Your brain might be a quantum computer that hallucinates math

Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. Now, without looking, what was the answer to the first question? It’s still nine, isn’t it? You’ve just performed a series of advanced brain functions. You did math based on prompts designed to appeal to entirely different parts of your brain and you displayed the ability to recall previous information when queried later. Great job!

Хотел упростить мониторинг проектов и в отпуск — пришлось обучать свой LLM.Часть 2.Обучение

Продолжаем серию про файнтюнинг и создание DevOps-агента Oni.

Я решил попробовать дообучить модель на базе qwen3:14b. Раньше никогда не сталкивался с обучением моделей, и представление было такое: всё происходит по кругу — взял модель, обучил, протестировал, выявил ошибки, снова обучил, снова протестировал.
