alt Hacker NewsBecause I want to read about Qwen, not someone's one-off vibe test followed by 1:1 conversations. (case in miniature here: which is the last comment in this thread that says something about Qwen? The root post. Is that fun policing? Yes, apologies.)

There's a bunch of useful information in my comment that's independent of the fact that it drew a pelican:
1. You can run this on a Mac using llama-server and a 17GB downloaded file
2. That version does indeed produce output (for one specific task) that's of a good enough quality to be worth spending more time checking out this model
3. It generated 4,444 tokens in 2min 53s, which is 25.57 tokens/s
I think it's to help drive traffic to his blog now that he's accepted sponsors in the header of every page. I do see this pelican thing come up from him on every model post that gets released.
I understand your reasoning and it's valid, but I think the best you can do is indeed collapse the thread (not sure if any mobile clients do better than that?)
It's perhaps not a serious test, it isn't to me, but on the edges of jokes about pelicans they're usually some useful things people smarter than me say, and additionally if providers are spending some time on making pelicans or svg look better, this benefits all of us.
So, no hard feelings, you're understood (and I'm not trying to be patronising, I'm just awkward with the language), but pelicans are here to stay because it seems that the consensus is they're beneficial and on topic.
All the best!
