I wanted my agent to do boring web chores: check an order, star a repo, fill in a form. Every time, it hit a login page and stopped dead. My options were to give it my password and cookies, or sit the

Hi! This is a new benchmark that I created together with other researchers at Meta, Stanford, Harvard, UW. Most benchmarks these days seem to test models to just fix a bug that I as a user already enc

I am trying to import two large datasets to enable statistical analysis. After importing the second dataset, Ollama tells me it has no record of that dataset. Intel i9-11900KF Nvidia 3080Ti 12GB Ubunt

I've been on Plus for over a year and have never once agreed to an upgrade to Pro, yet I've now been charged for it twice. This is ridiculous. Plenty of other users have been reporting the exact same

I've been using my free time during weeknights and weekends for the last 11 months working on and refining a small domain-specific language model. It specializes on information about World War II. The

Last month I posted a Qwen3.8-27B LoRA that makes it talk like a person instead of an assistant. It got a lot more attention than I expected: 700+ upvotes, 248 comments and 44k downloads since. I read

Row-Bot 5.0 is a major rebuild of the local-first AI assistant. The NiceGUI interface is gone, replaced by one React app across desktop, browsers, phones and tablets. The biggest change is how work is

Hi folks, I'm a long-time lurker and big fan of this subreddit and a massive self-hosting fan (also outside of AI). I doubt many people will disagree with me here because I see the same arguments bein

The results are in, no thinking / instruct mode for new models degrade performance more than on old models such as 3.6 vs 3.8, where 3.6 takes the lead on several coding benches in instruct mode. I wo

'Tuesday, sorry Thursday' is not the same as 'Tuesday Thursday'. And losing 'don't' is a pretty big edit. What do you put in tests for the cleanup step? I'd start with corrections, names and numbers,

Hello everyone. I've recently ran some experiments comparing DDR4/PCIe4 and DDR5/PCIe5 for AI workstations on a pre-training run, and would like to hear yours thoughts. First of all, and as a summary

I've run the benchmark on a RTX 3090, 1024 tokens in / 256 out, concurrency 1–32. If the model fits on vRAM (Gemma-4-26B-A4B, byte-identical GGUF on both engines): llama.cpp has 2.2–3.2× the throughpu

So everyone has been yelling about how I should be using Gufo instead of halogen because it's open source and it's 'just as good or better'. Checking in on their GitHub (GitHub.com/gufo-org/gufo) got

I built a free tool that lets your coding agent make videos like this one. You give your agent the link to the repo and say what the video should be about. It writes the words, draws the scenes, and y
