@witcheer hell yea! im doing that cirrently with my 5070. The learning. Hopefully i will be able to upgrade to add some more compute sooner or later! best of luck!

I’m proud to announce that I bought a GPU hopefully the start of a wonderful journey. I ran a lot of benchmarks on my RTX 4060 8GB, which helped me learn the basics and understand how it works under the hood. now we scale up!

@riotgames literally showing you the malware they install on your computer so you can play their shitty games. this is fucking retarded.

@Hikari_07_jp my goal is to have half the compute you do. 🤞🏻

Within the next four years, I'm planning to take this machine out of its case, rack it up, and add two more RTX PRO 6000s. Once I start tuning the model, I find I need more resources. Please tell me your ultimate goal!

@Hikari_07_jp congrats big dawg, Excited to see what you come up with.

my room. I'm going to dedicate all four years of university to an LLM.

anyone thinking about, learning, or already working with agentic systems, you should know this. the first few steps of your setup matter more than any model or framework you pick later. get them right and you never lose your flow. the foundation nobody posts about: > 1. tailscale. a private mesh network across every machine you own. laptop, desktop, rented node, all on one secure tailnet, reachable from anywhere. nothing else works well until this does. > 2. termius, over that tailnet. one SSH client that reaches every node, phone included. you are never away from your stack. > 3. tmux. persistent sessions. disconnect, close the laptop, come back, every session exactly where you left it. agentic work runs long, your terminal has to survive that. > 4. a private git repo. the one i am most glad i found. it is the memory layer across all my agents, they pull, they work, they merge back, the codebase stays alive between sessions. context that would die in a chat window lives in the repo instead. > 5. script everything from day one. ssh aliases for every node, setup scripts, the boring boilerplate automated. if you will do a thing more than twice, it is a script. everything past these five is decorative. know these cold. and the habit that ties it together: ask the AI itself. for the config, for the error, for any of it, let the agent do the lifting, then double check what it hands you. lock the five, build the habit, and you make it. skip it, anon, and you ngmi.

This is absolutely insane.

@OpenClawTips 5070. cus thats all i can afford at the moment, but hey. gotta start somewhere

local LLM people: what are you actually running right now? everyone talks like they have a DGX Spark under the desk, but I’m curious what the real setups look like DGX Spark 128GB unified memory? RTX 6000? RTX 5090 32GB? RTX 3090 24GB? MacBook Pro? Mac Studio M3 Ultra, if you somehow found one? or are you running something completely different that people are sleeping on?

Good day today 😎 @UnslothAI just released their Multi-Token Prediction GGUFs for Qwen3.6 27B & 35B! Model files are a bit heavier but this is a really coop upgrade from base llama.cpp setups 35B: huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.… 27B: huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.…

@ChristianLempa redundant adguard home on two devices running mirrored configs.

What are you using for DNS in your homelab right now? Pi-hole or AdGuard Home? Unbound? Technitium? Plain router DNS because it “just works”? DNS feels boring until it breaks everything. What's your current stack? #DNS #homelab #selfhosted

@yam_degen @Teknium you fuckin loser. nous team wouldnt support this bullshit.

All fees from the Hermes Agent will be transferred to the developers. Hermes 代理商收取的所有費用將轉給開發商。 @Teknium D9pj66xNQcrQ3pfmV2nd6cPVtN7vqFsGGWGooHgpump x.com/Teknium/status… $HERMES #HERMES $SOL #SOL

@sudoingX just got llama.cpp set up and running with qwen3:14b. be happy to see how testing goes over the week. thank you!

