I agree with you, and I'm using claude and other models heavily, the idea is not in the soneshot - because actually as you see in the logs I posted on github, it took around 107 + 50-ish experiments to figure out which models to run which and push the speed.

I'm treating it as a search algorithm project, where I develop the methdology and search for pushing the limit of devices and searching in a big space of possible kernels and so for what works for a specific hardware.

so I'm looking at it from a different prespective, it takes a lot of brute forcing, and claude can do this well, the whole game (to me) is which directions you push the model into to reduce the search space. and how that learning from very small and tight devices you can scale these techniques.

But in essence, I don't disagree with your sentiment - the goal is not 0.6B models, these are extremely trivial as you mentioned and as I showed in the experiments, the goal is 16B+ models, and this as far as I've seen, requires smart methods to search for optimizations and customizations both to the model and inference engines.

Why did you both say "soneshot"? Same typo of oneshot?

I just asked myself the same thing and wondered if this was some new technique that completely slipped past me. - But it certainly must be a double typo

orrr we can listen to paranoia that these 2 comments are just an elaborate advertisement

the kind of one shots you get with fable 5.5 :D (it was a double typo)

"double typo"

When you find two sants in the kitchen, you are certain to find more sants. Won't fool ME.

This actually dates back to Warren Buffet saying, there is never just one scockroach in the ktichen

Soneshot is a much better technique for such and such type of projects

It's not clear whether the second one isn't a scheapshot at making fun of the first one.

Hey, this is the Internet. It’s serious business! We shouldn’t make sfun of people!

Because the response was written by an LLM running on a tamagotchi

So funny, I saw this before bed and planned to look it up in the morning thinking I recently missed out on some kind of killer prompt technique. Woke up and came back to this thread to find typos

Typos are a sign of human intelligence :D

What is “soneshot”?
Re:I'm making LLMs work on small and old devices by jjice on Thursday November 12, 2026 @03:56PM (#50474160)
I think it's a typo of "oneshot", referring to a single prompt being able to handle the entire task.

Yes that was my typo. Sorry about that.
Re:I'm making LLMs work on small and old devices by freehorse on Friday November 13, 2026 @07:24AM (#50482520)
But you did the typo two times?
