I've been building a small decision model for agent loops: gates, routers, 'should I ask the user or just act' checks. It's out now as Mica v0.1 4B (Apache-2.0). What it does You give it a state, a qu

I am new to this and a week or so ago I setup a local ai box, it is an amd 9950x with 64gb ddr5 6000 ram, 2 rtx 5090s (on motherboard that does pcie gen 5 x8 per card). It is working fine but I have b

Prefill step size affects both PP performance and your drafter fetching logits for MTP (affects dflash as well, mlx-vlm needs to be patched slightly to support chunked prefill for dflash). It also nee

Since my last post, I've been thinking about different options for dynamic performance degradation, trying to squeeze as much high-quality inference out of my GPU as I can. Over the weekend I read thi

I’ve been experimenting with whether Qwen3.8-Flash-Next’s pretrained PLE n-gram memory can improve a much smaller Qwen3.5-0.8B model. I trained the 0.8B setup with limited resources, mostly using free

FYI the engine's default kernel rules were measured on smaller chips (16/20-core M5s and a 32-core M4 Max), so a 40-core M5 Max runs guesses. Splash's repo includes a developer tool, “make tune-kernel

TL;DR - Swift Flash is a killer model that massively reduces excess reasoning. Try it out! If you haven't seen from my previous comparison posts, I'm a huge fan of the Swift Qwen3.8 models. I've been

Been dealing with the same thing a lot of people here probably are - RAM prices keep climbing and buying a single machine with enough memory for the models I actually want to run just isn't realistic

I have a tool that uses Gemini Flash with the lowest thinking budget to do summarization work. It's very fast, 0.9-1.2s in most cases. But I have a user experience problem where people make the wrong

Hello! I am currently building my local AI server, I have the Huananzhi H12D-8D EPYC Motherboard with 8x16GB memory sticks at 2666 mhz (waiting for the other components at the moment) I currently have

Hi people, I am looking for a lightweight IDE or plugin that won't inject large context at initiation. I tried Cline and native VS Code but they inject such heavy initial context that it fills up my g

Just watched a video from three years ago where Matt Berman tested Bard (yes, remember Bard?) and most of the tests were like summarization or logic tests. If it ever came to coding, it was the snake

Ok, so the Mac M5 Ultra (256GB) hit the market, but the only publicly available benchmarks material are flashy YouTube 'clown influencers' videos. We need serious numbers to evaluate whether Apple’s s

I’m releasing OpenJudgement-4B-Preview, an experimental Qwen-based model fine-tuned on custom datasets for classification, scoring and true/false judgments. It scores answer options directly, and Pyth

Hi, sorry if this doesn't belong here. Getting to the point basically, I've been using online-only AI like GPT/Gemini since 2022, and have been interested in local models but am clueless overall. Yes

Just wanted to share with someone - don't have much to report yet. I am interested in this new AliceAI model and have been wanting to make a community impact for a while - and releasing an initial age

Just a quick PSA. llama.cpp does have prompt caching. if you are running large context lengths and have long multiturn projects, increasing -cram can provide you with massive speedups. There is a poin

Many a praise have been sung on Qwen-3.8, but here is mine. Qwen-3.8 and I had a rocky start, because it thinks so much. Watching it working is painful, so you have to stop doing that. You have to let

A while ago I posted 15 tok/s output and 100-120 tok/s prompt processing with the IQ3_XXS quant on a 12GB RTX 5070 using llama.cpp. Since then I built my own inference engine for this one model and th

I was actually pretty happy with my Qwen3.8-27b setup, and I'd been tinkering with Ninfer to have a version that was 'fast but maybe a bit stupid' and the speed was nice to have as a backup. But I was

With the release of ThinkingCap-Qwen3.8-27B, I thought it would be worthwhile to do a comparison between the original Qwen3.8-27B, the new ThinkingCap, and Swift-Qwen3.8-27B. Both Swift which I alread

Hi, this is the research project I'm working on. I must say, building a GUI harness is way more complicated than I thought. The goal is something like Minecraft. You know, a few simple tools that a us
