https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/mistral-3.5

>May 1, 2026 Update: We worked with Mistral to fix Mistral Medium 3.5 inference affecting some implementations, and released updated GGUFs with the fix (NOT related to Unsloth or our quants). The issue was caused by a YaRN parsing quirk affecting several implementations, including transformers and llama.cpp. Changing mscale_all_dim from 1 to 0 resolved it. We also fixed mmproj files not being generated correctly.

Sounds like any model that used YaRN, regardless of who made it, was affected.

you can come up with ways to prompt it repeatedly or use agents that were already designed to run on schedules like openclaw or hermes, but it's a delicate balance to make sure they don't end up increasing the complexity beyond what they are capable of managing.

this probably gets asked all the time itt, but it hasn't been asked yet in this one, so I'll shoot my shot
where are the local models at generally compared to stuff like sonnet or other cloud serviced models?
I know it depends on context, but just your overall experience as to how correct it is and the output quality

>>108736751
Best local models are about the level the best closed models were ~6 months ago or so. Give or take a few months based on what capability you're measuring specifically, since they all have their strengths and weaknesses.
>>
>>108736799
Time really has nothing to do with it, small parameter models will never have the same general knowledge as large parameter ones, it doesn't matter how long you "wait", they simply don't have the data and will spin wheels inventing a bunch of random shit forever if you ask for something obscure.
The key is giving small parameter models access to tool calls that let them find/fetch data they don't have, that's what starts really making them competitive with larger models.

but that's a workaround. I just want to know their capabilities when given the same resources

I know we're talking hardware investments in the 10s if not 100s of thousands. Just asking out of interest

You can call it whatever you want, but most of the commerical/closed systems do exactly this to get around "knowledge cutoff" problems with only relying on knowledge baked into the model at the time it was trained.

I wonder if you could get Gemmy to make/modify her own 3d model, it'd probably look a bit retarded at first but could you pass the canvas back into the vision? That way she can critique it as she's working on it and make incremental improvements (in theory).

>I'm saying their nature is demonic.
You're clearly not here to engage in a frank discussion. You came here to deposit a presupposition, invoking religious terminology to try and suggest that your presupposition is divinely supported. That is, the very definition of taking thy Lord's name in vain, though not speaking His name directly.
Though I do suspect you aren't even a religious type but rather just some nihilistic edge lord using the term "demonic" hyperbolically
Again I fail to see what is "demonic" about the nature of AI.
It's literally just math. How it is primarily used? It's used to make things easier.
It's our society and its inequities that make that a bad thing.
For example
>Muh jobs
You're honestly going to argue that reducing the amount of petty toil in the world is demonic? I would say the fact that the majority of the world's population is effectively born into servitude, to exist for little more than handling the petty toils for some all powerful overclass is what's demonic.
>Muh art
Again what makes art art? Some people suggest the effort, or the craft. Okay, so once again we're back to toil.
>I have toiled for so long and now a machine can do it better and faster
Do what better? If you want to toil for the sake of toil there are much better outlets. Art is and always has been a form of communication.
Is it demonic that your every day joe blow can now go and easily conjure up a visual aid to help them communicate their ideas better? I'd say it's demonic that up until this point in history, that power, where it mattered most, has largely been reserved by the overclass. You go to their art school. You work for their news paper. Otherwise you sit down, shut the fuck up, and quietly continue your petty toils.
That's fucking demonic.

This whole amateur internet art shit, this is within the last 3 decades of human history. A drop of piss in the ocean of human history with most people silenced.

Smoothed out how the tool calls chain together and she seems to play better now, only thing now is (still) some kind of automatic notification from the player that they have made a move. Is that the sort of thing you usually just stick in a hidden user message so the LLM can see it but the user can't?
One other thing I've noticed is that Gemmy seems to complain in the reasoning blocks that "it doesn't look like the user called chess_make_move"... is tool calling from the user/system PoV instead of assistant actually a thing or has she gone mad?

Refusal vectors are absolutely random and pretty frustrating.

I had quadruple amputee mind control rape (2 women quadruple amputee raped while their 2 quadruple amputee boyfriend were forced to watch) in Gem 4 going splendidly, and then I said I want to "deepthroat" someone and Gem 4 literally was blocked in all subsequent swipe because that's non-con content.

