Here I coin the term âTransformer Paleophobiaâ
It defines the distress LLM folks experience when they see somebody using an old model or a technology.
Examples:
Normie: âI downloaded llama 3 and it works without internet!â
Transformer Paleophobic: âyou gotta use qwen3.5 9B! It also fits and is much better!â
Normie: âI hate ChatGPT when it thinksâ
TP: âactually thinking more is better đâ
Normie: âthey donât let me pick gpt-4o anymoreâ
TP: âđđđđđđđâ
Why does everyone use old local models
Please use qwen 9b
