This tells me that the max throughput for the models I'm running on my hardware is lower than it actually is. Please allow us to tweak all the variables instead of locking me in to whatever rate you found by searching
Saying that a human teacher is equivalent to an LLM is derogatory to the teachers and exaggerating the capabilities of the LLM. I say this as someone who uses these things daily in my work and personal life. Let's not murky the waters with complete falsehoods
LLMs have been better than many teachers I've had in my life. To no fault of the teachers, it's hard to compete with something that has understanding of every subject, is hooked up to the internet, and is given 1:1 time with the person learning at any time of the day, answering promptly.
LLMs are very good at convincing people they are learning, because they give answers quickly and fairly accurately. But that makes them bad teachers, not better teachers. The fact that LLMs are good problem solvers is to their detriment when it comes to teaching. We don't want to solve problems in this domain, we want to slowly trickle information and build practice so students can solve problems.
I think people conflate productivity for learning. LLMs can greatly help with productivity. But... so can hiring an employee. Well, what have you learned? Nothing, you outsourced 90% of it. You decidedly learned less than if you were less productive and did it yourself.
LLMs have enormous capacity for supporting a person who is motivated to learn and wants individualized support and instruction. That doesn’t describe all students and there’s no reason why seat time in the classroom should be used that way - students can still use an LLM to help them learn if they’re motivated to do that, but not during class.
Sure, classroom sizes can be a detriment to those that require more hands on instruction time. But that's not everyone and not every school suffers from overcrowding.
I would say that's a rich country and gen alpha thing. People who had to download games from a pirate site on the family computer know what a folder is.
Cloud services expose their UI/UX through a web-browser will all of the pain points of running a stateful blob of javascript on the client, talking through a mostly stateless protocol to a "mess of stuff" that aims for eventual consistency in the backend.
The old folks, who are retired and dying according to this thread, mostly grew up using local applications with direct control between UI/UX and action.
Hey, I'm from TrueFoundry team that open-sourced this. Pi is great but it's solving a different problem than we are.
It's a CLI coding agent that lives in your terminal, built mainly for devs working on a codebase on their own machines.
TrueForge is a runtime for building and running general agents. It comes with a server and web UI, plus an SDK and API. So you can build production agents and run them for yourself or your org, self-hosted behind SSO.
The idea is providing an end-to-end path: build agents in the UI, access them via API, and deploy for your team.
