TL;DR: llama.cpp with --load-mode mmap used 21-32 GB of RAM, with ik_llama.cpp using 106-108 GB. -sm tensor killed my prefill, changing to -sm layer went from 36 tps to 135 tps. After that, -ubatch 20

Ever since Qwen 3.8 Flash Next dropped, there's a misconception going around that N-gram tables will let people run 1T+ parameter models on a single server with 980B parameters offloaded to SSD. I'm h

I don't know what's happening. So, when i use models in openwebui everything works, ollama uses the GPU fully, everything's perfect. Then, I use Hermes, and loads the model in VRAM (fully, no offload

Just came across this coding benchmark: SciCode Artificialanalysis.ai reports a ranking which contradicts the feeling we've towards those models in real life coding. Is Gemma 4 really that good, or a

Hey fellow llamas. we have something new for Strix Halo owners we thought would be useful to share. i'll keep it short: We were able to fit DeepSeek V4 Flash plus its speculative draft on a single Ryz

Since a lot more people are trying to build their own multi-GPU machines, I thought I should help to prevent a common mistake people make with building multi-GPU machines. Which is using an Intel cons

Hi, I see that vllm released d3 (a family of decision models) and llama.cpp already has support for them. I want to try them out. Are decision models sensitive to quantization? I know that for autocom

recently saw a bunch of open decision models pop out of nowhere in the last two weeks (laya, liquid's d1, cloudflare's clef-flash, interfaze's lev), so I wanted to see how far apart they actually are

Follow up update of this post here I added mask support to the reference strength node. You can now increase or reduce attention to a selected part of a reference instead of adjusting the whole photo.
