We made Unsloth Studio which should help :) 1. Auto best official parameters set for all models 2. Auto determines the largest quant that can fit on your PC / Mac etc 3. Auto determines max context length 4. Auto heals tool calls, provides python & bash + web search :)
Is unsloth working on managing remote servers, like how vscode integrates with a remote server via ssh?

Why would you though? And by the way: Thanks for relentlessly holding new models’ feet to the pelican SVG fire.
Because I want to read about Qwen, not someone's one-off vibe test followed by 1:1 conversations. (case in miniature here: which is the last comment in this thread that says something about Qwen? The root post. Is that fun policing? Yes, apologies.)

I'm all for running large MoE models on unified memory systems, but developers of inference engines should do a better job of figuring out how to run larger-than-total-RAM models on such systems, streaming in sparse weights from SSD but leveraging the large unified memory as cache. This is easily supported with pure-CPU inference via mmap, but there is no obvious equivalent when using the GPU for inference.
I use llama.cpp, and there is a way to do this - some layers to (i)GPU, the rest to CPU. I was just trying this out with Kimi K2.5 (in preparation for trying it out with Kimi K2.6 the other night. Check out the --n-cpu-moe flag in llama.cpp. That said, my Strix Halo rig only has PCIe 4.0 for my NVMe, and I'm using a 990 Evo that had poor sustained random read, being DRAM-less. My effective read speeds from disk were…

question: why not use something like Claude? is it for security reasons?
Some people would rather not hand over all of their ability to think to a single SaaS company that arbitrarily bans people, changes token limits, tweaks harnesses and prompts in ways that cause it to consume too many tokens, or too few to complete the task, etc. I don't use any non-FLOSS dev tools; why would I suddenly pay for a subscription to a single SaaS provider with a proprietary client that acts in opaque and…
But further, seeing with Claude, your workflow, or backend or both, arn't going anywhere if you're building on local models. They don't suddenly become dumb; stop responding, claim censorship, etc. Things are non-determinant enough that exposing yourself to the business decisions of cloud providers is just a risk-reward nightmare.
So yeah, privacy, but also, knowing you don't have to constantly upgrade to another model forced by a provider when whatever you're doing is perfectly suitable, that's untolds amount of value. Imagine the early npm ecosystem, but driven now by AI model FOMO.

Yea, this is currently the confusing part of running local models for newbies: Even after you have decided which model you want to run, and which org's quantizations to use (let's just assume Unsloth's for example), there are often dozens of quantizations offered, and choosing among them is confusing. Say you have a GPU with 20GB of VRAM. You're probably going to be able to run all the 3-bit quantizations with no pro…

compared to your test with GLM 5.1, this indeed looks off https://xcancel.com/simonw/status/2041646779553476801
Yeah GLM 5.1 did an outstanding job on the possum - better than Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.4 and I think better than Gemini 3.1 Pro too. But GLM 5.1 is a 1.51TB model, the Qwen 3.6 I used here was 17GB - that's 1/88 the size.

you should try vulkan instead of rocm. it goes like 20% faster.
