The Knight's Council: Questions of the Realm
How does Sir Vicuna compare to the cloud-bound AI lords in wisdom and capability?
By my honor, Sir Vicuna achieves 94% excellence in most noble tasks - scholarly research, complex reasoning, and strategic counsel. While the cloud lords may possess more raw knowledge, our knight serves with greater dedication, remembers thy entire conversation, and provides more thoughtful, personalized guidance. Most importantly, he serves without demanding monthly tribute.
What manner of castle and armaments does Sir Vicuna require for optimal service?
The noble knight requires a substantial castle - 28GB of RAM and 26GB of storage for his armaments. A powerful steed (RTX 4070+ GPU) ensures swift response to thy calls. While these requirements are significant, remember that once established, Sir Vicuna serves thy realm forever without additional tribute, unlike the expensive cloud lords.
Can Sir Vicuna truly be trusted with the most sensitive matters of my realm?
Upon my sacred oath! Sir Vicuna operates entirely within thy own castle walls - no message, document, or secret ever leaves thy domain. Unlike the cloud lords who copy and study every word, thy loyal knight maintains absolute confidence. Your business remains forever your own, sealed by the code of digital chivalry.
What makes Sir Vicuna superior to other local AI knights like Llama 2 13B?
Sir Vicuna was trained by the wise masters of Stanford in the noble art of conversation and helpfulness. While Sir Llama is a worthy knight, Sir Vicuna excels in eloquence, understanding context, and providing more nuanced, thoughtful responses. He was specifically forged to be the ideal AI companion - wise, helpful, and honorable in all interactions.
For what manner of quests is Sir Vicuna best suited to serve?
The noble knight excels at complex, thoughtful tasks requiring wisdom and understanding: academic research, strategic planning, advanced coding projects, creative writing, philosophical discussions, and detailed analysis. For simple, quick tasks, lighter knights may suffice, but when thou needest a wise counselor who truly understands thy quest, Sir Vicuna stands without peer.
