This doesn't look accurate to me. I have an RX9070 and I've been messing around with Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B. According to this site I can't even run it, yet I'm getting 32tok/s ^.-

It seems to be missing a whole load of the quantized Qwen models, Qwen3.5:122b works fine in the 96GB GH200 (a machine that is also missing here....)

Does it make any sense? I tried few models at 128GB and it's all pretty much rubbish. Yes they do give coherent answers, sometimes they are even correct, but most of the time it is just plain wrong. I find it massive waste of time.

I'm not sure how long ago you tried it, but look at Qwen 3.5 32b on a fast machine. Usually best to shut off thinking if you're not doing tool use.

This is great, I've been trying to figure this stuff out recently. One thing I do wonder is what sort of solutions there are for running your own model, but using it from a different machine. I don't necessarily want to run the model on the machine I'm also working from.

ssh?

i think the perplexity is more important than tokens per second. tokens per second is relatively useless in my opinion. there is nothing worse than getting bad results returned to you very quickly and confidently. ive been working with quite a few open weight models for the last year and especially for things like images, models from 6 months would return garbage data quickly, but these days qwen 3.5 is incredible, e…

No, getting bad results slowly is much worse. Bad results quickly and you can make adjustments.

But yes, if there is a choice I want quality over speed. At same quality, I definitely want speed.

Raspberry pi? Say 4B with 4GB of ram. I also want to run vision like Yocto and basic LLM with TTS/STT

I've been trying to get speech to text to work with a reasonable vocabulary on pis for a while. It's tough. All the modern models just need more GPU than is available

Whispr?

For wakewords I have used pico rhino voice

I want to use these I2S breakout mics
