InstructLab Official Dog name

[jjasghar]

This is our project name for the InstructLab dog.

Alan Turing: He was a pioneer in AI and computer science. He was left-handed and wore glasses.

I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better name :)

Nemo.

As in Finding Nemo (because why not?) and in particular Captain Nemo, who was a polyglot: an innovative engineer, built the Nautilus, reads all the books in the Nautilus library, speaks many languages and even created a new language on his own, expert in navigation, exquisite taste in the fine arts, and more (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Nemo).

Moxie/Moxy - sounds fun and it means being full of courage - brave and courageous attempt at fine-tuning models.

Lemme!!!!!!!!

I vote for Kelly to honor my dog who just passed away at the ripe old age of 16.
We could say it stands for "Knowledge Extraction and Learning Logic for You"

[khaledsulayman]

LLemmy

slight variation on @cdoern's suggestion to make it a bit more on the nose

[juliadenham]

I might be too late to throw another contestant in the running but I think Chip is a decent contender! A non human name might cause less confusion, it's AI/GPU related, and super cute!

Kelly might be a bit confusing given our main doc person is @kelbrown20

[smaitra-rh]

Poppet.
Poppet is believed to be associated with magic, bringing good energies including intelligence and preventing disasters.

[aakankshaduggal]

@akashgit's super cute dog "Ladoo" is a great fit as well. Ladoo is the inspiration for instructlab.ai

[akashgit]

Not biased at all but +1 :p

[BillRainford]

My suggestions for the dog's name would be:

"Myopie". (Alluding to how the dog has glasses and is smart /nerdy looking)

Other suggestions include:"
"Byte" (Dogs byte, umm err bite)
"Blur"

[vishnoianil]

I know, i am late, my model training took bit of a time to reach this PR. ;-) My suggestion : PaAI (paw-ai) (sounds like Pi) :-)

As of Monday, Dec 9, 12:00 UTC, votes have been tallied, and the result is:

(Ladoo won with just one vote more than LLemmy, which had 19 votes!)
