Re: Where should we put machine learning model parameters ?

My view as a statistician and Guix user is that trained machine learning models should at best be provided as substitutes. They are opaque binary artifacts of purely digital compilation processes and should not be treated exceptionally to any other build artifact. It would seem to me most consi

Guidelines for pre-trained ML model weight binaries (Was re: Where should we put machine learning model parameters?)

Hi there FSF Licensing! (CC: Guix devel, Nicholas Graves) This morning I read through the FSDG to see if it gives any guidance on when machine learning model weights are appropriate for inclusion in a free system. It does not seem to offer much. Many ML models are advertising themselves as "o

Hi, If you came from another GNU/Linux distribution and use software RAID in Guix System, you may not be getting the best possible experience. This message is probably only interesting to you if you have a 'raid-device-mapping' in your operating system declaration. [1] In terms of basic functiona

Where should we put machine learning model parameters ?

Hi Guix! I've recently contributed a few tools that make a few OSS machine learning programs usable for Guix, namely nerd-dictation for dictation and llama-cpp as a converstional bot. In the first case, I would also like to contribute parameters of some localized models so that they can be used
