We are excited to introduce Mercury, the first commercial-grade diffusion large language model (dLLM)! dLLMs push the frontier of intelligence and speed with parallel, coarse-to-fine text generation.
@jon_durbin I just stress-tested spicyboros 2.2 and airoboros 1.4.1 , both 70b_q6.gguf, with a task of writing about two characters talking funny in a dire situation. and airoboros 1.4.1 seems to do better than spicyboros 2.2. It seems like the 'actively de-censored' is very directional
@cyriakharris Random thoughts: People who have confidence enough to say "I'm sure this is how I get creative" are actually less creative which makes them more dependent on employers to provide scarcer production tools and instructions
@jon_durbin Let's say my story settings are really unconventional. I would presume most feedback cases are at most about some variants of magic&sword or popular Si-Fi
@jon_durbin In my creative writing case, stories are heavily based on unconventional lore/settings, so it still depends on the general reasoning ability to make characters act/react based on my lore/settings, instead of the conventional ones. improvements in fancy writing styles won't help