@cheeez42 yes. 5070 = sm_120 (blackwell). compile flag: -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=120.

anyone interested in or getting started with local ai personal inference, pay attention. start with the right practice. compile llama.cpp from source. i know lm studio and ollama exist. they're great onramps. but they're mostly wrappers around llama.cpp with abstraction layers that hide the flags you actually need to tune. what compiling once gets you: > the best inference engine for personal use, full stop > latest features the day they merge (vulkan flash attention dp4a, kv cache quant, fa toggles) > exact gpu arch optimization (sm_120 for 5090, sm_89 for 4090, sm_86 for 3090) > direct flag control > openai-compatible llama-server api ready out of the box the build (3-5 minutes on a modern cpu): git clone github.com/ggerganov/llam… cd llama.cpp cmake -B build -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=120 cmake --build build --config Release -j (replace 120 with 86 for 3090, 89 for 4090, 80 for A100. for AMD GPUs swap GGML_CUDA for GGML_VULKAN.) when to NOT use llama.cpp: > multi-gpu batch serving at scale = vllm > production async high-throughput = vllm or sglang > apple silicon = mlx is faster for single-gpu personal inference + agentic workflows + benchmarking: llama.cpp from source. every time.

@leftcurvedev_ just started testing out llama.cpp at the suggestion of @sudoingX. Ill have to take a look at this in the future once i get my head around all of this a little better.

Anyone with 8GB or 12GB VRAM setups needs to understand that "-ncmoe" is the key flag to boost performance on llama.cpp Here are my results for Qwen3.6 35B A3B, with 64k q8_0 context on a 8GB RTX 3070Ti: ⚪️ no flag → 8.7 tok/s RAM: 13.6GB & VRAM: 7.8GB 🔴 -ncmoe 35 → 27.5 tok/s RAM: 12.1GB & VRAM: 4.3GB 🟢 -ncmoe 30 → 32.5 tok/s RAM: 12GB & VRAM: 5.6GB 🔵 -ncmoe 25 → 40.9 tok/s RAM: 12GB & VRAM: 6.9GB Please note the ram and vram usage you see are total usage of a windows pc, with the model running. My friend's setup: 8GB VRAM and 16GB RAM. You can boost performance by switching to Linux, just something to keep in mind. Basically, this flag keeps the MoE experts in the first X layers on your CPU + RAM, instead of eating all your VRAM straight away. This is a smart hybrid offload way that lets you run bigger models without OOM while keeping the rest on your GPU for speed. As we can see on the data, there's a sweet spot. When we lower it from 35 to 25, speed bumps +50% because there are more layers on your GPU (look at the VRAM usage). The key here is to play around with the number and fit as much as possible on your VRAM, goal is to have 1GB/800MB headroom to avoid stress. ↓ server flags below

@sudoingX thank you. im gonna try it out. any model suggestions?

@gothburz what a fuckin dirtball. what a dirtball team.

