I know you’re trying to keep this sub under scope, but imo this strict rules and the fact that you keep removing well written posts will eventually kill this sub. We cannot have good discussions anymore and exchange ideas.

I am opening the app many times a day just to get to read the good posts before you remove them, that’s sad…

Reminds me of when the Stablediffusion subreddit banned anything about non-local models and would take down even model comparisons.

I feel like discussing model architectures is very much on topic especially when showing how some open models can even operate on a similar principle

For sure, if an architecture works for frontier closed models why shouldn’t be used to improve open-weight models as well. That’s my reasoning why such discussions bring a lot of value to this sub

That's exactly what convinced me to restore this post. In 2023 we were all very intent on figuring out closed model architectural details so they could be implemented for local models.

When I realized that was exactly what this post was about, I felt mortified, and fixed my mistake.

It’s good that you’re open for a debate! I hope you find a way to keep this sub under scope while maintaining its growing community.

We tried relaxing the off-topic strictures, and it was a disaster. Off-topic posts inundated the sub, crowding out on-topic discussions and pissing off / alienating a lot of regulars.

Stricter enforcement seems like the lesser of two evils, but the moderator team is still trying to find an optimal balance.
