As Simon said in his post:

> Honestly, it’s pretty terrible. Talking with it feels more like chatting with a Markov chain than an LLM—the responses may have a delightfully Victorian flavor to them but it’s hard to get a response that usefully answers a question.

I tried it and I agree.


If you have uv installed you can start a chat with the model (after a 2GB model download) with this one-liner:

  uvx --with llm-mrchatterbox llm chat -m mrchatterbox


This is fantastically cool. I can't believe this is possible with such a small and narrow dataset.
