Your Local AI Just Got a Brain Boost!
“Even local AIs need to put in the effort sometimes!”
The story behind the toon
What happened: The llama.cpp software now allows local AI models to use a feature called 'reasoning_effort.' This means your own AI can try harder to give more accurate and structured answers, similar to how OpenAI models work. This update aims to significantly improve the quality of responses from AI running on your personal computer.
This Neural Toon is based on the story “llama.cpp adds reasoning_effort for OpenAI compatibility”.
