Computer processes text, image, voice, video and converts between them, we called LLMs or multi-modal models. However, people may not care about whether it's an image or a sentence, they only need the right information, no matter what the format is.

I've tried to deploy LLMs on my localhost(PC), but failed. Either it responds too slowly or does not answer the question. I used llama.cpp + several models(mistral-7b, neural-chat-7b, etc) I quit. Just use the public LLMs API service. #LLMs #AI #developers
