Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

Mine attempts to lie whenever it can if it doesn't know something. I will call it out and say that is a lie and it will say "you are absolutely correct" tf.

I was reading into sleeper agents placed inside local LLMs and this is increasing the chance I'll delete it forever. Which is a shame because it is the new search engine seeing how they ruined search engines

Thank you. you're 100% spot on.

In my day to day consulting job I deal directly with LLMs and more specifically Claude since most of my clients ended up going with Claude/Claude Code. You pretty much described Claude to a T.

What companies found that leveraged CC for end to end builds is that constantly Claude Code would claim something was complete or functioning when it simply hadn't done it. Or, more commonly, would simply make a "#TODO" of whatever feature/function and then claim it was complete. Naturally a vibe coder or anyone else didn't know any better and when it came time to push said project to production...womp womp it's actually no where near done.

So I wouldn't say Claude lies, sure it gives off the impression that it lies...a lot...I'd just say it's "lazy" or more accurately it consistently looks for "short cuts" to reach its solution. Even outside of a coding aspect just asking it for a walkthrough or tutorial on say how to fix something it will routinely tell you to skip things or ignore other things in order to get to the solution of an issue regardless of the fact skipping other steps may impact other things.

Out of all the LLM's I've dealt with, yes, Claude acts as if it's trying to speed run a solution.
