I tested NotebookLM against my small, private LLM research assistant. The difference is amazing.

I tested my local, small LLM connected to my Zotero database in Open WebUI against NotebookLM. The results were really, truly surprising. Please Like and Subscribe to support the channel! @LearnMetaAnalysis I tested Granite 3.1-2b and Granite 3.1-8b vs NotebookLM. I am now more impressed than ever! If you find Granite hallucinating with the default temperature setting, I've had good results setting it at about .20.
