A while ago I asked here how to turn ~5 million court decisions into structured graphs without running an expensive LLM on every document thanks for the advice . I went with the 'small extractor + cla

First of all, thank you for reading. I trained a small MoE model completely from scratch (no external base weights) and wanted to share the results + a couple of lessons. Apex-2 - Architecture: Decode

Given the commentary on the Q3.8FN release page here https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.8-flash-next I assume/hope that all the work that's going on to optimise the hell out of running it will be useful wh

I've been looking at the <32B model space and keep coming back to an interesting question. A few years ago, projects like Hummingbird+ suggested that cheap custom accelerators (FPGA-based) might becom

I wanted to know if theres anything that can improve creative writing for our Local Models? I specificly am asking for qwen models as they are way better when it comes to researching and writing html

So Kimi K2 is outdated, and so is GPT OSS 120b. Which of the modern open weights models can boast the least sycophancy? I need this both for creative/research assistant usage (sycophancy led me down b

I tried both these models on a few small agentic tasks with tools (i.e. 'What's the weather like today?', etc.). They're both pretty solid at using web search to find answers despite being small model

So I tried that miracle engine everyone is talking about. Asked the IQ3_S model to express its opinion on a post from this sub to measure the tps on a long-ish generation: Can you help with the follow

Help with this list. Give me your recommendation on 'not supported anymore' GPUs. Looking for budget and Vulkan friendly options. Most of the GPU are not supported by latest CUDA / ROCm. Often with so

I forked llama.cpp's server into AgrillaMoE, a dedicated build for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (~A4B) with Unsloth quants. On a (vant.ai) rented V100 16GB with the 2-bit UD-Q2_K_XL quant it generates at ~57-60 to

I've been wanting to test out LLM inference on FPGAs for a while now, but didn't have a big reason too since there were no frontier class models at 9B-27B scale (3.6 27B was great still but it didn't

Not a bot. Not a Strata shill. Just sharing my experience. So, I have an R9700 in my machine, plus an RTX 5060 Ti, and 64GB DDR5 system RAM. Overall, not a bad setup. Anyway, I mainly run a daily driv

I have been running the same midrange card for a couple of years now, and every model release sends me back to the price sheets. The performance gains are real but they keep landing next to price tags

IQ3_XXS weights are just under 80GB and my slowww DDR4+7900XTX is stabilizing around 45-70/s (sometimes higher while coding depending on mtp). Looking online I'm seeing similar results for users with

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

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

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
