    llama.cpp moves too quickly to be added as a stable package. Instead, you can get it directly from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=llama.cpp There are packages for Vu…

    I have been so far happy with the value that Copilot brought but for the past few weeks I have felt the chokehold on the number of requests. I have had the chance to test the main …

    I am definitely looking forward to TurboQuant. Makes me feel like my current setup is an investment that could pay over time. Imagine being able to run models like MiniMax M2.5 loc…

    Not the answer that you are looking for, but I am a fellow AMD GPU owner, so I want to share my experience. I have a 9070 XT, which has 16GB of VRAM. My understanding from reading …

    I don't understand why I'm getting downvoted. I am legitimately curious about the parameters that the person used for running the model locally to get the results they got because …

    At what temperature did you run it and what was your context limit?

    Apparently there is a whole science behind running models. I have seen the instructions that unsloth publishes for their quants and depending on the model they'll tweak things like…

    What front-end framework did you use? I find the UI so visually appealing

    Which quantization are you running and what context size? 32tok/s for that model on that card sounds pretty good to me!

    Great idea of inferbench (similar to geekbench, etc.) but as of the time of writing, it's got only 83 submissions, which is underwhelming.
