Do the models on your apps work well for coding tasks?


Not on iOS. On macOS, I personally think WizardLM 13B v1.2 is a very strong model and keep hearing good things about it from users on our discord and in support emails. Now that there's OmniQuant support for Mixtral models[1], I'm plan to add support for Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 in the next version of the macOS app, which in my tests, looks like a very good all purpose model that's also pretty good at coding. It's pretty memory hungry (~41GB of RAM), but that's the price to pay for an uncompromising implementation. Existing quantized implementations quantize the MoE gates, leading to a significant drop in perplexity when compared with results from fp16 inference.
