[Paper] FactorEngram: Factorized N-gram Memory with Basis-Level Gating for Language Models

Lookup-based memory has been a promising way to scale the parameters of large language models (LLMs). It retrieves learned representations of local token patterns, such as n-grams, instead of reconstructing them through successive layers of computation. However, existing designs…

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on Strata

Hey! 👋 I have released an official support for Strix Halo machines on Strata for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next. Currently numbers are the best on long context decode and ppts using typical Unsloth’s Q4 and GSQ-RCO model weights. Can go up to 1M context length without big speed loss.…

[Paper] WaveFront Decoding: Parallelized Self-Speculative Decoding for Looped Language Models

Looped language models repeatedly apply a weight-shared block to increase effective depth without increasing parameter count, but the resulting T sequential recurrent-block calls per generated token substantially increase decoding latency. To address the issue, we introduce…

Qwen 4 apparently coming out at the end of October

Hey All, I spoke to a 0-day partner of Alibaba today and he casually mentioned (didnt know if he was allowed to) that Qwen 4 is apparently planned for the end of October. To me, this is way faster than expected as there was quite a gap between 3.6 and 3.8. I tried to get more…

What happens when a LLM watches its own context window run out?

I made Terminal Soliloquy , a terminal artwork that connects to llama.cpp and displays a model's monologue as its context window fills. It has a retro phosphor look, and runs in a terminal window. I'm actually running it full-screen on a Raspberry Pi display inside an old 1960s…

Story time: Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on my Strix Halo laptop vs Claude Opus 5.5 on the same feature
