Hello everyone Yesterday I gave a report on Gemini bugs and the techniques I learned on Gemini so far with the Engineering Prompt and interestingly today I got a very interesting and controversial ans

Hey all, I'm serving DSv4Flash 0731 on a cluster of 2x DGX Sparks but am running into constant issues with having almost no RAM (unified memory) left for the OS/cache and I'd love to hear the communit

Over the past few months I have been building a CPU-first inference engine from scratch in pure C99 (no Python, no CUDA, no BLAS, just GCC and make). The focus has been running 1.58-bit ternary models

GPT-5.6 Sol High and X-High (Web Chat) feels severely nerfed since 08/06/2026 update (https://openai.com/index/improving-gpt-5-6-sol-in-chatgpt) I use it for a pretty complex Unreal Engine 5 project (

Everything started with the sudden death of my old ASRock J1900. While looking for the perfect ITX replacement, I stumbled upon the Chinese CW-NAS-ADLN-K motherboard, which looked perfect on paper: In

Hey HN, Henry & Roman here from Cactus. A small, on-device model is fast and private, but sometimes wrong, but frontier models are getting expensive pretty fast. So, we post-trained Gemma 4 E2B post-t

Disclaimer, this was kinda written with AI (Gemma 4 again) but it also did really well here, it outputted what I wanted, when I asked it to refine stuff or improve on certain areas it did that without

Hey everyone ! Quick share from the cyber + local LLM side of things that I found interesting. During this week’s hacker summer camp, an AI researcher and reverse malware engineer veteran 'lordx64' on

I let Gemma4-31b run on my laptop for like almost a day using a heavily altered pi to do a deep dive on our beloved Llama tangentially related Subreddit, and this was the conclusion. Feels pretty accu

Each villager in Pepperton is a different model — a mistral, a qwen3, a qwen2.5, a phi4-mini, a llama3.2 — because model families have genuinely different temperaments, and the friction between them i

I wanted to find out whether a huge text-only MoE could be given basic vision without retraining the language model itself. The short answer is yes. I froze DeepSeek V4 Flash and a 417M-parameter Moon
