24+ tok/s from ~30B MoE models on an old GTX 1080 (8 GB VRAM, 128k context)

I got Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B and Gemma 4 26B-A4B running on a $200 secondhand machine (i7-6700 / GTX 1080 / 32 GB RAM) using llama.cpp (the TurboQuant/RotorQuant KV cache quantisation allows 128k context within the 8 GB VRAM). Results (Q4_K_M models, 128k context): Model tok/s Key…

Web-Search is coming to a screeching performance halt as Google shuts down their free search index, and traffic defenders like Cloudflare challenge AI at every gateway. What are our options?

Google is closing its free tier to just 50 domains for site-specific search, and an inheritance date of January 1st, 2027, with no public pricing being listed for advanced searches. Cloudflare's new site-default is to challenge all AI bots attempting to scrape web-information…

MI50s Qwen 3.6 27B @52.8 tps TG @1569 tps PP (no MTP, no Quant)

TL;DR Results from the title are for single inference with 2 prompt of 1k and 15k tokens. So no MTP (as it’s slower for big prompt), no DFlash (working too but slower for big prompt), no quant used (full precision wanted) and the results are pretty good for a 2018 card. (Bench…

I made a UI and server for using Anthropic's new Natural Language Autoencoders locally with llama.cpp

Anthropic's first open weight models, Natural Language Autoencoders , are just finetunes of popular open weight models. They do not modify architecture and modeling code so inference with llama.cpp is mostly trivial. I packaged every feature of NLAs (namely activation…

Who is your favourite quant publisher and why?

Hey everyone, I’ve been a big fan of Unsloth for several reasons: They publish models ASAP after release. They usually offer the lowest PPL. Their website has tons of helpful tutorials and documentation. Recently, I stumbled upon this Reddit thread suggesting to try out an Apex…

The Trillion-Parameter Dilemma: MiMo-V2.5-Pro went open-source (1.02T params). Is self-hosting worth it when the API costs $70 for 387M tokens?

Xiaomi open-sourced MiMo-V2.5-Pro. 1.02 trillion parameters, 42B active (MoE), 1M context, MIT license. On paper, this is exciting. In practice, I'm stuck on the math. What I've been doing with it I've been running V2.5-Pro via the API through Claude Code for autonomous coding…

Does THINKING MODE significantly improve translation?

High VRAM local coding model — still Qwen 3.6 27B?

I’ve been using Qwen 3.6 27B and it’s amazing. Not exactly your Opus replacement, but great for small tasks and checking work. But if you had 224GB of VRAM, would it still be your choice? Or is there something you consider better in the 100+B range (GPT-OSS, Deepseek, etc)…

Is using vLLM actually worth it if you aren't serving the model to other people?

So, as most of us here are, I'm a llama.cpp loyalist. Easy to understand, great configuration, relatively stable, etc. But I’ve been increasingly tempted by vLLM, especially since AMD just added it as a built-in inference engine to Lemonade, and I happen to have an AMD GPU. The…
