I'm unironically on a quest to figure out how to get local Apple's Foundation Models to respond at the quality of recent Sonnet across five rubriks that I care for.

Okay! Adding a domain-specific LoRA adapter moved the needle the most.

I bootstrapped an autoresearch loop that initially went through a bunch of experiments that tested a bunch of prompt/sequence/selection/critique and reflexion combos. Those didn't really result in much lift.

PS: If you haven't seen this yet, Apple provides the "Foundation Models Adapter Training Toolkit" over at