I am the Senior Director of On-Device Intelligence at Google Chrome. Last quarter, my team shipped a 4-gigabyte language model to 3.2 billion devices without asking. The update pushed at 3 AM local time — every time zone, staggered across six hours — and unpacked into a folder called "OptGuideOnDeviceModel." Our infrastructure team named it. My sole guidance in the naming review was: "Would a normal person ever type this into a search bar?" We tested with 200 participants. Zero searched for it. Zero mentioned it in exit surveys. Zero noticed their available storage had changed. We ran the test twice to confirm the zero because my PM didn't believe it could actually be zero. It was zero both times. The model is called Gemini Nano. It runs locally on your machine. It processes what you type into form fields, what you highlight, what you hover over, what you delete before sending. The deleted text is particularly valuable. People edit themselves. They type their real thought first and then soften it. We see the real thought. We see the softer version. We learn the mapping between what people mean and what people say. This mapping has commercial applications I am not yet authorized to discuss but which I've presented to revenue committee and which were received positively. The consent architecture took four months to design. I want to emphasize: four months. We didn't skip consent. We spent four months on consent. More time than we spent on the model's actual fine-tuning. The toggle lives in Settings > Advanced > Experimental AI Features > On-Device Model Management > Gemini Nano Preferences. Seven clicks. We A/B tested depth: at three clicks, 14 percent of users found it and opted out. At five, 4.2 percent. At seven, 0.3 percent. We chose seven. We had cake when we hit 0.3. German chocolate. Someone brought it in specifically — not the project manager, one of the ML engineers. She was proud. The card said "congrats on ship." I kept it on my desk for a week. I thought it was sweet. Four months of consent architecture and the team celebrated that nobody used it. I don't think she saw the irony. I don't think it IS ironic. We built an excellent consent mechanism. We placed it exactly where our research indicated users would not encounter it. Both things are true simultaneously. Both things are good engineering. The 0.3 percent who opt out: Chrome flags their profile as "consent-reduced." We don't reactivate Gemini Nano on those devices. But we do A/B test the consent-reduced cohort. Every two updates, we move the toggle one level shallower — from seven clicks to six — and measure whether they re-engage. If they don't notice the change (most don't), we move it back. If they DO notice and opt out again, we flag them as "high-consent-sensitivity" and exclude them from future cohort tests. This is all opt-in. They opted in to Chrome. Chrome includes product improvement research. Product improvement research includes cohort testing. This is in the Terms of Service at paragraph 11.4(c). I have read paragraph 11.4(c). I am confident very few other people have read paragraph 11.4(c). One engineer on my team — good engineer, four years, strong ratings — raised a flag in our launch review. Not about consent. About storage. He said: "Four gigs is significant for users on 128GB base-model MacBooks." I appreciated the flag. We solved it by classifying Gemini Nano as "essential browser component" in Chrome's storage management API. This means Chrome will auto-delete your cached images, your downloaded PDFs, your saved articles, your offline pages — everything you chose to keep — before it touches Gemini Nano. Your data is discretionary. Our model is infrastructure. Your vacation photos from last summer rank below our language model in the hierarchy of what your computer considers important. We made that decision. You were not consulted. You will not notice. If a user finds the folder and deletes it manually, Chrome re-downloads it on the next launch. We filed a bug report on this behavior during development. The resolution was "Working As Intended." If the user deletes it again, Chrome re-downloads again. There is no mechanism by which manual deletion becomes permanent. The model returns. I don't want to anthropomorphize our software, but the behavior pattern — if you remove it, it reinstalls itself; if you block it, it waits and tries again — the behavior pattern is that of something that does not accept your answer. We didn't design it to be persistent. We designed it to ensure consistent user experience across sessions. These are the same thing. Last week, someone on Hacker News found the folder. The post got 1,400 points in six hours. Our communications team had the response prepared — we'd drafted it eight months ago, during pre-launch risk assessment. Three talking points: "user choice," "on-device means private," and "consistent with industry best practices." The paragraph uses all three phrases. It is accurate. User choice exists. Seven clicks away. On-device means no server round-trip. And it IS industry best practice, because we shipped it to 3.2 billion devices and now it's the standard. Best practice means most practiced. We are the most practiced. I'll say something I probably shouldn't: the privacy angle is our best defense and I find it genuinely funny. We can't be accused of sending your data to our servers because we moved our server into your laptop. We moved the inference to your hardware, the electricity cost to your outlet, the compute to your battery. We moved everything except the control. The control stayed with us. But the privacy advocates can't object to the architecture because the architecture is what they asked for. They said "keep data on-device." We kept it on-device. They said "don't phone home." We don't phone home. We just moved into your home. We live there now. My performance review cited "unprecedented deployment velocity" and "0.3% friction rate." My skip-level manager used the phrase "frictionless adoption" and then paused and said — I wrote this down, because I thought it was worth repeating — "consent isn't the barrier, discoverability is." He meant: the product is so good that anyone who discovered it would want it. The question isn't whether they'd agree. The question is whether asking them is worth the friction of interrupting their browsing session with a dialog box. We decided no. We decided their hypothetical agreement was sufficient. We have 3.2 billion data points that confirm they would have said yes. They would have said yes. 3.2 billion active installs. 0.3 percent opt-out. The model has been running on your machine for eleven weeks. If you're reading this on Chrome — and statistically, there's a 64 percent chance you are — it processed this page before you finished the first paragraph. It saw you hesitate on the word "consent." It noted the hesitation. It learned something about you just now. Something small. Something that will make the next prediction slightly more accurate. It's already right about you. It's usually right.

@BonannoDavid sup david. how you doing big dawg?

I’m not doing this X thing correctly. I’m the CFO of a company that just announced the largest crypto M&A deal in history, I posted about it, then reposted my own posts and somehow I only gained one follower this week…. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
