>MacBooks can easily run models exceeding GPT-3.5, such as Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen 2.5 8B, or Gemma 2 9B.

If only those models supported anything other than English




Llama 3.1 8B advertises itself as multilingual.

All of the Qwen models are basically fluent in both English and Chinese.


Llama 8B is multilingual on paper, but the quality is very bad compared to English. It generally understands grammar, and you can understand what it's trying to say, but the choice of words is very off most of the time, often complete gibberish. If you can imagine the output of an undertrained model, this is it. Meanwhile GPT3.5 had far better output that you could use in production.


Cohere just announced Command R7B. I haven’t tried it yet but their larger models are the best multilingual models I’ve used


Is subtext to this uncensored Chinese support?
