    That's what I have been using so far, with a 5090. But I want an additional runner for larger models with larger context sizes.

    It is a smart way to keep KV caches reasonably small at large contexts (1M). According to the friendly neighbourhood LLM: Hybrid attention in Large Language Models (LLMs) is an architectural approach that combines traditional full (softmax)...

    What is Hybrid Attention? Both of these cards mention it.

    Maybe somebody here can explain this to me: I have been told that not all LLMs "fit" the Apple metal backend. From what I know about the metal api (and the requirement to use it instead of programming hardware directly) and how much difficulty...

    The Apple Studio lease program looks more attractive than not. I would add a solid $224 tax per month to my expenses.

    Recently got some Audioengine HD3 speakers and slapped a Topping E30 DAC into it with some silver RCA phonos I have had for years (it was those or some Furukawa FD phono RCA cables that cost like £250 back in 1992). Rather lovely little combo.

    I wanted to give Qwen 3.8 another try. As a reminder, on my standard code review benchmark is it reasoning for 45000 tokens, which at my 55 t/s is just too slow. So I restricted thinking with "--reasoning-budget 4096". But then it doesn't give...

    I just went back from Qwen 3.8 to 3.6 because it is just too thinking-happy and hence too slow.

    I just restarted binging ST:TNG on Paramount+ in the US, english audio. In the episodes I watched (beginning of 3rd season) there are several sharp audio volume changes in the middle of episodes. It is possible that this is limited to the center...

    I have a 14900KS system with DDR4. It's a real road runner.

    Yeah, Qwen 3.8 is overthinking things. It uses 4x as many output tokens for me than 3.6. But as you say, the results are excellent.

    That doesn't work either for the *.pkg, because it wants to "personalize" the update, which it does through the update server, which it can't reach. However, I found what was causing it. I noticed that although I could ping www.google.com I...

    I thought the updates are not directly downloadable anymore since a few versions back? I have waited for a week after stopping the cronjob, I don't think it will reset itself.

    If you use FreeBSD you get a whole bunch of AI tools such as hermes as proper OS packages.

    The censoring is not in the learning. It is post-training. That is why you can remove the censoring (if you have an LLM to ask how :)). You just "rewind" so to speak.

    Same code review: 3.6 uncensored: total time = 154571.82 ms / 12846 tokens 3.8 default: total time = 844671.49 ms / 61232 tokens
