I shared a project in their #research channel where I used their qwen36moe quant to refresh my PhD research. The channel had a topic that ended with something like "and all things research..."
One of their people accused me of self-promotion, and I reiterated that I shared it in that channel because it was their quant doing something (I thought) interesting as a research model. The number of people interested in the topic can be counted on your hands (in binary).
They remained accusatory, made it personal, and then started deleting messages. I suppose I escalated a bit (from their perspective), saying how this was not a good first encounter, they could have asked me to move it instead of just deleting it. Then they deleted every message, including all of their own, and put me in timeout. Erased from history, unable to participate, and so I left.
A coworker of mine (ML guy) is also sus about their quants, not nefarious, more that their benchmark results do not mean they are better, possibly skewed / benchmaxxed.
Sure,
