#phi3:mini
should have used a local phi3 mini

If this approach makes Phi3-mini-3.8B better at math than o1-preview, what happens when the same thing is done with an o1/o3-class model?

Microsoft releases rStar-Math: "Small LLMs can master math reasoning with self-evolved deep thinking"
It improves Qwen2.5-Math-7B from 58.8% to 90.0% and Phi3-mini-3.8B from 41.4% to 86.4%, surpassing o1-preview by +4.5% and +0.9%

interesting news from Docugami, who has always told me they can get LLM-level results from small models by being very focused on their domain (business documents); they're using Phi3-mini and Ministral-8B for mathematical reasoning (which documents like contracts need)

I just ran an AI model #phi3:mini on my home TrunNAS server.

Local AI is indeed the way forward. I'm researching small scale LLMs like phi3-mini, Llama 3.1, etc. which can work in constrained environments like my laptop.

In case you are wondering, the new Microsoft mini LLM - phi3, can handle code generation, in this case, SQL.

I compared the runtime (locally on CPU) with respect to codellama:7B using Ollama, and surprisingly the Phi3 runtime was significantly slower.

On an intel Mac?
You are going to struggle without a external graphics card and a lot of RAM.

RAM being the biggest constraint, ultimately CPU/integrated graphics will be slow, without the RAM it will be unusuable.

Maybe try ollama.com/library/phi3 mini which should work.
phi3
Phi-3 is a family of lightweight 3B (Mini) and 14B (Medium) state-of-the-art open models by Microsoft.

Been having a blast running models, checking GPU vs CPU split, optimizing. Now offloading less to CPU on llama3.1:8b.

Results so far:
llama3.2:3b, 100% GPU
phi3:mini, 100% GPU
llama3.1:8b, 55/45 split
mistral:7b, 63/37 split

There are many advantages. I like to try tiny models like Phi3-mini or Gemma3 4B and to enhance their performance. You can develop simple agents and try to solve basic conversational tasks with them, like orchestration. Some of them even capable of tool calling, but it's not stable yet

UbuntuにOllamaいれた。モデルはPhi3:mini。モンハンで遊びたいしGPU買おうかと思っているけどLLMとかML周りへの流用もとっても楽しみ。多分1月になったら買う。

I've been investigating whether small #ai models like #llama3 and #phi3 generalise well to bio-medical Q&A use cases. Small models that don't require data centres full of GPUs to run are starting to become competitive with big commercial LLMs. brainsteam.co.uk/2024/04/26/c...

Results of rStar-Math:

• After four rounds, 90% of the 747k problems were successfully covered with high-quality reasoning steps.

• It raised the accuracy of SLMs:
- Qwen2.5-Math-7B from 58.8% to 90.0%
- Phi3-mini-3.8B from 41.4% to 86.4%

• It solves 8 out of 15 problems from Math Olympiad.

🚀 ¡Phi3 Mini: La IA en Dispositivos Móviles! 🚀

Es un modelo de IA compacto desarrollado por Microsoft.

Cuenta con variaciones con 128K, 3.8B, 7B y 13B de parámetros.

supera a modelos más grandes de competidores como Llama3 y GPT-3.

Funciona en dispositivos móviles, incluyendo el iPhone 15

Idk who thought of the genius idea for recall but it's very funny how this didn't come up for them.

Also, their point would be to run LLMs locally like Phi3-Small and Mini but they probably think it's immature still due to bad NPU sdks on most if not all NPU out there.

For reference, the local lineup here: llama3.2:1b, gemma2:2b, phi3:mini and gemma3:4b for fast agentic steps, qwen3.5:9b/27b when you want heavier reasoning, plus nomic-embed-text for RAG. The gateway routes per task, so you mix small+fast with big+smart.

Experimente mit ein paar Modellen als Helfer im privaten Netzwerk — später via VS Code.

饒舌すぎるけど、なんとなくphi4とphi4-miniが自分の書くプロンプトとは相性が良さそうな気がする
饒舌もphi3とかに比べるとマシな気がするしw

Need emojis? Microsoft Phi3-mini got you covered. If that's not worth the double size compared to qwen2:1.5b
