ninfer, dwarfstar, Splash, llamAmpere, gufo, etc. We've all seen them popping up, great tok/s, people loving them. Forks of llama.cpp or another engine, or made from scratch. For better or worse, the

IQuest-Q1 is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model developed by IQuest for agentic coding, reasoning, and multi-step tool use. It comprises approximately 320B total parameters, with an estimated 15B parame

Ornith-1.5-9B-DFlash pairs the Ornith-1.5-9B model with a DFlash draft model for speculative decoding. https://huggingface.co/ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-9B-DFlash Ornith-1.5-397B-DFlash pairs the Ornith-1.5

I'm running Qwen 3.8 27B Q4 XS with ~30 t/s decode (no MTP) at 100k context with q8/q5 KV cache on a 16GB AMD GPU. I wanted to share my setup since many believe Qwen 3.8 27B to be infeasible on 16GB V

I started mapping the building blocks shared across all the models in audio.cpp. The result ended up being more interesting than I expected. Qwen has become by far the most common language backbone in

Thanks to tcclaviger, vLLM now has expert RAM offloading support (link). This makes frontier models much more accessible on a local setup! I was able to run the original DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp o

You may think that jev, OpenClaw or TurboQuant are super cool, but actually the coolest LLM invention happened two years ago As we all know, the best source of reliable information about LLMs is YouTu

We have released Qwen3.8-Flash-Next quantized with GSQ and RCO, together with a second, capability-targeted build in which half of the model's experts have been removed. Flash-Next is a sparse mixture

Not an LLM, but the ternary findings should carry over, and we hadn't seen Sherry-style 3:4 weights run in a browser before. Disclosure: this is our work at Precisit, everything is MIT. What it is A 7

TL;DR: I'm a solo dev who wanted a simple, private way to have local LLMs watch my screen and do simple logging/notifying. After a year of building, I released v3.0.0 and my mom was able to use it for

For example, directly using claude code or code, which is then hooked up to automatically delegate the actual code writing tasks to a local model like qwen 3.8 flash next, to save on cloud usage limit

Hello everyone! A little while back I posted about LlamAmpere, a fork of Llama.cpp with Ampere-specific improvements (though it is caught up to main and will support other hardware, too). Thank you to

Basically the idea is take your favorite model, for example qwen3.8-27b or say dsv4vision. Strip everything out that is not needed by that model so the only thing needed is just for the model. Optimiz

Other than the obvious self promotion, is there a practical reason people do this that I am missing? There's dozens of llamacpp forks with silly names that are supposedly 'optimized' for this or that

Here's the project. I have nothing to do with it. I'm just an amazed user. https://github.com/gufo-org/gufo/blob/main/docs/models/qwen3.8-flash-next/BENCHMARKS.md Those benchmark numbers hold up on re

I've liked how Muse-Glimmer worked, so I wanted to see if I could produce a smaller 'kid' out of it. Ornith's sharp decisions on when to think and which tool to call were the other thing I liked, so O

Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 26+ come with a small LLM built in. No download, no API key, and nothing leaves your Mac. Why I built it I was making a tool that writes API docs from code, and I didn't wa

Six months ago, a result like this was unthinkable. But now we can say it loud and clear: local models are at the cutting edge, and the gap of just a few months has been confirmed. Personally, I use Q

TL;DR -- You should probably just use base Qwen3.6-35B, as only Occamy-1.0 is competitive with it. Tiel is a major let-down, worse than Ornith. KAT surprises (good), Nex surprises (bad). This post is

Hi everyone :) The amazing Swift finetunes of Qwen3.8 27B generate much fewer tokens at mostly similar benchmark performance to the original model, while repos like HyperQwen (formerly syv-ai/qwen38-2

I am new to all this so still a lot to learn. If I give Qwen3.8 27B a coding task to fix some bugs in some code, it went through and found and fixed several in like 5 or 10 minutes. I gave qwen flash

EDIT: About that, I tried it out, and it's garbage so far. I did some basic tests through AIHubMix (do not use that platform btw, it's trash), and my agent did some comparison. I guess it figures, it
