Now I also confirmed that 2080ti unlock is successful with similar approach as the 30-series' method
it reach nearly same speed as 350w 3090(locked) with only 250w in mmapeak and mamf-finder

Confirmed that 3090 unlock is successful
with 360watt power wall, I got 75T -> 135T (measured in Pytorch)

My now-traditional(?) BazelCon 2026 recap is here! jmmv.dev/2026/10/bazelcon-20โฆ . I'll warn you: it's _long_ and it talks about AI but... fear not, it's not AI-generated. Enjoy!
Give this project more visibility tweeps! Possibly the best personal assistant around, not overly complex, simple to install and run, works on anything, RT @afjcjsbx !
Do you want a personal AI assistant to integrate on WeChat, Feishu, Telegram? you can take a look at PicoClaw
A super lightweight open source agent with long-term memory, planned tasks, MCP tools, plugins and web interface
Installable with a single command, just enter the API key of the model and use it

Writing articles in Markdown comes with friction. One thing that has always irritated me is inserting cross-links to other articles. I don't know elisp and would have never automated this... but AI does so... why not ask it? 5 minutes, and done. "SPC #" for my own blog helpers!
i don't get the moe obsession, every model release this week is moe
the last good dense model that fits on a decent gpu was qwen 3.8 27b in august, before that gemma 4 31b in april. that 20 to 30b dense class is where small gpus live, and it's gone quiet
and on small gpus dense is the one that pays off, give us dense models that run well on small gpus.
Maybe try QFN for real? It literally destroys 27B on every task. It runs on a 8GB GPU w/ 64GB DDR{3,4,5}
Qwen Flash Next UD-IQ4_XS is good, but note the level of detail UD-Q4_K_XL brings in this small X-Wing simulator, created in 10 minutes with Strata
* xs imil.net/stuff/xwing.html
* k_xl imil.net/stuff/xwing-q4_k_xlโฆ
A principle thatโs hard for me to not apply, for better or worse:
Faced with a problem, donโt just work to solve it. Instead, figure out what would have made it so easy that someone would have already solved it by now. Make it so. Then be the lucky someone.
I've been very quiet around here for unclear reasons, but with BazelCon 2026 behind our backs... I need to write a couple of articles so let's pick this up again!

Hey, thanks so much! Really happy to hear that people appreciate PicoClaw being carried forward. Can't wait to see your PRs on the fork whenever you're ready! ๐
Hey @afjcjsbx ! Thanks for taking over picoclaw <3 I've seen your messages, just hadn't the time to re-open the PR on your fork but I'll certainly will, and possibly another one about conversations mixing with previous ones.

I have redated part of the dashboard numbers because it is all new and I don't want to spoil anything until that is ready. I left the experts location open though, in case anyone thinks that is not the model I claim :)
I enjoyed working on it, so I plan to carry on with optimisations and eventually release it all, stay tuned!

Strata is great! Iโm particularly interested in improving multi-GPU performance.
I found that the helper cache stays static while the main GPU adapts, allowing duplicate experts and more CPU fallback. A small optimization delivered +62.5% mixed-task and +129.2% code decode speed on dual RTX 4090s.
Hope this can make it upstream! @coldniko

- AMD performance increased by 12%
