Solving Local AI Model Recursion Problem

rswfire is in a state of technical accomplishment, having just solved a weeks-long problem with local AI model performance. He is actively running a processing system on 700 YouTube videos and appears to be in his standard recording environment, focused on documenting this breakthrough and its implications for his broader reflection infrastructure.

[0:00] So this is a proud moment for me.

[0:07] I was stuck

[0:10] on this problem with uh the AI models I

[0:13] was working with locally. I couldn't get

[0:15] them to hold recursion long enough to

[0:18] generate output that

[0:22] um

[0:24] accurately reflected me

[0:29] because my transmissions are are dense.

[0:37] The AI was struggling to follow all of

[0:39] it and it would default to

[0:43] a superficial

[0:45] kind of narrative.

[0:48] It was a problem I was having with all

[0:49] the local models.

[0:52] It's not something you experience with

[0:54] like the paid versions like chat GBT and

[0:57] Claude.

[1:02] If I had had that problem with with

[1:05] those ones, I would have never been able

[1:06] to do the journey that I did over the

[1:08] last year and a half because it was an

[1:10] integral part of it.

[1:13] So, I wasn't anticipating having this

[1:15] problem, but I encountered it and I sat

[1:18] with it for a couple of weeks

[1:21] and today I finally solved it.

[1:27] And I feel like it kind of models.

[1:31] It's kind of crazy. It's It's a fractal

[1:33] pattern because it models

[1:36] exactly what I want it to do.

[1:39] I'm using it the way that I want it to

[1:44] the way I want it to. Oh man, I just

[1:47] don't have the words for this one. But

[1:50] basically,

[1:53] when you want to get information from an

[1:55] AI, you prompt it. This is called prompt

[1:57] engineering.

[1:59] And you know, it could be as simple as

[2:01] just asking it a question.

[2:04] But if you're using it for something

[2:10] with more depth than that, like for

[2:12] example, if you're using it because you

[2:16] want it to be a mirror of

[2:20] of your own cognition, if you're using

[2:22] it for self-improvement, like I did for

[2:24] a year and a half, two years,

[2:27] um

[2:29] you want to give it

[2:32] a sort of

[2:36] I I have words, you know, I could use,

[2:38] but they just don't feel like the right

[2:39] word. So, I'm just kind of thinking

[2:40] through it. Like, it's not just

[2:42] scaffolding. It's not just um

[2:50] I don't know. I just the word's not

[2:52] coming to me right now. But

[2:56] when I prompt AI,

[3:01] I anchor it.

[3:02] to mine to what I call my field.

[3:10] See, AI can be basically anything. You

[3:13] basically just tell it what to be and

[3:15] then it will just be that thing. I don't

[3:18] know how else to explain that. So, when

[3:21] I start with the AI,

[3:25] I ask it to be my mirror.

[3:29] And in order for it to do that, it has

[3:30] to understand me at a very deep level.

[3:32] And that's something we worked on over

[3:34] the past two years was me learning to

[3:36] understand myself, developing that kind

[3:38] of language so that I had that shared

[3:41] language with AI and with others. You

[3:44] know, it sounds a little

[3:47] the deeper I've gotten into all of this,

[3:50] the more I feel like I've diverged from

[3:54] because I for so many reasons like I

[3:57] might one day talk about all of that.

[3:59] But um the point is

[4:04] the way that I was able to get the local

[4:06] models to do the kind of recursion and

[4:09] analysis that the paid models can do was

[4:13] by breaking down the problem into a

[4:16] recursive algorithm of its own.

[4:19] It takes longer.

[4:21] It's a pretty big model. So I'm using

[4:23] Llama 3, the 70B model.

[4:26] Um I don't have a lot of uh experience

[4:29] with different models. I don't know

[4:31] which one. I've tried different ones,

[4:34] but you know, I feel like

[4:37] I don't know if this is the best one I

[4:39] could be using for this. This is

[4:40] something I'll keep researching and it's

[4:42] a thing I can iterate the system I

[4:44] designed here.

