So everyone has been yelling about how I should be using Gufo instead of halogen because it's open source and it's 'just as good or better'. Checking in on their GitHub (GitHub.com/gufo-org/gufo) got

A few days ago I released Jeff-Qwen3.5-0.8B, a small 'System 1' model that picks between options you define and returns a calibrated probability for each, in one forward pass. Speed was great on my M4

Hello all, I wanted to share a little project I vibe-coded for myself that you may find useful. As many people here like to suggest, I wanted to give my small local LLMs access to information to impro

vLLM's tensor parallel requires that several of the model architecture numbers be evenly divisible by the number of GPUs selected for tensor parallel. This usually means that you can only use a number

Hybrid search, reranking, query decomposition, and query expansion are often treated as must-haves for good RAG. We wanted to see how much each actually helped, so we tested them. Same model, same emb

Hello guys. Recently, there has been a boom in game decomps and recomps thanks to AI. If you look at the r/decomps and r/recomps subreddits, you can see it. They mostly seem to be using Claude or Code

Hello guys! I have been experimenting with qwen 3.8 for a long time and I hadn't been able to get reasonable speed. I am on a 5060Ti 16 GB, and although this gpu can game, I am aware that AI demands m
