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

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

Hey local AI community, I've been working on this for a while and finally feel ok sharing it. It's a cyber benchmark where the model gets a shell in an isolated docker box and has to find the exact fl

Looking for some ideas from people who know a lot more about this than I do. We've got funding for a small AI lab in a public further education college in Ireland (roughly community college in the US)

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

Since my last post, I've been thinking about different options for dynamic performance degradation, trying to squeeze as much high-quality inference out of my GPU as I can. Over the weekend I read thi

FYI the engine's default kernel rules were measured on smaller chips (16/20-core M5s and a 32-core M4 Max), so a 40-core M5 Max runs guesses. Splash's repo includes a developer tool, “make tune-kernel

I'm in a position where I didn't mean to go down this AI rabbit hole... I was looking into mental cognitions and how the mind is made up and learned that my old RTX 5k could run small models. So that

Many a praise have been sung on Qwen-3.8, but here is mine. Qwen-3.8 and I had a rocky start, because it thinks so much. Watching it working is painful, so you have to stop doing that. You have to let

A while ago I posted 15 tok/s output and 100-120 tok/s prompt processing with the IQ3_XXS quant on a 12GB RTX 5070 using llama.cpp. Since then I built my own inference engine for this one model and th