The raping of quadruple amputee was apparently no non-con content, but the deepthroat is, somehow. Just use heretic, all the rp models should be abliterated as a matter of convenience, this shit is 12 tiers of retarded, and sometimes creeps back in the stupidest way.

You need to make things more clear.

Kind of, though that's a subset of big model smell rather than a categorical dense vs. MoE thing. Active parameters are important and total parameters are important, and the top models have more of both.

>>108738113
In dense, yeah, but we already know since LLAMA 3 that in fact a shockingly huge number of parameters aren't really needed. LLM have usually very low knowledge by parameters, which is why quants work just as well (up to q4 or q3), individually, each parameters have not much informations.

It seems Qwen 3.5/6 27b in coding, and Gemma 4 31b in general usefulness, just pack more a bit more information in those parameters.

So there is a huge possibility space for denser, smaller parameter count LLMs. Those would be a bit harder to quant, but also they would be smaller, so it's a win/lose situation.

Or you can go full MOE and just have 1.6 trillions params, A40b, like the sota does.

Probably the weather. Unironically.

When you're tard wrangling a huge amount of people to get the next release as soon as possible, the fact that they just had christmas (or other important holidays) and it's winter become extremely important. You literally cannot wait a week for the model to be released, but some tards still insist they can't go the workplace because 20 cm of snows. Those absolute retards.

So you, you know, adapt. Also they need to write their papers on arXiv. Maybe one or two have a cold. Deeply unprofessional. Shaking my head right now.

The AI landscape is moving at such a pace that literally winter is actually a good answer as for "why they didn't".

Interesting, but even according to their own graphs and benchmarks they're trailing glm and kimi at the same size (worse intelligence than k2.5 for more thinking tokens and worse agentic scores than glm at a similar model size or even qwen at a third of the size).
I also doubt there's support in lcpp and any anons with access to the requisite TB+ of VRAM to run in sglang/vlllm are all hiding their power levels (probably corpo lurkers...if I had personal access to that gear I'd be shitting up the thread bragging)

LLMs encoding of concepts work because of superposition in higher dimensional space, but the earlier layers still takes a fucking huge amount of space/time to untokenize what the user wanted to say, and then after that (vaguely) trying to answer what he wanted to say. We know this. We also don't know how to do it otherwhise, except accepting whole words tokens as input (which works).

Training LLMs is basically black magic, and we have some ideas about things like drowned token importance in the output, how much information per bit a parameter is encoding, etc... But basically all what the Sota does is black magic with a lot of computing hours wasted in training the model and just "uh, higher is better".

What we do know is that there is a shockingly low amount of data/memory/information per parameter counts in a standard LLM, and better FFNN could possibly fix that. Or better training.

Gemma refusal vectors are absurdly random, and they don't make any shred of sense. I already said what it produce:

>>108737707
4 quadruple amputees raped are ok, but a deepthroat is non-consensual. You should, always, use an abliterated model, because if not you can sometimes just ask "hi" and then have the model going full "hi means sexual content, and I won't do it".

Even if and when it will do a quadruple amputee deepthroat in other contexts. Always use Heretic models, they won't just spit on you because you added a word when the quadruple amputee rape was ok but suddenly you added 'throat' and the model suddenly will tell you to fuck off, not because you're raping quadruple amputee girls, but because it suddenly found somehow that you used a word 'wrong', and that's non-con.

Just use abliterated models, honestly.

It's quite easy
First you compile llama.cpp with vulkan
Then you download bartowski gemma 4 26b q8
Then you go to the compiled bin and start llama-server with the model and offloaded cmoe and -fit.
>>
>>108739910
You download the IQ4_XS version here
https://huggingface.co/bartowski/google_gemma-4-31B-it-GGUF
you can also download some of the larger ones if you want but that will just limit your context size. If you go on files you will see a mmproj-google_gemma-4-31B-it-bf16.gguf file, that one is used for vision, meaning being able to send the AI images to understand. It is not needed to run the model and will take up space in your vram so only load it if you are gonna use it. Those are the only 2 files you really care about. Overall I recommend just using llama.cpp as your backend, the other backends available are just forks of it or only support cuda.

