Parody captions on the legendary Risitas interview. The $14k/mo figure is from real reporting on heavy AI power users - the best customers really can be the most expensive ones to serve. He's still su

Just ordered a TB5 enclosure plus 4TB SSD to prepare for M5 Ultra 512GB. I am planning to download the following models in advance. Would like to ask the M3 Ultra 512GB owners whether the quants are t

Repo: https://github.com/Saren-Arterius/qwen3.8-Flash-DGX-AutoRound I forked from blazux/qwen3.8-Flash-DGX and stole all the ideas from previous qwen 3.5 122b recipes, and created a hybrid model with

When using kvarn quants at low context depth tg speed is similar to llama.cpp on and equivalent qx_x quant. However, as context depth grows kvarn tanks your tg speed. This fork optimises kvarn to have

Hello! I was looking into quantizing models and i saw how Hy4 was shrunk from 1.5 TB to 200GB with high retention in benchmarks (98% i think). I was wondering if: a) it would be worth it to attempt th

Hey guys, I tested Qwen3.8 Flash with llama.cpp from CPU-only to the full 96GB of my RTX PRO 6000. Short version: CPU-only reached 8.34 tok/s at a 2K prompt Full 96GB reached 109.07 tok/s At 245K cont

## Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-NVFP4 (inferact) vs Qwen3.8-27B-FP8 (qwen) Slammed with work and no time to pretty this up. Qwen wrote most of this but I checked the data. All tests done on the same rig, same p

Mac Studio, 96GB unified memory (M3 Ultra). I want the largest usable Qwen3.8-Flash-Next setup, and I'd rather not burn 100GB of bandwidth on the wrong download. Here's my math. Please tell me which p

Stumbled around a post about optimizing new Qwen up to 178t/s with a patched version of sglang : https://github.com/jpezzulli/sglang-rtxpro6000 I managed to reproduce results (kudos to jpezzulli, whom

TL;DR: Ninfer/DS4 but for RDNA4 Highly custom kernels built for RDNA4, applied to vLLM-Radiance to greatly improve Qwen3.8 Flash Next speeds. This is mostly for dual R9700s with preferably 48GB of RAM

TL;DR - yeah it works, no wild skills or patching required. 37-50 tg/s when generating text, spiking over 60tg/s when writing code and mtp hits hard. Your results can be better if you have a better mo

Interesting new paper from Alexia Jolicoeur-Martineau (of Tiny Recursive Model fame) and collaborators. They seem to be able to replace quadratic attention with sliding window attention + attention si

Sori-1B is a 1B-parameter audio-language model built by a single SNU researcher whose core claim to fame is that its decoder is trained entirely from scratch on audio-paired text — no text-only pretra

A hallucinated event, Crono awakens in his modest bedroom of 2095... I am using local models since 2025 January. My daily driver is qwen 3.6 35B A3B, which works pretty well for coding tasks, but I al

With b10726, the default --lazy-mode change keeps the 51B-parameter PLE n-gram embedding table of Qwen 3.8 Flash Next on disk: it is mmap'd and its rows are read on demand during inference, even with

Hi All, I am currently contemplating an upgrade from my 5060ti 16gb. I am getting ~40t/s with 130k context on Qwen 3.8 IQ3_S HF quant. I am running llama.cpp on linux. Objective is to increase context

So, ideally for this thread we exclude the ones that everyone on here is already well aware of and discussing on here a lot, like N-gram, quantization improvements, MTP, D-flash, and D-spark, since th

When using two GPU with llama.cpp with --split-mode layer you usually provide a --tensor-split value to fit the proportion of the allocation on each GPU, say you have 16GB + 12GB something like --tens

I'm running Muse Glimmer 30B EXL3-SC 3.00bpw H4, fully resident on my 12GB VRAM GPU at 100K context with Q8_O KV cache. It's a joy to use a dense 30B model at this size and still get 30 tok/s on a VRA

I built SpeakoFlow Mini, an Apache-2.0 fine-tune of Qwen3.5-0.8B for dictation cleanup. It is not a chat model or a general rewriter. It takes speech-to-text output, applies corrections the speaker ac

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

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
