I recently started using local LLM for mostly coding tasks for my personal projects. I also have found local models responding much better for topics such as health, fitness, ergonomics etc. compared

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

It's confirmed. OpenAI has been secretly replacing Astra with increasingly shit models since release. My evidence is overwhelming. Three Reddit comments, a benchmark that fluctuated 4%, and a guy who

I've been using ChatGPT Voice for years, particularly during my commute to work. Until recently, I've almost exclusively used Standard Voice Mode, but a recent issue has made it practically unusable.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that this sub and others like it are probably the extreme minority when it comes to this hobby. Most people, I would think, don’t use or can’t afford one good GPU, let al

Hi all! I am a former SWE who has recently transitioned into inference engineering. I launched a side hustle a few months back and I've just taken it full time due to excessive demand. Its been such a

Whenever I feed codebases into local models (Qwen, DeepSeek R1) or API models, the biggest annoyance is prompt pollution: - Lockfiles (`Cargo.lock`, `package-lock.json`) burning 30,000+ tokens for zer

If you build on open-weight reasoning models, you have probably wanted a 'how sure is the model about this answer?' signal that does not cost 5x sampling, a judge model, or a labeled dataset. Hence, w

Based on my experiments and feedback from claude, it seems extremely unlikely and even if I get it working, not practical because of minimum context. But just asking here as a last effort. I'm able to
