I see this kind of approach quite often with local AI models. For example, when optimizing models for an RTX 3090, people sometimes convert them from FP8 to INT8 so they can run efficiently on Ampere

I was bored and decided to test some of the image generation. You can see from the images that I got *very* consistent patterns. These were only a few, but I was approaching 20 generations before I st

I am doing a lot of translation work with different languages, and German is just exceptionally well done by Qwen 3.8 27B. It is lengths ahead of GPT-5.6 and even Fable 5. With the frontier models I o

I used the quantized n-gram to INT4, it's 32 GB, memory-mapped from disk. I confirmed that it works great on 150-160k context, and i was watching all the time my VRAM usage while doing single thread l

If you own 4xR9700 and were waiting for the model to make them shine, then I have some good news for you! It's running at 80-120 tokens/second for generation and 12k token/second prefill for a single

I have been using the unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 with 157k ctx on vllm currently. But recently I have been seeing post about ninfer lately and how it is like the best way to run qwen 3.8 on RTX 5090 32

Hey all, You’ve probably noticed that using LLMs and AI agents for pentesting has become pretty common lately. The problem is there isn’t really a good way to figure out which model is actually best s

I got a 50% performance boost (20 t/s -> 30 t/s) in llama.cpp for MoE models that don’t fit entirely in VRAM—in my case, Qwen 3.8 Flash Next. The idea is simple: instead of offloading entire layers to

People who moved from older version to this new one, how much improvements do you see on inference? Ex: llama.cpp performance? This new version comes with Linux Kernel 7.0. Hope AMD cards gonna enjoy

Folks! We're just 50 PRs away from more faster inference. Hopefully by end of year. Experts!, please chip in there. List of Open/Ongoing PRs(and also Discussions) related to CPU/RAM/Disk/Hybrid: [Disc

TL;DR: Every public low-bit GGUF of this model is secretly ~4.70 bpw. Shim the rows to 256 and it becomes a real 3.07 bpw / 11.77 GiB file that runs 262K context on 16GB. Needs patched llama.cpp — not
