I initially saw CED as just an efficiency improvement, but the more I read about it, the more it feels like an inference architecture leap. The encoder/decoder split has some pretty interesting implic

Hi, I'm wondering what settings you are using in order to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on your devices? I'm especially interested in setups with 96GB VRAM. I'm not quite sure if llama.cpp does offload the e

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

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

The LLM is limited to NPC emulation. Game state, world logic, quests, and the authored story are handled by deterministic game systems rather than the LLM. I built it this way because I wanted the fre

TL;DR My TAK quant of Qwen 3.8 27b scored 82.81% on reasoning, comparted with 77.34% for the byte matched Unsloth UD IQ2_S and 83.59% for BF16. Edit: Some of you have tried coding with this reasoning-

TL;DR: switching KV cache to f16 may give a boost in speed if using MTP and ngrams. I have a self-built 'AI mega-cluster' with 2x P40s on a cheap Chinese motherboard and a Xeon CPU (around $1,100 to b

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: Self-learning needs governance, observability, and auditability. Sounds great, it's not great unless you have serious and appropriate protections. Let me lead this off with what we are most pro

Hey all, and hello fellow DGX Spark-ers! Today I managed some pretty crazy numbers: 181 tok/s aggregate on 2× DGX Spark on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next at 512Kcontext (2.8M kvc) I hit 181 tok/s aggregate today

Everything has changed in two months: DS4 0731 flash was the start of a wave that is taking open weights to paradise. It is easy to think that Qwen 4 and GLM 6 will be on par with Mythos. submitted by

Yet another vLLM fork thread here, but this time its for older INT8-centric hardware. This is a complete INT8 serving stack for Qwen3.8 27B based on vLLM, AITER, and a 27B GPTQ INT8 quant w/ DFlash2.

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

We have been working on some performance optimisations for Qwen3.8 and other models. The main new feature that we introduced is adaptive speculation for Llama.cpp What is it? MTP and DFlash work well

My best bet is the embedding-offloaded linear where the 51b n-grams track semantics and context, like 3.8 with its loss of real world knowledge bolted back on. Otherwise? Sparse full-attention with de

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

Hi, Back in late march I begun playing around with Qwen 3.6 27b and found like everyone else that it's notoriously good at tool calls, where every model I tried before just derailed after a few turns
