I think that mall models between 10B and 40B are the real gamechanger. These models will be the ones that will make the AI buble pop and big companies like Anthropic and OpenAi go to hell. We are curr

In the past, I have use llama.cpp, but I read that the exl3 quantization format should give better precision, so I have tried exllamav3/tabbyAPI. It was able to write the shown simple HTML game withou

Yet another vLLM fork thread here, but this time its for older INT8-centric hardware. This is a complete INT8 serving stack for Qwen3.8 27B based on vLLM, AITER, and a 27B GPTQ INT8 quant w/ DFlash2.
