I've hit again a point where me as a developer have to take a break from all this slop shit. Im a Developer for 13+ years and i loved it. But i fell for the slop trap. First it started with copilot an

So, I’m currently just short of being able to run the mainline dense SLMs (Qwen 27b/Gemma 31b), running a i9-14900F/RTX4070 Super/32GB DDR5 setup w/ a 700W 80 Gold PSU and a MSI PRO B760-VC WI-FI IV m

I've been tinkering with local LLMs since the beginning of the year when I had an Intel Arc B580 and 32 GB of DDR5. Curiosity got the best of me and I bought the first R9700 about half a year ago, als

TL;DR: switching KV cache to f16 may give a boost in speed if using MTP and ngrams. I have a self-built 'AI mega-cluster' with 2x P40s on a cheap Chinese motherboard and a Xeon CPU (around $1,100 to b

Was considering choosing a 4xRadeon AI Pro R9700 build for a office AI server. Curious to know what results you guys are getting? Mainly considering DeepSeek V4 flash and Qwen 3.8 Flash with offloadin

This comparison was requested by a few people, and certainly we were all eager to see the final results. The comparison had taken 11 days and the GPU was crunching numbers for ~167 hours. We've been c

Hi everybody, I am in a tricky situation. My grandfather + grandmother live in a remote village in asia, and were visiting us in the city. My grandfather has absolutely fallen in love with AI, and it

So after all my work, yeah, Raymond did it better, so I ported his work over, extended it turboX, extended it multiple other models (he had only Qwen models), and benchmarked the crap out of it to mak

While we see for frontier models similar scores among famous coding benchmarks, across: DeepSWE, Terminal-Bench, LiveCodeBench, Code-Arena ELO. Here are in my opinion some next level benchmarks that r

I'm using DS-V4-Flash-Vision with Q8_K_XL quantization locally as my everyday engine, and for some time now I've been doing a lot of comparisons with Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, also with Q8_K_XL quantization

Hello everyone. I felt current LLM benchmark harnesses hand you headline numbers but offer no tooling to see how models actually answered each question (they dump everything to a JSONL or Parquet file

I only use free tiers of these large models to offset compute while my own system runs and for 'different' points of view, since what pops ups suggestions seems to vary a lot sometimes, even when buil

Hi, I've been wanting to run my own local LLM for some time and I finally saved enough to get a budget GPU. I can spend 700 at most, and I'm looking for a GPU that can run quantized 30B~ parameter mod

Right, so this is going to be embarrassing but it's presumably something we've all been through at one point or another, and I guess this is my first time resolving something like this in the way that

Hello, I'm a bit obsessed with cache management on local LLMs. For the last few days I've been working on cache management on vLLM with my 2x DGX Spark and DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731. I felt something was

You need Blender 5.x with MCP extension. I use pi so I also need: pi install npm:pi-mcp-adapter and then: $ cat .mcp.json { 'mcpServers': { 'blender': { 'command': '/home/jacek/.local/bin/uvx', 'args'

Hi everyone I'm running four rtx 4090, 64GB ram, on a threadripper pro motherboard so all PCIe x16 ports, as a homelab machine for coding. I was migrating from vllm + qwen 3.8 27B (fp8+256k kv cache)

Hugging face has over 300 versions of qwen3.8-27b. I have no idea how to identify the beat model to download and use. Should I sort by “most likes” or “most downloads”? Is there any sort of other guid

I just spent the last 2 hours of my life on a Friday night debugging a strange error in a prod CLI app. EF core was receive a readonlyspan during a Contains query. Normally, this query converted to a

Time for another update! We have been busy and managed to improve the gains substantially (mostly from exploring existing llama cpp PRs and adopting relevant things). Among other things the README.md

I have a 5070 Ti and two 5060 Ti (all 16Gb cards). I planned to add another 5070 Ti giving me two pairs of 32Gb each but the NVidia prices have just jumped by 25% where I am and I've found a 3090 Foun

OK, you guys want to start with local vibecoding but don't know how. In the discussions, you recommended that I use Godot. I downloaded it without knowing what it was. I was expecting a library, but i

I've updated my auto_demo_scener project with Ninfer support and a “rewrite based on video” feature that I thought you might find interesting. The project is basically an endless demoscene machine. A

Hiya, NInfer is amazng for Qwen, but lacking for real-world-use. As adoption of issues/pr's was not really what I needed, I created a fork and hit it for this week with 3 concurrent claude code sessio

Otaku is an LLM frontend, primarily designed for roleplay, an alternative to SillyTavern and the like. However, It also works for general-purpose chat with local backends (including Ollama) or cloud m

Used qwen3.8-27b in Opencode to make this silly mini-game because I'm not sober: ``` We are going to play a game, it will be the Wikipedia game. The Wikipedia game has the following rules: You will ha

First, I'd like to thank the Qwen and Unsloth teams for the Qwen3.8 27b UD Q4_K_XL. Fits the poor 24GB of 3090 VRAM with 100k context at Q8 and works phenomenally well! Imho if theres anything that ca

I see a new one being launched every few days... How do these new harnesses compare to claude code, pi etc. has anyone switched from these? which harness to prefer and why submitted by /u/Background-J

I built a denser GGUF format for ternary models: Q2_B3 / “B3S” If you're running a ternary model like BitNet-b1.58 or Ternary-Bonsai, the weights are already restricted to -1, 0, or +1 times a block s

I always heard that cryptocurrency mining can damage a GPU ( it's maybe wrong) so how much long term inference is damaging a GPU? I mean servers are made for 25/7 operation... Gaming GPUs not so sure?

How good/bad is it against comparable MoEs the same size? How does it compare against Qwen 3.6 35BA3B? Since we don't have 3.8 35B this seems like an upgrade if we look at some benchmarks like termina

Let's say I have 2x 16Gb GPUs and I want to run Qwen3.8 27B. Monitor is ran by the integrated GPU so both 16Gb GPUs are almost fully free. I load the UD-Q4_K_S on one card at 15.4Gb. I then load the c
