After two days of fighting with benchmarking infrastructure, I finally benchmarked IFM/K2-Horizon-7B on 16GB VRAM. TL/DR: it works, but far behind Qwen-3.8-27B. Setup I compared 3 models - Qwen3.8-27B

So we’re seeing how Anthropic and OpenAI are gunning for regulations. I think most of us realize that this is a ploy for them to achieve regulatory capture, thus securing their moat and kicking out op

Hi everyone, Inspired by tools like Chessvision.ai, I wanted to take a different architectural approach and build a browser extension (ChessInsights AI) that performs chessboard detection and piece re

Pushed out this new update, hopefully decreases the instances of crashes. I torture tested this one for ~12 hours after my fixes and found no instability. Q4 K XL needs more fine tuning, which I will

Now that the dust has settled a bit - here's a write-up on running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (125B-A6B MoE + 51B n-gram table) on relatively middle-tier hardware (RTX 4070 12GB + 64GB DDR5-5600 + Gen4 NVMe o

Hi everybody, we post-trained Qwen 3.8 27B to be more efficient by figuring out which tokens were linked to overthinking and penalizing them without 'attacking' the reasoning length directly then fixe

I'm documenting a reproducible setup for running current llama.cpp on a mixed AMD Vega system with both: Radeon RX Vega 64 / Vega10 / gfx900 (8GB HBM2) Radeon Instinct MI50 (Vega20) / gfx906 (16GB HBM

For many, Vram is precious, I see many people recommend using --no-mmproj-offload to save gpu vram but it is painfully slow. Especially if you are using it with agentic coding. If possible, add that s

Hi everyone, I was interested in learning LoRA fine-tuning, and ended up building CodeFinetuner over the past few months, a full pipeline that fine-tunes a small code autocomplete model (e.g. Qwen2.5-

I was reading up on the recent controversy around Tristan Buckmaster, Levent Alpöge, OpenAI, and the Navier–Stokes result, and it got me thinking about something broader than this particular dispute.

Gemma 4 12B runs on an RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell. Gemma 4 E2B run on a Jetson Orin NX 16GB; similar performance is expected on a Jetson Orin Nano Super 8GB. Both systems use a reSpeaker Flex 4-mic array
