18 guilds, 277 channels, and 1342 messages were analyzed with an estimated reading time saved of 187 minutes. The community switched to GPT-4 turbo and discussed the rise of Mixture of Experts (MoE) models like Mixtral, DeepSeekMOE, and Phixtral. Model merging techniques, including naive linear interpolation and "frankenmerges" by SOLAR and Goliath, are driving new performance gains on open leaderboards. Discussions in the Nous Research AI Discord covered topics such as AI playgrounds supporting prompt and RAG parameters, security concerns about third-party cloud usage, debates on Discord bots and TOS, skepticism about Teenage Engineering's cloud LLM, and performance differences between GPT-4 0613 and GPT-4 turbo. The community also explored fine-tuning strategies involving DPO, LoRA, and safetensors, integration of RAG with API calls, semantic differences between MoE and dense LLMs, and data frameworks like llama index and SciPhi-AI's synthesizer. Issues with anomalous characters in fine-tuning were also raised.
