Still don't have a good cooling solution, but here are few benchmarks. I lowered the power limit (TDP) to 145 watts each. I changed the firmware on one MI50 to activate the miniDP port. Did have to us

So this is maybe a niche problem, but at my job I work on a huge Python codebase and every time I change some shared function I'm basically playing roulette. grep tells who mentions it in the code bas

Hi everyone, TL/DR I created NInfer 4080 to run ISTA-DASLab-Qwen-3.8-27B-GSQ at 100k context on an RTX 4080 16GB GPU using way more of the hardware capabilities (max overall: 2720 tok/s prefill, 262 t

I love Qwen3.8 27B so much that I decided to show my gratitude to the Alibaba ecosystem by building a dedicated RAG/search node using a cheap Mini PC from AliExpress. Turns out, my ecosystem loyalty g

Full disclaimer: I've leaned heavily on Fable to develop this, but I've tested it thoroughly on my own library for a couple of months before putting it on GitHub. I live in Thailand, and it started as

Benchmarking an LLM here with a NVIDIA RTX 5070 12 GB VRAM here I had been working on a llama.cpp based expert streaming setup for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 177B (UD-IQ3_XXS) on Windows. Benchmark is about 1

Follow-up to last month's post. One of the main issues people ran into was roughness or break-up on some cloned voices. 2610 is an interim update focused mostly on improving that. Reduced roughness an

Hi folks, it's Lewis here from the post-training team at Hugging Face. We've been exploring how to train open models in different coding harnesses and wrote up a looong guide on how we solved this usi

We built an engine, Kyojin, on top of ExLlamaV3 for Strix Halo (gfx1151, ROCm), and packed two 300B-class MoE models so each fits one 128 GB machine. First release, all measured on Ryzen AI Max+ 395.

Innanzitutto, due cose per evitare fraintendimenti. Non sto cercando di sostenere che un modello o un'azienda siano migliori. Non ho alcun interesse personale in nessuno di essi. Volevo solo verificar