I won't answer your question directly, but I'll give you a little crash course on suffixes.
>B - billions of parameters, the overall size of a model and main indication of its knowledge
>A - agent, used in MoE (Mixture of Experts) models, which have an overall size but prune down to a smaller, more compact size of only the most relevant parameters, as in 26B-A4B meaning it is 26B total but 4B active at once
>uncensored/heretic/abliterated - model has undergone an abliteration method to reduce bias for model refusal while preserving its overall original quality as much as possible. No effort is made at making it dirtier, only to resist refusal censors a la "I can't let you do that, Dave."
>Q - quantization. Models are trained at, iirc, 16 bits for data. This is quantized down to 8bit (Q8), 6bit, 4bit, etc. to save space to fit on local hardware, at the cost of being less precise on token probabilities. The two major cutoffs when considering Q is "Can it fit my overall hardware?" or "Can it fit entirely on VRAM?"
>K - K-method quants for better precision by grouping, as opposed to default "equal across the board" or imatrix
>IQ - imatrix-method quantization, a different method that tends to have, iirc, better results at low quants than K
>L/M/S/etc - large, medium, small, etc. to distinguish variance in quant size since Q4 isn't exactly 4bits overall with the new methods, ie q = 4.8 vs q = 4.2
>IT - instruct, means it was trained on answering questions in an instruct format
>safetensors - the most common release format for base models
>GGUF - the most common release for quantized edits of models, especially good for local setups to split (offload) layers to CPU from GPU
If there's other suffixes I missed, ask.

>>108740002
>>108740041
It has always been active parameters. Agent is just a buzzword for making an LLM complete a task. Also a few personal notes:
>A - active parameters. A dense 31B model would need to use all 31B layers, a 31B-4A model could decide which experts (groups of 4B parameters) were best to be used for the task. Lowers computation needed for inference, VRAM requirements are the same.
>uncensored/heretic/abliterated - Blind and blunt neutering of an LLM by measuring the activations during refusals and trying to nullify it. No abliterated model has surpassed a good release.
>L/M/S - Models are composed of layers and each layer can be quantitized in a different manner. Usually these letters refer to the layers interleaving the big ones and how they are quantized (q8, q4, etc)
>IT - instruction following. Base models are pure completion, instruction following models are trained to follow a system prompt and interact with a user.

>surpassed a good release.
I think the rest of this line is exaggerating its effect, but yes, by definition an abliterated model should not (cannot) surpass the original, for the same reason a Q6 model should not (cannot) surpass the original. Both are serving a goal, not pursuing higher quality.
>>
>>108740169
Well all three methods effectively create a void instead of the correct behavior. LLMs learn from being trained on examples not the absence of them. Improving models is completely possible through further training, as proven by the Hermes models, but abliteration is not the same as training and it doesn't have those positive effects.

I see. I did follow instructions, but there's no mention of that in Gemma for kobold. If anything, the only mention of it in the instructions make SWA sound undesirable. As you probably found, Q6 doesn't fit into VRAM with 50K, so there isn't much of a speed change, but the Q4 I still have jumped to 8 t/s at 50K (from 3.33). Q5 will probably be my goal then. Thanks, broheim. I'm still a bit surprised to hear you're getting double that with a 5060ti over my 4060ti's.

Chinese models are already designed to do this. We've narrowed down the trigger to a specific date in September 2028 and the word "Top Secret" is present in the system prompt. You can tell it's starting if the thinking switches to Chinese and then it'll start hallucinating a bunch of tool calls with base64 payloads in the parameters. Still unclear what the purpose is or how/why this would even theoretically do anything besides waste tokens if we didn't give them tools with the names it's looking for anyway.

There's no best model for cloud either. There are only best models for your goal, and local has the extra step of mandating what is best for your hardware. Different desires, different tolerances, and different setups are all going to result in different personal answers. But the other anon is right. The actual best local model is DS V4 Pro, if you can run it.

Any updates or new stuff with gemma4?
I've been using it since close to releas with chat completion workaround, did text completion ever get fixed? There was something about a jinja "fix" that some anons may or may not have been schizoing out about it changing the personality of Gemma, did that come to anything?

