Monty is the missing link that's made me ship my rust-based RLM implementation - and I'm certain it'll come in handy in plenty of other contexts.

Just beware of panics!

Please report any panics, we'll fix them!

Why do SWE build tools in the open that are openly hostile to their own trade? Like I can understand someone selfishly building tools for themselves, but by contributing to these efforts you're basically donating free software tools to companies that will only be used to shrink their own engineering teams by making llms more capable/efficient.

While I think all LLMs are shit, they probably eventually will not be shit, and it will because people like you contributed to their progress. Nothing good will come of it for you or your peers. The Billionaires who own everything will kick you out to the curb as soon as you train your replacement that doesn't sleep, eat or complain. Have some class solidarity.

Every AI advancement liberates real humans from drudgery and allows them to create what they want more easily.

The invention of the digital calculator turned human calculators into accountants, and that's great! We're contributing to the same process now

It liberates those who have massive resources to run gigantic models at whatever scale they want.

Corporations and billionaires will get Ti-Nspires we get Ti-83s.

I do not agree that inference will get more affordable in time to prevent harm. It will cause way more problems with the devaluation of labor before it starts to solve those problems, and in that period they will solidify their control over society.

We already see it in how ML is being used on a vast scale to build advanced surveillance infrastructure. Lets not build the advanced calculators for them for free in open source please, they'd like nothing better. I wrote a lot more in the comments above also.

If anyone has time, this is required reading imho: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/97/05/18/r...

Billionaires and corporations can hire teams of people to work for them full-time. You, likely, can hire one or two (or zero!). Not to make it personal.

These inequalities already exist
