I wanted to compare gemma 4 31b qat q4 and qwen3.8 27b iq4_nl, so I run SWEBench verfied on them. The original gemma 4 chat template doesn't work with preserve reasoning, so google released an update

For what it's worth. I'm a mechanical engineer by education and software engineer in practice over the past ~20 years. Playing around with local models has been a recent hobby. Today I decided to do a

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

Basalt: Blackwell inference engine Hi all! So over the last week I've been working on a Strata fork that's heavily tuned and can achieve throughput up to 2.6x what Strata usually does on the same weig

I stumbled across this as I was currently having glm5.3 flash run only around 10tok/s basically unusable. With Maya i am running 30 tok/s now. GLM5.3 feels even with this low quant like a much more en

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 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,

Yesterday TechCrunch published a piece about a growing problem for AI agents: websites are starting to block them. Amazon blocking Meta's Muse is the obvious example. At almost exactly the same time,

We test three state-of-the-art multi-modal large language models (GPT-4o, Gemini-1.5-Pro, Gemini-1.5-Flash) and find that they fail dramatically when generalization requires that the rules of the game

Ive been using OpenWebUI's inbuilt web search and I can't put my finger on it, but it's not quite as polished, reliable, seamless as using Claude or Gemini. And its often slow beyond a limit that make

Around 3 weeks ago, I posted on this subreddit about how Jev used my one-year-old architecture, og post: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/VpuMJt577S Then, just after that, I introduced Laya, the

This will be my third update on the bc-250 cluster and for my first forray into local ai I have been having a blast. This has turned from a weekend experiment into something I think I will use in the

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

I mean , DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax -- the list of Chinese LLM's is such a long freaking list. As American's -- why don't we feel .. a little funny .. about being so far behind? Chinese entrepreneur

It seems Dario's 'too powerful for you users' strategy is paying off: we have two open models at the top of the leaderboard, surpassing every single model from Anthropic. Open source prevails. Even Mi

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

I love Dash2Dock Lite, but Icedman is always a week or two before updates. I randomly ran pacman for the first time in weeks, not realizing GNOME had a major update. I told it to fix it in DeepSeek Ha

I have an app that processes ~500 different documents every day. An agent analyzes them, sorts them, tags them, extracts various legal nuances, creates descriptions, etc. So far I've been using Qwen 3

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
