Qwen3

The course improves a pre-trained Qwen3 0.6B model rather than training from scratch, runs early sections on a CPU and ships code in a GitHub repository.

Commenters split between readers of his LLM book who loved it and skeptics who asked who the course is for.

Erik Markus Kannike released qwen3-4b-deslop-v4, which needs no system prompt. On 40 held-out prompts, em dashes fell from 20.5 to zero and 68% of answers landed in human-writing range.

Commenters found it still reads as AI, and one asked why anyone would want that.
