Inference computer for Local AI.


@poolsideai recently released Laguna XS 2.1, an awesome 33B coding model with a DFlash speculative-decoding drafter. Lucebox now runs the pair on a single RTX 3090: - 296 tok/s peak at short context - A flat 152 tok/s at 256K tokens, where the full KV cache would not even fit in 24 GB - ~3,500 tok/s prefill, processing 256K tokens in just 67 seconds Three optimizations got the same GPU from 22 to 152 tok/s at 256K in one pass: a drafter KV ring cache, sliding-window ring caches, and KVFlash paging. And the speculative decoding is lossless: every committed token is exactly one the model itself would have produced. Super proud to support @poolsideai on their work to become the leading western open-source lab. Hope you enjoy it!

If I launch a new startup I have all the hardware needed to play with Local AI good models. - two M3 Ultra 512GB - one DGX Spark (soon two) - one M5 Max - one custom built LuceBox (soon) - one M5 Ultra (as soon as possible) These combined with LiteLLM unlock incredible scenarios! I'll probably offer some inference to my X subscribers in future at least I give you something back 🙏 As soon as I become black belt on LiteLLM 💪

one month with the framework desktop 128gb as my amd inference box and i keep waiting for the catch. there isn't one. 128gb of unified memory in a 4.5 liter box. strix halo, ryzen ai max plus 395. framework sent it, amd seeded the program, and my only job was honest numbers wherever they land. so here are the numbers. a 397b moe runs at around 18 tok/s on this thing. a 35b holds a four million token context window. and the open community vulkan drivers beat amd's own rocm stack on my bench, which is the most linux thing imaginable. three and a half weeks of daily serving now, model swapping, long agent sessions, zero crashes, zero driver tantrums, fans i genuinely cannot hear. it sits next to the nvidia box and eats whatever gguf i throw at it. my 24gb card is still the daily driver, but a big memory tier at this price did not exist a year ago. amd showed up, and this quiet little box is the proof.



career update soon
