Not impressed with Reflection Llama 3.1 70B IQ2_S quant.

Win10/64GB | RTX 3090 | Reflection Llama 3.1 70B 1Q2_S

This is a conversation I had with Reflection below. I also had other conversations around the Hubble Constant and a definition that is timestamped in the web-o-sphere, so it ends up being a good way to determine how old the data are that was used to bake the model. Except it failed miserably at all of that compared to the vanilla Llama 3.1 70B IQ2_2 quant, which could go through maybe 30 questions before hallucinating. (16K tokens, 3.1 tok/s) This model is supposed to be better at knowing when it doesn't know. I disagree. It either hallucinated right away started the short-answer thing at about 6K tokens, 3.4 tok/s). Perhaps the full model on a larger machine would yield better results but if this quant is any indicator, Reflection is, in the words of Paul Hollywood from the Great British Baking show, "Overworked and Underbaked".

User:

what do you know about comfyui, stable diffusion and flux?

Assistant:

<thinking>
To answer this question about ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, and Flux, I'll need to provide information on each of these technologies and their applications. Let's break it down:

1. ComfyUI:
   - ComfyUI is a user interface framework for creating web applications.
   - It provides pre-built components and layouts for rapid development.

2. Stable Diffusion:
   - Stable Diffusion is an AI model used for text-to-image generation.
   - It creates images based on input text descriptions.

3. Flux:
   - Flux is an application architecture pattern for managing state changes in applications.
   - It's often used with React and Redux libraries.

Let's provide a brief overview of each:

ComfyUI: ComfyUI is a user interface framework designed to simplify the process of creating web applications by providing pre-built components and layouts. This allows developers to focus on core functionality rather than spending time building basic UI elements from scratch. It can be particularly useful for rapid prototyping or when you need to create a functional interface quickly.

Stable Diffusion: Stable Diffusion is an AI model that generates images based on text input. It's capable of creating diverse and often realistic images from simple text descriptions. This technology has applications in various fields, including art, design, and content creation.

Flux: Flux is an application architecture pattern used to manage state changes in applications. It's particularly popular when working with React and Redux libraries. Flux helps organize data flow through the application by creating a single source of truth for state management.

These technologies are quite different but can be combined in interesting ways:

- ComfyUI could be used as the frontend for an application that utilizes Stable Diffusion models.

User:

Okay I have to stop you right there. Comfyui is the interface many people use to run Stable Diffusion. Flux is a model that's similar to but more advanced than stable diffusion. Reflection, I suspect the Llama 3.1 70B iQ2_S quantization of your original model (this bake of you) is not very useful. I suspect other larger quants or the original unquantized model may be better.

Assistant:

Upon reflection, it appears that my initial understanding was incorrect and incomplete. Let me revise my knowledge based on this new information:

1. ComfyUI:
   - ComfyUI is an interface used to run Stable Diffusion models.
   - It provides a user-friendly way to interact with Stable Diffusion technology.

2. Stable Diffusion:
   - Stable Diffusion is an AI model for text-to-image generation.
   - It creates images based on input text descriptions.

3. Flux:
   - Flux is a more advanced AI model similar to Stable Diffusion.
   - It's likely used for more complex or high-quality image generation tasks.

This new information suggests that ComfyUI serves as an interface layer for interacting with Stable Diffusion models, while Flux represents a potentially more powerful alternative or successor in the field of text-to-image generation. The mention of Llama 3.1 70B iQ2_S quantization and its comparison to other models indicates that there are various versions of AI models being developed and tested.

Thank you for correcting me! I apologize for my earlier misunderstanding. It seems ComfyUI is indeed an interface used to run Stable Diffusion models, not a separate UI framework as I initially thought. This makes sense given the context of your question.

Stable Diffusion remains a powerful AI model for text-to-image generation, capable of creating diverse and often realistic images from simple text descriptions.

Flux appears to be a more advanced model in the same field,
User:

Thanks Reflection. I guess it's time for sleep now. Good night.

Assistant:

You're welcome! It was a pleasure helping you clarify your question about ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, and Flux. If you have any more questions or need assistance in the future, don't hesitate to ask.

Have a good rest and sweet dreams!
