Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models?

I mean anything in the 0.5B-3B range that's available on Ollama (for example). Have you built any cool tooling that uses these models as part of your work flow?

I have ollama responding to SMS spam texts. I told it to feign interest in whatever the spammer is selling/buying. Each number gets its own persona, like a millennial gymbro or 19th century British gentleman.

Most spam are just verifying you exist as a person, then from there you become an actual "target" if you respond.

This feels like an in-between that both wastes their time and adds you to extra lists.

Send the results somewhere! Not sure if "law enforcement" is applicable (as in, would be able/willing to act on the info) but if so, that's a great use of this data :)
