DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 appreciation post
I’m running DSV4F 0731 on dual spark, and honestly… wow. It’s an absolute workhorse, and the benchmarks are real. Everyday tasks with Hermes agent? Effortless. Coding…
Anyone else amped up over Qwen 3.8?
I’ve been using 3.6 27B Q4, and that quant is fast on an M5. The code has been average, but consistently “good enough.” And, after a…
Qwen 35B-A3B MoE vs 27B dense in local coding tests: ~4× faster, much smaller quality gap than I expected
I compared Qwen 35B-A3B MoE against Qwen 27B dense on a series of local coding-maintenance tasks. On my R9700/llama.cpp setup, the MoE model generated about 3.9×…
4x2080Ti 22GB tensor parallel possible?
Hi there, I have a setup with 4x 2080Ti 22GB, but am not able to see much benefits in running models larger than 16-20GB in speed.…
PSA for anyone with multiple V620’s or other gfx1030 cards having problems making llama.cpp tensor split work — set "-ub 384" and -b to a multiple of that depending on number of GPUs
Basically what the title says. For me, it would always crash and burn trying to use tensor split. Apparently, there's some bug where GPU memory gets…
