Users seek collaborative 10B LLMs that challenge flawed ideas

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking recommendations for smaller language models, specifically around the 10 billion parameter size, that function well as collaborators. The user expresses a desire for models that can challenge flawed premises or push back on ideas, rather than simply excelling at one-shot tasks.
