I wanted to track grocery spending per item without sending my receipts to anyone, so I built an Android app around a small vision model that reads a photo of a receipt into JSON: store, date, total,

I've been tuning llama.cpp on my Strix Halo box (Radeon 8060S, 128 GB) and the numbers are good enough to share. It's a branch called rdna35-perf on top of halo-box/strix-llama.cpp, a llama.cpp fork a

It's been 4 years since c.ai first hallucination model, and yet, we're nowhere good enough at LLMs in terms of spontaneity/interesting hallucination features. Fortunately, last year brought new archit

My Jetson Orin–optimized engine, little-gemma V1.0, substantially outperforms llama.cpp. Even after exhausting every practical GGUF option, however, it still falls short of the ideal performance level

I run local LLMs pretty much around the clock, but I also enjoy gaming on the same PC. Having models sitting in VRAM while gaming isn't exactly ideal, and constantly unloading and reloading them manua

I was running Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (base and later Swift-1.5 NVFP4) on a paid pod seat for about a month, and it started answering with short strings that echoed its own earlier reasoning. I assumed the

There is a lot of discussion which quant to use. Especially a lot of post how much speed you gain with FP4, but not much about quality. So i tested some of the models that I use on my R9700. Models: Q

No more excuses for GPU-poor folks not to start LLMing! Full 27B-class reasoning in ternary transformer weights, for llama.cpp (CUDA, Metal, CPU) ~9.3x smaller than FP16 (ideal) | 98.2% of FP16 intell

I'm genuinely shocked! I was able to run Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-oQ4e-mtp on M3Max 64GB with oMLX! Even a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't able to get it to run. I just tried the latest commit for fun, and it
