Ask Lemmygrad

Talking about LLMs, I use them a lot. Mostly to learn new things geting personalized help, but I also had/have some coding projects that can be done in a fraction of the time using LLMs. I might need weeks to write a good enough documentation/prompt to have the LLM make a program that follows the logic that I want, and thus one I can more easily understand and maintain. And that time is still much quicker than if I had to do everything by hand, specially as I might be using newer libraries/techniques that I never used before and thus might take even longer to learn/debug, with the added benefit that at the early stages I could completelly remake thing by simply changing a few sentences on the prompt which allows me to have a very good program quickly that fits my expectations without having to rewrite everything or having to give up on improvements because they wouldn be worth the time to change things, giving me more time to test and play with the finer details, getting a really solid and polished final program that I mostly understand.

I also used smaller models locally to help me sort through data and things like that. So I can get a helping hand to do something really boring that a program by itself wouldn't be able to deal with (to the same degree) and do nice things that might not have been worth the time investment otherwise, or allowing me to do more of them with the same time.

I only use Chinese models by the way, mostly Qwen both online and locally.
