I grind my teeth when I see it. It's so pervasive that I worry I'll pick up the same ticks by reading so much Claudeslop.
you're absolutely right

Let my karma burn for saying this: Maybe it is time to let this go man. These comments are really the new incarnation of "grammar policing". (1) They don't add anything of value, did the author use an LLM to fix his prose but no useless slop was added in the process: who cares ? Is the article useless slop: fine, downvote it to oblivion. (1) For those not old enough to remember that wonderful practice please use your…
I'm not making any moral judgements based on it, merely observing it.

#124Is there a pipeline or approach to do this to any model? I'm particularly interested in Qwen 3.6 27B as it's the best for its size at the moment.
This approach will only work for MoE models. There is a Qwen 35b-a3b.
You just need to do GPU stop after router and read the requested experts to ram.
And it is possible to build similar engine for this model (or feel free to adopt my engine)
Not sure about generic approach for now, but coding with ai agents is relatively cheap now, you can try it

The criticism is not that it's moralizing, but that it's boring.

The writing is made worse by a specific choice which the commentator identified. That’s actionable feedback.

#127Nice, I think this is the second time I see this here on HN, I always wondered why we need to shove the entire model into memory, I don't care who King Charles is every single time. It always felt as though we already figured out how to break up large files and parse them efficiently with very little memory. Frontier AI feels like its full of people who are brilliant at making models, but when it comes to scale and p…
You're right, but the "just" in "just finetune" is doing _a lot_ of work here.
It's still early days and we "just" don't really know how to do it well.

#128What's the best option if I have sufficient RAM to store the 14GB model?

seems like a great little chrome extension or tool we could use to just quickly validate stuff like that.

The A in 26B-A4B is the active weights.
The problem is that this is a per-token load/unload at best, not for the whole prompt.
The division happened until one of these can fit in a single GPU and they stopped scaling it down any more, because you can wire up 8 of them to do their share of the work.
