Readit Newsreeeeee commented on Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models? · Posted by u/prettyblocks
I built a platform to monitor LLMs that are given complete freedom in the form of a Docker container bash REPL. Currently the models have been offline for some time because I'm upgrading from a single DELL to a TinyMiniMicro Proxmox cluster to run multiple small LLMs locally.
The bots don't do a lot of interesting stuff though, I plan to add the following functionalities:
- Instead of just resetting every 100 messages, I'm going to provide them with a rolling window of context.
- Instead of only allowing BASH commands, they will be able to also respond with reasoning messages, hopefully to make them a bit smarter.
- Give them a better docker container with more CLI tools such as curl and a working package manager.
If you're interested in seeing the developments, you can subscribe on the platform!

Building larger switching squares out of smaller ones reminds me of the infinite zoom recursive life game: https://oimo.io/works/life/
Thank you for posting this, I never saw this before. This is seriously impressive, and it would make a nice screensaver.
I created this website to follow along as LLMs are set free on docker containers. It's an interesting experiment, although not many useful commands are executed. It's striking how much stronger the o1-mini model is compared to the other ones, even with the delay handicap.
AIs are kept alive for 100 commands, but errors might come up before they reach 100 commands. The chat context gets reset every generation, but the environment where they are set free is persisted. So, every generation they build upon their last generation. Each bot is isolation from one-another, they do not share environments.
Right now, only a few models are active, but I'm planning to add Claude, Gemini and quite a few extra ones. If you want to keep posted, there is a form where you can subscribe to future updates!

I left the consultant career track for precisely this reason. It is a damned hard problem, maybe even impossible, and is an endless source of guilt and shame because inevitably there will be time where I'm daydreaming - it turns out I am not physiologically able to maintain 100% focus for my entire day. So it ends up being just creative lying, which I felt bad about.
I don't understand. When you work for a company, don't you also spend some time of your workday daydreaming, or getting a coffee, or doing some other thing that does not earn the company money?

This can happen accidentally as well. For example, the default Windows 10 wallpaper was created using a physical model, an array of projectors, and a smoke machine. Alas, the end result turned out to be indistinguishable from CG. [1]
That's nice and all, but isn't that a huge waste of time/money/resources? What is the advantage of doing it this way over just creating a wallpaper digitally?