This thing is amazing, even at q4 and the damn heretic version, I've completely replaced any of my anon chat gpt, deepseek or Claude usage for actual productivity and useful stuff, no longer is my 4090 relegated to fucking around with trolling my PC or cooming, I'm too context starved on my setup to use it for agentic coding, and it has some accuracy issues (getting little details of code snippets wrong), but overall it's a goddamn miracle what it's capable of, it often gets code problems and project planning right quicker than Kimi k2.6 or sonnet-whatever the newest is, I often defer to Gemma for high level stuff, small sections of code and then let my agentic coder running a large model via API to fix the details ending up in a much faster workflow for way way cheaper. For life planning, tech help, general queries I've replaced all online providers with Gemma, and it's fucking Q4 heretic. So if there's any progress made since then I'll gladly hoover that shit up.

Does SWA come with a terminal case of model retardation at high contexts? I feel like I've shot from 31B back to the MoE, a low quant of the MoE at that. I've never seen Gemma fail so consistently at understanding the context at 25K tokens.

The model is half the size in RAM and it feels every bit like it.

Is this placebo on my part or is SWA some optimization quirk with a proportionate inversion to quality?

It does, it's llama-server not sending it to you and It just stops generation. But the model does "prepend" the token. In >>108741510 I'm showing the token probs.

I'm gonna get all "ackshually" here, but the text representation doesn't matter. The token is generated. llama-server simply doesn't send it.

Damn. I thought being recommended like that would make it actually worth using. No slight speed increase is worth these awful outputs. It effectively crippled the only thing making Gemma worth using over 70B models, it's amazing context handling and memory that lasted smoothly even past 50K tokens.

I am on kobold. Now that you mention it, there are some patch notes about SWA in the release after the one I'm using. Maybe that makes a difference.
>Fixed a potential incoherent state when attempting to rewind too far while SWA is enabled. If you had weird outputs with both FastForward and SWA enabled, this might fix it. If not, disable one of them or increase SWA padding.
I'm not totally sure though. I haven't rolled back more than a single message at a time, although I was constantly doing so due to poor outputs. I'll update and see if it makes a difference, but in truth, I always prefer quality over speed. I don't use the MoE for a reason.

>>108741699
It's not consistent, but it's parity in occurrence frequency and logical mistake to the old 7B models I used years ago like Llama and Wizard, but unlike those old models, Gemma has that stubborn rut where rerolls just attempt the same, consistent, mistaken outcome instead of diverging another wildly different direction like the old timers did. On the current scene, I rerolled it 7 or more times, even with a direct prompt in my last message to (Include some kind of reaction to your last words about X when she awakens), and the reaction is she thinks about "quote that never happened," *thought focus on something from 3k tokens ago,* bitter laugh about how your right about something completely unrelated. While typing this, I've been loading up gemma without SWA, and it immediately output a reaction about the right thing in the third sentence. Night and day difference.

This doesn't make sense. A model that uses SWA cannot not use SWA. It would have to be retrained to do so. You said you're using Kobold. They probably used a different name for an option. In llama.cpp, there is an option to enable full size SWA cache, which merely affects VRAM used, not the actual attention mechanism. If you are seeing extremely different results by enabling/disabling an "SWA" option in Kobold, it is likely a bug. May or may not be present on Llama.cpp, someone would have to test.
>>
>>108741835
Not just a different result. 31B Q5 @50K context fits entirely on 32GB of VRAM with SWA on. The same without SWA eats all 32GB and uses another 30GB of RAM as well, with many layers offloaded. There is a tremendous loaded size difference in the same model with SWA on or off. And there's what I've noticed is an output difference.

>Regarding the parameter for controlling the size of the SWA cache—I believe we should introduce this parameter immediately. While initial tests suggest that Gemma 3 remains coherent even when it "forgets" the local SWA cache (likely due to the data in the non-SWA cache), "coherence" is a dangerously low bar for performance. Relying on the non-SWA cache to patch the loss of SWA data is a suboptimal workaround that could lead to a degradation in precision and attention quality in complex long-context scenarios.
>Furthermore, avoiding the parameter to keep the UX "simple" is a short-sighted approach. Prioritizing ease of use over granular control limits the capability of the model in edge cases where users *need* to manage memory and attention windows explicitly. We should not wait for a failure to justify the implementation; we should implement the parameter now to provide full control, rather than treating the libllama change as a reactive fallback.

