Show HN: Llama 3.2 3B and Keiro Research achieves 85% on SimpleQA
ran this over the weekend. stack was Llama 3.2 3B running locally + Keiro Research API for retrieval.
85.0% on 4,326 questions. where that lands:
ROMA (357B): 93.9% OpenDeepSearch (671B): 88.3% Sonar Pro: 85.8% Llama 3.2 3B + Keiro: 85.0%
the systems ahead of us are running models 100-200x larger. that's why they're ahead. not better retrieval, not better prompting — just way more parameters.
the interesting part is how small the gap is despite that. 3 points behind a 671B model. 0.8 behind Sonar Pro. at some point you have to ask what you're actually buying with all that compute for this class of task.
Want to know how low the reader model can go before it starts mattering. in this setup it clearly wasn't the limiting factor and also if smaller models with web enabled will perform as good( if not better) as larger models for a lot of non coding tasks

Show HN: I built a tool to manage work and personal Git repos
I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine.
Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same.
So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine.
Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.
