Hey r/LocalLLaMA, Prism-LM recently released its Bonsai 2 QAT models based on Qwen3.8, and they quickly gained traction. In our evaluation, the models strike a strong balance between throughput and qu

Yoyo I renamed https://github.com/syv-ai/qwen38-27b-rtx3090 to https://github.com/syv-ai/HyperQwen/ to focus more on Qwen models and 'local' hardware in general, than just a single card and a single m

We compared 20 model versions on 360 frozen joke prompts, with four jokes requested per prompt and model names hidden from our humor-trained judge. Fable 5 had the highest estimated score: 66.8 points

I released KaozKit this week, a Swift library for running LLM agents written in JavaScript inside a Mac app. Built from the start to keep everything local. Providers: MLX with Hugging Face model manag

Hey Reddit. This is a post asking for advice / user experience. The goal is simple: deploy a small private server for a developer to run a harness that rivals/beats Claude Opus (in perf/intelligence,

I spent the first week of September building a personal assistant over Gemma 4 in Ollama on a 16 GB M1 Pro: Node backend, React web UI, Expo phone client, two-model routing, cross-session memory, RAG

I posted something about a 9b model a few days ago. The real problem was 2 fold. Someone suggested the size was too big to prove it all out. It's a fair argument. I needed the model depth though. The

I've been working on something that started as the training backend for my Hierarchos architecture, but it has grown into a much broader project: https://github.com/necat101/Hierarchos-Native Hierarch

I wanted to test what Qwen 3.8 27B running locally on a single 5090 could do in Row-Bot. I gave it just one prompt: 'I want you to create an animation showing what the current local model can do. Test

With the recent Nvidia Huggingface acquisition and frontier AI labs screaming about safety and putting guardrails everywhere, I think it's important that we have local models that aren't affected by a

I've been working on something for this community (and other self-hosted communities) for almost 5 months now. Personally, I would grade it as probably the closest open source equivalent of Manus and

Two months ago I announced I had found a new dynamic quant method called Voodoo Quant which was SOTA for the most aggressive quant levels on some smaller Qwen3.5 GGUF models. I kept the methodology pr

I reallise this is not exactly a locally hostable model, at least definitly not on my hardware. But I figured some of you might have some insight on this. I run an agentic coding benchmark. The model

I had all the data saved from AA's v4.1 index, so when they upgraded it in the wake of Astra's release, I could actually generate a before/after comparison. All intelligence and price per task are sam

It's still a dream for many folks to run medium size(30B range) models @ Q8 with Unquantized KVCache (256K Context) on their GPUs. It would be awesome to have DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash's KVCache + Engram fo

It’s always bothered me that after fine-tuning a model for a project, there isn’t a particularly easy way to host it without either running it locally and keeping a GPU on 24/7 or paying for an entire

Lately because of the current hardware shortage, unfortunately or fortunately, we can’t just throw infinite cloud compute at our problems, but we’re forced to actually care about what’s happening unde

I've been keeping journals on and off for more than 10 years. There were stretches when I wrote pretty regularly, then I'd stop for a few months. Usually I'd write down what happened, what I did, mayb

Hi! I run both models on MTPLX on my m5 max, and since I have 128GB of ram I run the q8 27b. I think MTPLX only lets me run 'optimized for speed' which it says is a dynamic q4 with 8 bit attention. Bo

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

We’ve been watching both models closely on InferX, and something interesting is starting to show up. GLM-5.3 Flash might actually be outperforming DeepSeek V4.1 Flash for some real-world workloads. To

I can't stand kv cache quantization. Even at q8_0, I can feel the difference. But realistically, when running Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL on my 32 GB GPU, I only have room for ~170k tokens (with mtp and mm

I wish I could spend $15k on my own homelab hardware, but no this is for work lol. Like the title says, we're looking to run DSV4 Flash (and similar tier models) locally at good speeds, both for token

Long time lurker, but I'm finally upgrading to 128GB VRAM, and I'm trying to figure out what to run. I had been leaning towards Qwen3.8 Flash-Next at ~Q4, and I generally prefer to not run anything be

I'm testing a new approach for reducing the cost of image-based LLM inference. I evaluated it on the MOMA Graph benchmark, using 1,315 questions. Compared with using GPT-4o to process the original ima

I’ve been thinking about this after using more agentic/local coding models. A lot of the newer models are surprisingly good at continuing on their own. But sometimes that seems like the problem. If a

Setup, so the question makes sense: my coding agent's memory now lives in a folder of Markdown — entities, episodes, and procedures (workflows with a per-step success/fail record). Nothing needs an ac

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

One thing that has bothered me about LLM benchmarks for a while is that most of them are essentially snapshots. A model is evaluated, a score is published, and we tend to talk about that score as if i

After Qwen3.8 27B came out, I decided to benchmark the models that could fit in my GPU (RTX 5080) on my actual code (C code), the results were not completely unexpected but some quants were definitely
