Can we toss in the work unsloth does too as an unsung hero?

They provide excellent documentation and they’re often very quick to get high quality quants up in major formats. They’re a very trustworthy brand.

Yeah, they're the good guys. I suspect the open source work is mostly advertisements for them to sell consulting and services to enterprises. Otherwise, the work they do doesn't make sense to offer for free.

Haha for now our primary goal is to expand the market for local AI and educate people on how to do RL, fine-tuning and running quants :)

I hope that is exactly what is happening. It benefits them, and it benefits us.

not that unsung! we've given them our biggest workshop spot every single year we've been able to and will do until they are tired of us https://www.youtube.com/@aiDotEngineer/search?query=unsloth

[danielhanchen]
