I have a full M5 Pro Macbook Pro with 48GB of RAM, I'm just getting into this local space. Like many of you, the costs of using frontier/cloud models is getting kinda silly. I don't have any insane ne

I tried using deepseek v4.1 flash max subagents with astra extra high as an orchestrator. It was working perfectly with 1 until it suddenly stopped responding or doing work after 3 hours. Then trying

I have enabled the vision for the CIRU Strix UL4 quant of Qwen 3.8 flash next (others quants likely perform very similar) and tried it on a few things, then wanted to show my partner how great it work

I've seen a lot of Super Mario showcases, but never a mashup or derivative work. So I took a Super Mario generation prompt from ChopSticksPlease's Post here - and added a Matrix twist - and found myse

Hola all. Do you guys mind sharing your LLama.cpp config and system setup details for Qwen3.8 Flash Next? Model's quite big and tryining many combinations of llama.cpp options takes lots of time, so l

last night I was messing around with Codex and threw in a stupid prompt: **“hey codex, find me a girlfriend. make no mistake”** I expected the usual AI answer. You know, go outside, join a hobby club,

I have been battling with my Qwen3.8:27b setup on my rtx 5080 16gb. I am using llama.cpp to run a nvfp4 version of qwen3.8:27b llama-b10699-bin-win-cuda-13.3-x64llama-server.exe -hf williamliao/Qwen3.

The downside of uncensoring a model is that it is known to potentially damage it, but CyberTiel is an even more capable software engineer than its censored TielCoder base, while allowing offensive sec

Spent about two weeks convinced I had a prompting problem. My local Qwen3 agent would just stop. No error, no crash, finish_reason came back as 'stop' like the model had decided it was done. Except it

Model available here: Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Genesis-V1-MTP-GGUF This model is a practical realisation of things described in this paper, but adapted by me for machine learning: https://arxiv.org/pdf/

What is Astra actually supposed to be better at, Because if the answer is “everything,” then I genuinely do not understand what kind of testing was done for writing-heavy use cases. My biggest issue i

I'm the CTO of a mid-size nonprofit, and I run a local Qwen stack as a coding subagent for that work — partly on principle (a fair amount of what I handle shouldn't leave the building), partly because

I kept picking local models badly. Parameter count, quantization, VRAM. I could read all of it and still not know whether a model would be any good on my machine. So I stopped guessing and wrote somet

Privacy have been concern of many of us to have their own hardware to run llms, and here's another reason why: two mathematicians spent a year cracking one of the hardest problems in math and fed ever

Hi all! I just wanna say that I am tired lol. Yes, it's another harness, but I spent a lot of time and effort and have forsaken my hobbies to build the Jenny (like XJ-9) app. Jenny is a free, MIT lice

OK, you guys want to start with local vibecoding but don't know how. In the discussions, you recommended that I use Godot. I downloaded it without knowing what it was. I was expecting a library, but i

Hi, I am thinking about putting some money / time into my local ai learning path and 'cleared' my attic where I found the following hardware. 3 x NUC11 (Core i5 1145G7 / 2,6 GHz, 64 GB RAM DDR4 2666MH

I am getting into developing a RAG setup, for getting information out of existing documents, new document ingestion, web searches, and good visuals. I am planning to use it for, alongside the regular

It started as a fork of llama-swap, but I have been building it out for myself since then as a convenient tool for all my local AI needs, and by now it has drifted far enough to be its own thing. The

Hi all, I have recently been experimenting with different LLM set ups and after everyone was raving about how good Qwen 3.8 27b was, I was inspired to try and get it deploying. After some battling wit

Hey guys, I tested Qwen3.8 Flash with llama.cpp from CPU-only to the full 96GB of my RTX PRO 6000. Short version: CPU-only reached 8.34 tok/s at a 2K prompt Full 96GB reached 109.07 tok/s At 245K cont

TL;DR - yeah it works, no wild skills or patching required. 37-50 tg/s when generating text, spiking over 60tg/s when writing code and mtp hits hard. Your results can be better if you have a better mo

I was bored and decided to test some of the image generation. You can see from the images that I got *very* consistent patterns. These were only a few, but I was approaching 20 generations before I st

Below are the benchmark results for running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on Strix Halo using the Vulkan backend of llama.cpp, combined with MTP model. Hardware Item Details CPU AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 (16C/32T) G

Hey, An LLM writing into durable memory is an unreliable author. It invents, mislabels, restates, and contradicts. Once one of those mistakes is saved, the agent can carry it into every conversation t

Got the new Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (176B total, 6B active MoE) running locally and figured I'd share for anyone else wondering if their setup can handle it. **My hardware:** 192GB DDR5 RAM, RTX 5070 Ti (1

I hit my token limit three times a day on my max subscription - got sick of that and designed this MCP setup to shift some of the coding load to my local Qwen3.8-27B model. I've been iterating on it n

I've been building a small tool opensource project that sits between applications and local LLM servers (starting with Ollama) to diagnose silent inference failures instead of just showing logs. Thing

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

The Artist: Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q3K_XL, q8_0 caches, xhigh, temp 1.0, image-min-tokens 1024, froggeric template) I was screwing around with different Qwen3.8-27B quants and thought of this very simplistic

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

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

I’ve been going back and forth on this for a week and I can’t settle it, so I’m hoping someone here has hands-on numbers. The two configs (German prices, dealer quote, incl. VAT): Config Price Mac Stu

Hi everybody! Every now and then these days, we’re seeing really huge open-weight models popping up. But since not everybody has a DGX Station at home, I’m interested in really small models. It’s incr

I commented on another Qwen 3.8 27B post that I was frustrated getting anything to work. You all gave some great comments. I nuked openwebui and straightened out my llama.cpp docker config. 1 hour of

Thanks to Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 quants coming in slightly leaner and better preserved, I settled on Qwen 3.8 27B (`UD_Q4_K_XL`) at 100K context as my daily driver for Hermes Agent and OpenCode. On an RT

Qwen3.8-27B is amazing, but it’s slow. A stronger 35B-A3B Mixture of Experts-coder that can run and solve real codebase issues fast (even on constrained hardware) is a valuable addition to the arsenal

WARNING: I think I made a mistake with omlx, and its results below seem to be without any kind of acceleration. I am rerunning them with Lightning MTP and ANE support for prefill. Will update the post

Hey r/Ollama, If you run local models on mid-range hardware, you probably know how fast VRAM disappears when you try to set up document memory or local RAG pipelines. I built Hillock (https://github.c

Further to my last post, https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1vldngi/tested_in_coding_bf16_muse_glimmer_vs_bf16_qwen36/, I bring this requested comparison of Qwen3.8 27B. Context: Both models
