Hi all! I've been building a local agent harness, but before writing the code, I wanted to get some intuition around whether (and how) structuring agent execution as a graph helps vs. standard tool-ca

I discovered something today that I suspect a lot of AI users may not realise. I’ve been pressing 👍 on ChatGPT responses because I thought it meant: 'Yes, this is a good response, this is the register

We're releasing a fully quantized NVFP4 version of Qwen3.8-27B. The checkpoint was trained using quantization-aware distillation (QAD) with QUASAR, our new QAT algorithm. We used the original BF16 mod

Hi all, I'm looking for the best model for a hobby project and trying to make sense of the various data I came across. I know benchmarks do not often translate to the real world, especially to your pa

So I've been going down a rabbit hole trying to run local LLMs without dropping 800+ on a Mac or GPU. RAM prices are insane right now and I realized that used phones have decent unified memory for dir

Hi everyone. I am currently using gemma 4 model and used qwen 3:8b model. My goal is to use claude code to make projects, AI Tools Please help me find out what is more useful. Suppose i have to make a

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

I ended up fine tuning a mistral 7b to outperform our costly foundational model and saved $300k. I previously thought that fine tuning was pointless (it's definitely not) and that all these problems c

I was bored and handwrote a tiny 100-line bash script to let an agent search for and read articles from an offline wikipedia archive during a regular chat. It's not particularly useful, but it's defin

Hi, So I’m running Qwen on M4 Pro (ollama) and it drives me nuts at times. For example it’s trying to use grep with flags which don’t work on Mac. Or it’s writing some python code and failing and then

So here's the thing, almost everyone use NVIDIA to run their LLMs, we also do the same, a lot of people we've met use like RTX PRO 6000 or even H100, B300 It seems like everyone eyes is looking at NVI

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.

I am aware that I may not be able to run some higher end models, but I’m starting my journey into Ollama to learn capabilities and limits of local hosting. What could I expect to run on a Lenovo Think

Hello, I've been self-hosting LLMs on various budget hardware for a while (6x RTX 3060 12 GB, Intel Arc Pro B60 24 GB, RX 9070 XT, etc). Over the last few months, I wrote about it in 4 articles: Gener

ollama ps settles this in one line, and almost nobody runs it before changing their quant. The PROCESSOR column reports exactly one of three things: 100% GPU - every layer on the GPU 100% CPU - the GP

I ran 11 uncensored variants of Gemma 4 12B that I grabbed from huggingface, sorting by downloads. 10 full abliterations plus 2 LoRA adapters which were requested to be added in the comparison, agains

With hopes of a Qwen3.8-35B-A3B release now mostly dashed, many people including myself are looking at fine-tunes and other variants of Qwen3.6-35B-A3B to run on VRAM-limited hardware. I decided to tr

TL:DR: power management was doing auto-suspend and dumping model weights into RAM. Models weights 18gb+ RAM 16gb = no Bueno immediate crash. amdgpu.runpm=0 in your grub disables runtime power manageme

One of the things I like most about Ollama is how low it makes the barrier to experimenting with local models. The downside is that once you move away from high-end hardware, finding the right informa

Hi, I’m having fun using “huihui_ai/Qwen3.6-abliterated:35b-Claude-4.7” for pen testing. It’s uncensored so it does whatever I want. I’m on M4 Pro 14 core 64GB. Just wondering if there are some models

Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up a local LLM on my machine. My goal is to use it with Qwen Code or OpenCode to help me out with small to medium sized tasks, but nothing too big. I tested many differ

For some reason I can only use Ollama through home wi-fi, everytime I try to use it while using my phone as a modem I get an error. Vpn doesn't help. Edit: problem fixed, works perfectly if VPN is in
