Vellium is an open-source, local-first desktop app for AI chat, character roleplay and long-form writing. Recent updates have focused mostly on making local voice and model setups easier to use. Live

I'm very happy with Qwen-3.8-27B, I run it on my work machine and switched for major part of real coding tasks from cloud subscriptions to it. I use one dedicated headless RTX 3090, and get maybe 1000

SlopTV: a YouTube live stream where the chat writes the programming. You type 'capybara dj underwater rave', an LLM inflates it into a 400-word structured video prompt, one of my 5090s renders 15 seco

A hallucinated event, Crono awakens in his modest bedroom of 2095... I am using local models since 2025 January. My daily driver is qwen 3.6 35B A3B, which works pretty well for coding tasks, but I al

I’ve been experimenting with MiniMax H3 and finally have video generation working in TensorSharp. TensorSharp started primarily as a local GGUF/LLM inference engine, so getting a video-generation pipe

I was bored and decided to test some of the image generation. You can see from the images that I got *very* consistent patterns. These were only a few, but I was approaching 20 generations before I st

I have been using the unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 with 157k ctx on vllm currently. But recently I have been seeing post about ninfer lately and how it is like the best way to run qwen 3.8 on RTX 5090 32

This has been a big 2 weeks for local models with 3.8 27B and Next coming out, a lot of 'frontier labs are done' comments which, in general, could certainly be true. Could be trillions in economic val

I have a 2 DGX Spark setup recently and I have been happily running Deepseek V4 Flash 0731. Since the release of GLM5.3 Flash and Qwen 3.8 Flash Next this week, a lot of folks are still waiting to see

TL;DR: k-quants need tensor rows divisible by 256. When they aren't, llama-quantize quietly swaps in a ~4.5 bpw type and the file keeps its low-bit name. I audited 443 quants across 25 repos; 64 are a

I built a benchmark called EchoNet. An agent gets a factual question, then searches a syntheic web I made before answering. Some of that web is seeded with misinformation: one fake page, a fake page r

I read this somewhere and wasn't sure if it's still an issue or if it only affects external models versus all models used via the Claude Code CLI. 'This latest Ollama update finally fixes that issue w

I've got Qwen3.8-Flash-next running on RTX 3090, Ryzen 9 3950X, a PCIe 3.0 motherboard, and 64GB DDR RAM from 2020. IQ4_XS weights, full kvarn5 context, vision on GPU, experts in host RAM, n-grams on

I discovered something today that I suspect a lot of AI users may not realise. I’ve been pressing 👍 on ChatGPT responses because I thought it meant: 'Yes, this is a good response, this is the register

I ended up fine tuning a mistral 7b to outperform our costly foundational model and saved $300k. I previously thought that fine tuning was pointless (it's definitely not) and that all these problems c

Hello, I've been self-hosting LLMs on various budget hardware for a while (6x RTX 3060 12 GB, Intel Arc Pro B60 24 GB, RX 9070 XT, etc). Over the last few months, I wrote about it in 4 articles: Gener

I ran 11 uncensored variants of Gemma 4 12B that I grabbed from huggingface, sorting by downloads. 10 full abliterations plus 2 LoRA adapters which were requested to be added in the comparison, agains

TL:DR: power management was doing auto-suspend and dumping model weights into RAM. Models weights 18gb+ RAM 16gb = no Bueno immediate crash. amdgpu.runpm=0 in your grub disables runtime power manageme

One of the things I like most about Ollama is how low it makes the barrier to experimenting with local models. The downside is that once you move away from high-end hardware, finding the right informa

I’ve been going back and forth on this for a week and I can’t settle it, so I’m hoping someone here has hands-on numbers. The two configs (German prices, dealer quote, incl. VAT): Config Price Mac Stu

As per title. I'm not affiliated with the team behind this model in any way, shape or form. As a GPU poor myself (8 GB VRAM laptop + 12 GB VRAM desktop), I found Laguna to be very promising on my lapt

For the GPU poor among us: I'm curious what results you're getting with low quants of Qwen 27B 3.8. My main inference hardware is limited (Mac mini M4 24 GB), but I'm getting great results with Unslot

This is something I've noticed. Back when GLM 5.2 and Kimi K3 launched, there was a media push on pushing how dangerous open source models are. We know why they were doing this; these open models are

I noticed that a recent Ollama/llama.cpp setup was using a surprising amount of CPU despite the model being fully GPU-offloaded. My setup: Ryzen 9 9950X VM with 16 vCPUs 3× RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Qwen 3.8 2

Has anyone else experimented with ubatch size when running GLM-5.2 locally? I was testing the 226 GiB GLM-5.2-UD-IQ2_XXS GGUF on 3x RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs and got a pretty interesting result. Wit
