Don't know if I should spend less time coding and more on farming engagement, but either way here's a neat cat simulation. It's not entirely accurate (still needs to model viscosity and surface tension), but it was more of a stress test anyway, made by a new 1.66 bpw quant of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next running on one RTX 5090; no experts offloaded to the CPU, only vision tower in pinned memory (negligible overhead), and embeddings on disk. Stable inference throughout, no reasoning loops, just smooth sailing at 200-300 t/s (and a lot of compacting since one 32 GB GPU still doesn't leave a lot of room for context, even with cache quantization).

Is anyone else confused why everyone's all hyped about using "decision models" to solve deterministic problems, instead of leveraging AR models' ability to implement classical algorithms? I challenge any Jev or Jev-like harness to compete with A* in 80 lines of JavaScript. I get the selling point of "you don't need to write any task-specific code, the decision model just figures it out." But in this case the cost was all up-front: four minutes with Astra-medium, and a one-line prompt. What am I missing?

I doubt I'm the first to notice this, but MiMo-V2.6-Pro seems to have a lot of redundant weights. If you remove the expert blocks from layers 1 through 12 and the attention blocks from layers 1-4, 6 and 8-11, end-to-end KLD is largely unaffected. Their contribution to the residual is on the order of BF16 rounding errors. Overall, it looks like you can trim away 17% of the model's ~1T parameters and still end up with largely the same model. That's six whole Qwens. Is this known, or can anyone confirm?

I'm having a great time with GPT5.6 so far. I'm still not sure what it's for, but I feel very safe.

keepandroidopen.org/cta/ The *only* reason I have been using Android for the last 8 years is the fact that I have control of my device, I can hack on it and write software for it and sideload it without begging anyone for the privilege. As soon as Google's "Close Android" initiative goes into effect, I will buy an iPhone and I won't develop on Android again. @Google - Don't do this. Turn around. Cancel. Change your mind. Realize that you just made a stupid mistake after one too many beers, and you didn't actually mean it. And you are sorry for the confusion and chaos. Then this will just be a bad memory that fades away - instead of the permanent destruction you are about to inflict to your own platform, and millions of customers. And the major boon you are about to hand to Apple.

1/n I topped the HuggingFace Open LLM Leaderboard without changing a single weight. No training. No merging. No gradient descent. I duplicated 7 middle layers of Qwen2-72B and stitched it back together. This is the story of LLM Neuroanatomy 🧵

We just added Tensor Parallelism to TabbyAPI! Huge thanks to @turboderp_ and testers who made this possible. Now, enjoy the clip diving into the origins of Exllama. Wanna see TabbyAPI built live? Follow me on twitch: kingbri1st

TabbyAPI now supports ExllamaV3 with automatic backend detection! 🎉 Please note that exl3 is being actively worked on and mileage may vary compared to exl2 Thanks to @turboderp_ and all contributors for making this a reality.

I have decided to tweet today. So here is a visualization of how the paged cache works with continuous batching in ExLlamaV3. I think it's neat. #🐈

Seems to still be true that larger models are less sensitive to quantization. Here is Mistral-Large 123B at 1.4 bits per weight, running on one 24 GB GPU. #AI or something
