Yeah, this. I prompted just a couple days ago for an example code gen of bit-bashing SD 4-bit SD mode and got garbage. Told it to use the specs from SD Association too.

If these LLMs can't see something to regurgitate then they're useless. There's no intelligence. They're just the new search engine is all.

The question becomes what are LMMs good at? Open public uses seem quite limited because of misinformation corrupting the data sources. Search is one effective use.

They are being used in closed environments like for GPs where the data input is clean and note-taking, transcribing, form-filing, summarising are all time savers.

I can't see trillions of dollars in LLMs. The spend is insane. Google might be the only sane player on the field.

A good example of this market mechanism occurred recently with lithium battery tech. Lithium-Cobalt (3.6 Volt per cell) classed chemistries have reigned since their commercialisation in the 1990's. I don't know it's patent history.

In the early 2000's a far more rugged chemistry (One that doesn't spontaneously combust) classed as Lithium-Phosphate (3.2 Volt per cell) was developed and heavily patented. It never gained any popularity until just recently - Immediately following the expiry of the patents.
