Ollama's jmorgan: small models now handle most conversational and reasoning use cases
ollama · x · 2026-09-14
Ollama co-founder jmorgan praised the Stanford Hazy Research work by Avanika Narayan, Jon Saad-Falcon and team (with John Hennessy involved), saying small models are "truly capable of the majority of conversational use cases and even a majority of difficult reasoning ones." Their work was featured prominently in the Financial Times, arguing the world is becoming less dependent on centralized cloud AI — a signal of the shift toward local, on-device small models.
