Flash-MoE is a C/Metal inference engine that runs Qwen3.5-397B-A17B on a MacBook Pro M3 Max at 4.36 tokens/s. With expert streaming from SSD and hand-written Metal shaders, it fits the 209GB model into a 48GB memory budget.
H Company's Holotron-12B uses a memory-efficient new design to lift PC-operation AI throughput to 8,900 tokens per second. Unsloth has released the beta of 'Studio,' a browser tool for no-code model fine-tuning.
Hands-on test of huihui-ai Qwen 3.5 abliterated models in Ollama: garbage-token failures, GLM-4.7-Flash chat-template breakage, and why the official model with thinking disabled worked better.
From Docker hell to Lite + LLM correction. A retrospective on my own experimentation, plus an introduction to someone else's browser-based NDLOCR-Lite implementation.
Set up the CLI version of NDLOCR-Lite on Apple Silicon Mac, then tested OCR result correction with Qwen 3.5 and Swallow. Includes experiments with direct image reading and the anchoring effect.
Building an NSFW-capable local LLM on the GMKtec EVO-X2 (Strix Halo). Getting GPU inference at ~11 tokens/s with LM Studio and MS3.2-24B-Magnum-Diamond.
