Looking into the new Qwen architecture, I was curious if you could modify the Ngram PLE Table to make it work like a long-term knowledge database. It turns out that, with some limitations, you can. I

Sharing some numbers because most posts on this model are either using a single 3090 or unified systems from what I've seen. My current setup: 2x RTX 3090 (PCIe 3.0), dual Xeon E5-2696 v4, 188 GB usab

This may be somewhat specific to Qwen3.8 27b and the Apple M5 series, perhaps, but enough of us are running this combo that it's worth tossing out there. GGUF models with MTP have been the fastest way
Alright, I posted that I had my agent test a bunch of different workflows for over 12 hours and got the 'Bro just wasted 12 hours of credits'. It was obvious the proof should come from the visual data