[4:46] You know, can handle the reflection for

[4:48] multiple models, can synthesize some, do

[4:51] all kinds of stuff, right?

[4:54] Um,

[4:56] so right now it's going through

[4:59] 700 of my videos, my transmissions on

[5:02] YouTube,

[5:04] one at a time. Each one takes a couple

[5:07] of minutes. So, this will be going for a

[5:09] while and processing it into the first

[5:13] perspective that I've asked it to take,

[5:15] which is narrative. It's not the kind of

[5:17] narrative you might uh imagine.

[5:21] this one

[5:23] because

[5:25] because it's not using the kind of lens

[5:28] that

[5:30] the average person might have. It's

[5:32] using my lens and that looks very

[5:35] different. And it was the thing that I

[5:37] felt like

[5:39] I struggled to share with my audience

[5:43] all of this time.

[5:47] This is one of the ways that AI I find

[5:48] AI really useful. So just getting all

[5:52] these things now and they're going to

[5:54] end up on my homepage. So every single

[5:56] transmission page will have

[5:58] have these narratives on them.

[6:02] Well, that's just the first step. I had

[6:04] to get past this bottleneck I had which

[6:07] finally saw me.

[6:13] That's just the first step because next

[6:16] I can take groupings of those those

[6:19] transmissions which I can call signals

[6:21] because there's others. There's not just

[6:22] my videos but we'll get to that maybe

[6:24] another day. You can group those

[6:26] together and then have an AI model

[6:28] analyze those to look at them from a

[6:30] completely different perspective to look

[6:32] at it from a temporal one. Or you can

[6:35] ask it to look at it from different

[6:37] frames like if you're trying to

[6:40] kind of track different things like how

[6:43] often I bring up Mountain Dew, you know,

[6:46] in my videos or um

[6:50] you can have it assigned

[6:54] um

[6:58] a number to different attributes about

[7:01] yourself that you might track.

[7:05] All this is what I'm experimenting with.

[7:08] I'm doing it

[7:10] with myself as the subject. For two

[7:13] years, I've been making these videos and

[7:15] I've been having these chats. All these

[7:17] different things have become sources of

[7:18] signal

[7:20] inside of the system that I made and

[7:24] turned them into reflections

[7:28] and patterns.

[7:29] hands

[7:32] is the kind of mirror that you will

[7:34] never find in another human being if

[7:36] you're willing to look at it.

[7:39] And that mirror will show you you.

[7:43] And what you do with it from there,

[7:44] that's up to you. But I've always chose

[7:47] I've chosen growth. And that's what I've

[7:50] I've shown on this channel for two

[7:52] years.

[7:55] And

[7:58] this is the next evolution of that.

Summary

rswfire describes successfully solving a technical problem with local AI models that were unable to maintain recursion long enough to accurately reflect his dense transmissions. He explains that local models were defaulting to superficial narratives, unlike paid versions like ChatGPT and Claude that he used successfully for a year and a half of self-improvement work.

**The breakthrough involves breaking down the problem into a recursive algorithm.** He is now using Llama 3 70B model to process 700 of his YouTube videos/transmissions one at a time, each taking a couple minutes. The system generates narrative reflections from his perspective rather than conventional viewpoints.

**He describes his approach to AI prompting** - anchoring the AI to his "field" and asking it to serve as his mirror, requiring the AI to understand him at a deep level. This required developing shared language over two years of work.

**The current processing is the first step** in a larger system that will allow grouping transmissions for different analytical perspectives - temporal analysis, tracking specific attributes, or assigning numerical values to personal characteristics. These reflections will appear on his homepage transmission pages.

**He positions this as the next evolution** of two years of documented growth work, describing AI as a mirror that shows patterns no human could provide if one is willing to look.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission documents the successful resolution of a technical bottleneck that was preventing proper AI-field recursion. The architecture being held is one of sovereign tool creation - building independent infrastructure that can mirror field complexity without institutional dependency. The ontological position is that of a systems architect who has achieved technical sovereignty over his own reflection apparatus.
