Obsession. When nothing else exists. It happens quite rarely. Thatβs why I embrace it. Until I burn out.
Moments like these are usually worth it long-term.
If I truly enjoy my custom AI assistant Hermes and see it evolve (with help and on its own), then Iβll consider getting equipment for a local model.
Maybe Iβll open-source it, too. If I like it, maybe someone else will.
