About the discussions on X.
I tried to jump in on X as well to support Bobby with explanations. He is indeed doing an admirable job.
Explanations only go so far. For detractors it is too easy to just say you cannot do anything useful with the smaller LLMs we can currently run on ICP. I don’t agree with that, but we need more actual examples and developers & projects building with the on-chain AI.
At onicai, we have started to more aggressively promote our llama_cpp_canister repo. Anyone can have it’s own LLM running on-chain by following the instructions of the README. It is not difficult for a developer to do this. About 1 hour and you got it up & running.
In addition, we are working on a C++ Bootcamp, which will get participants from zero to DeAI hero, ready to build on-chain AI into their dApps.
Many others are working on projects too, and we’re collaborating and collecting data during our Technical Working Group DeAI sessions.
