A while ago, I posted here getting OSS-120B and GLM-4.6 playing full games of Civilization V. Since then, models have moved pretty far, and we wanted a better understanding about models' capabilities

Hi r/LocalLLaMA. I'm on the team at Blockway, a small team in Hong Kong (disclosure: this is our model). Today we released Agens Volundr 32B Preview, the first model built on our own hybrid architectu

Disclosure: I made this. Sharing it here because it is fully local and small, and I want feedback from people who run models on their own machines. What it is: a 395M decision model (ModernBERT-large

In this project, I distilled the Stockfish value function into a ResNet/ViT model using 1 billion positions from the Gigafish dataset. The 3.9 billion position dataset is available on huggingface: htt

Purely a hobby side project to see how far I can push a really small model, using (mostly) automated training pipelines Full synthetic data: https://huggingface.co/datasets/dirac-run/ec-training-data

After some recommendations for hardware (I'm starting from nothing), in the region of £6-7k. I will be mainly looking to use it for coding and have found Deepseek V4.1 Flash or Qwen3.8 27b good and so

Picture from a post in r/amodei . People were praising qwen and I'm just wondering, what kind of new technologies are at play here? Does qwen just have 'better' pre training data? That's more high qua

Hey r/LocalLLaMA, Like many anime fans, I've always been frustrated by traditional MT engines (like Google Translate or base DeepL) when dealing with raw Japanese anime: - They completely butcher Japa

Bit of a side project I wanted to share. The metrics are 17.5tks decode, 360tks prompt processing based testing against my normal ai usage. I tested a couple of new things others haven’t done (at leas

This is related to my previous post where I shared an encoder-only transformer model trained on ohiot1dm + shanghait1dm + azt1d datasets. This time I trained the model on the outputs of my T1DM patien

Following on from club-5060ti and club-rdna16, I’ve put together Infermeld: a small, open-source Linux companion kit for running one GGUF across an AMD GPU and an NVIDIA GPU, powered by llama.cpp. I’m

Hi everyone! I'm part of the Lokutor team. Last week we presented Oído here, and the response was amazing. We've received dozens of videos and messages from you guys saying you love it. Thank you! Now

Finally finished my fork: https://github.com/IceFog72/ik_llama.cpp Nothing else I wanted to add/try currently works In short, it now has: Bandwidth-adaptive CPU/GPU execution Shared expert-residency i

Hey all, I don't know if you guys are experiencing the same thing, but there is this behaviour that i have been noticing on the latest models on openAI (since sol 5.6) and Anthropic since Fable 5.1 an

Got Kolibri-1 to play Breakout completely on its own, no fine-tuning. The more we explore u/Aleph__Alpha’s Kolibri the more it get's exciting and its potential. Less talk. More Breakout is one such ex

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the interest in my model. It's more than I expected. Here is a short summary of the trial and error I went through while building Apex-2. 1. GPUs were always the

Looking for some assistance /ideation. I am running qwen flash next q4 in my Mac mini m5 64gb. QFN doesn’t fit so this is done by having as many experts hot in cache as possible and streaming in the r

I'm using Qwen3.8-Flash-Next running on my Mac Studio as a daily driver for coding + productivity tasks, and yesterday it did something weird: I had it do some product research on amazon, so it was do

Haven't seen posted here. The research project matters because it proves you can pull trustworthy decisions straight out of an LLM's internal state in a single forward pass (no generation loop, no par

Said in title, I find the ecosystem difficult to understand, and RTFMing doesn't help me as it's never clear what is the server vs their client library ? I'm using it for voxtral 3B on one GPU, but it

I wanted to test how well local models perform in agentic development with Copilot CLI. I started ollama launch copilot --model qwen3.5:9b. I gave it simple instruction in autopilot mode to create a f

So PewDiePie decides to fine-tune a local AI model called Ajax on his own computer. Pretty normal stuff for local model fans. To make his dataset, he uses OpenAI's API. OpenAI catches him using their

Hi folks, LIVE PROJECT PAGE TLDR: Moral of the story. You need better CPU to do actual agentic coding doing real work... I've been on a mission to make my RTX5090 go brrr for past 2 months so much so

Hey all. We've spent the last weeks getting Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (125B MoE, 6B active) to run properly on one AMD Strix Halo box (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128 GB). Tonight we're releasing both the 95 GB EXL3

Looks like new open model coming soon and will be 'strong' hopefully something under 200b for us memory poor. Also seeing statements about more western open models coming. Hope we get some good compet

tl;dr: I created a fully-local open-source full-duplex voice agent that rivals GPT-Live on some benchmarks. It uses Voxtral Realtime with a turn-taking head, a microturn-finetuned Gemma 4 12B and Bree

I have been using Qwen3.8-27b-iq4xs variants for the past few weeks, tweaking parameters and running random tasks, but I dove into using https://github.com/Niko1221/Strata today and it has given me 2~

On my two DGX Sparks, Swift 1.5 (UkisAI's reasoning-efficient fine-tune of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next) running on veloGB10 (https://github.com/sf-stav/veloGB10, sf-stav's Rust/CUDA engine built only for GB10)

My setup is two RTX 5070 Ti 16GB cards (the second one is on an OCuLink dock) with 64GB of RAM, Ollama on Windows, and the agent runs on pi in WSL. Until last night the daily model was Qwen3.8 27B UD-

I've been using deepseek for long and made valuable outputs and resources, but since the update to the 4.1, deepseek just feels dumb. I ask a simple question and process for long, doesn't plan before

I keep testing harness & model setups on real tasks: basic math, vision, computer use (reading emails, navigating stores) and coding. I created a benchmark and a leaderboard. You can see it here: http

I forked Strata and worked with Opus 5.5 with some heavy changes to it to make it work on an IBM AC922 I have access to. The IBM AC922 is a 2018 era beast with two POWER9 20 core SMT4 CPUs that are co

Whenever I feed codebases into local models (Qwen, DeepSeek R1) or API models, the biggest annoyance is prompt pollution: - Lockfiles (`Cargo.lock`, `package-lock.json`) burning 30,000+ tokens for zer

How is JEV any different from using an embeddings model? I really will appreciate if someone can explain this to me - because I have yet to see the difference. I'll even give you my JEV server for fre

Hi everyone, Sharing a personal project exploring the minimal bare-metal footprint required to run an autoregressive LLM. Instead of relying on large runtimes or compiler abstractions, I wrote an infe

For the last few months, I ran DeepSeek v4.0 flash (NVFP4). First 0731, then visionexp because it was a free improvement. I got around 65 tps decode and almost 2k prefill, and ran 4-5 agents in parall

​ From the first LLaMA 33B I knew I wanted that magic-like intelligence locally, mine, so nobody could take it away when I needed it. I bought a 3090 for my home PC. Then LLaMA 65B appeared and I was
