Developer Abandons Plan for Em-Dash Remover After Discovering Local Models Rarely Use Them

A local model test reveals surprising output trends, prompting changes to an LLM library.
A recent experiment has shed new light on the behavior of local large language models (LLMs) regarding em-dashes. The developer of llmclean 0.3.0 considered adding an em-dash remover to their library but decided to test whether local models even produce em-dashes first.
This investigation led to a five-model local sweep that reshaped the library. The results revealed three key aspects of LLM output that contradicted initial assumptions. As we have previously reported on the performance and adoption of LLMs, this new information adds to our understanding of these models.
What to watch next is how developers will respond to these findings and whether they will adjust their approaches to handling em-dashes in LLM-generated text. The availability of tools like em-dash removers and replacers may also influence the development of LLM libraries and applications.
