LocalLLaMA is unironically one of the best places to go to get up to date AI news.

LocalLLaMA is highlighted as a prime source for current AI news, surpassing other AI subreddits and even machine learning communities. While other platforms offer occasional valuable insights, LocalLLaMA uniquely balances general AI news with discussions on AI architecture breakthroughs, which are often absent elsewhere. This makes it a fascinating hub for those interested in deeper AI developments.
One of the other posts today by user u/Howard_banister confirmed what I've been seeing from the other AI subreddits as well.
Most of these other subs are 90% trend hopping crypto-bros equivalent people who are seemingly irrelevant most of the time when it comes to advancing AI as the vast majority is not just AI slop, but also human slop whether that be fearmongering or straight anti-ai arguments spat out by relatively uneducated people.
Of course, you also have the main dedicated subs for the big closed/open models which are in of themselves fairly decent. Most of the time now, it is people complaining about one thing or the other about the latest and greatest of their respective lab.
Then you get to the machine learning subs themselves where yes, they do have stuff in regard to AI every now and that can be gold (Don't get me wrong), but then it's mostly meh.
This sub however, has that interesting balance between the occasional interest in AI architecture breakthroughs that I find fascinating when some of the bigger brained people in here get together to discuss and which I don't really see anywhere else.
