Main issue I run into is not enough ram as the base model only has 8gb. And I do not have redundancy optimised when I reboot. I have it locked with a password so it doesn’t auto run the containers or the vm.

I double the mac for light browsing too. I considered getting a dedicated Linux mini pc for the services next to a desktop Mac. But my usage is too sparse at both ends of the spectrum.