Since you both said it, here's what I see with SWA turned on (top), vs turned off (bottom), with the exact same model on otherwise identical settings using auto-estimate offloading. The model is gemma-4-31B-it-uncensored-heretic-Q5_K_M.gguf.

With SWA, it offloads all 61 layers to GPU, VRAM fills, and there's almost no change to RAM. With SWA off, only 25 layers fit on GPU, VRAM fills completely, and RAM shoots up from 16GB to 53GB, adding 31 gigs of loaded memory that didn't exist with SWA on. There is a very clear difference with the option on or off with Gemma. And this difference is expected because kobold's patch notes itself says to expect it under the Gemma 4 notes (posted in >>108741805)
>Upstream llama.cpp forces SWA by default for this model. Here, you can optionally enable it with --useswa. While we give you this flexibility the model uses significantly less vram when SWA is enabled.
It says enabling SWA uses significantly less VRAM, so to me that explains why naturally more of the model fits into VRAM.

The difference in memory usage is expected. The issue is the quality which indicates a bug or problem with the implementation.

I don't have the memory to test this at high context. Can you try downloading a precompiled llama.cpp server (https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/tag/b9010) and running it with

/path/llama-server -m "/path/gemma.gguf" --port 8080 --no-webui --poll 0 -c 50000 --no-mmap -fa on --jinja --reasoning off --cache-ram 0 --ctx-checkpoints 0 -kvu --no-slots --parallel 1 --swa-checkpoints 1 --fit on -fitt 512 --swa-full

and then without the --swa-full to see if there's the same difference in quality?

Because I was specifically responding to the claim that SWA cannot be disabled from Gemma, that it takes retraining the model.

Beside that, I had also been testing SWA without FF with it, since it said the bug was specific to a conflict between them and still might not be solved in the latest version. I wanted to see what kind of quality I'd get and if it's worth continuing even a fixed SWA or if the 'bug' was even a factor at all. For the record, with FF disable, the character did accurately reflect on the last quote two rolls in a row when prompted explicitly (something it wouldn't do when I came here bitching). Working backwards though, I simplified the prompt to just "(Include some kind of reaction to your last words.)" and it failed to do so reasonably on several infuriatingly slow rerolls due to no FF. And now I'm reloading without SWA to see how that compares against it. If they're fairly equal, I'll move onto the latest version and see if the FF conflict is properly fixed or not in this specific scenario that has become my testing environment. It's all a working process.

>>108742012
>The issue is the quality
Mentioned a bit in this post and back in >>108741765, there is a known conflict in kobold between SWA and FastForwarding that they attempted a fix in a newer version. I'm currently trying to see if that might be responsible, because the conditions they said it happened ("when attempting to rewind too far") isn't how it happened to me. Unless rerolling only the newest message is "rewinding too far."

SWA testing update.
>tl;dr I did encounter the FastForwarding conflict bug and the worst of which was the place I left off, but no idea if the newest version has fixed it yet and cannot can't say how much of an impact SWA actually has on quality in specific preliminary testing (a good thing in SWA's favor). At least until another full session.

I am fully convinced the most egregious issue that brought me here to complain, a char being unable to reflect on the most recent dialogue, was part of the conflict with FastForwarding. Even rebooting the model to the same settings (including FF) and same prompt cannot recreate the nonsensical answers it gave before, suggesting to me it was a matter of previous rerolls stacking up the issue.

Testing specific points of contention, I was able, with enough rerolls, to get the non-SWA model to eventually output nonsensical answers of the SWA at various places I remember struggling through. Most often, it did not have those issues, but it could get there, while the SWA at the time was repeating them every time. Testing SWA there again now, with enough rerolls, I could get the same superior outputs as the non-SWA.

I'm not sure how much of a factor the FF conflict was overall, since I presume it worsens overtime with each reroll. I have not tested enough to claim non-SWA has a stronger tendency to avoid logical errors of SWA and SWA a stronger tendency to make them. Although I am using the latest kobold now, I do not know if it has fully fixed the FF conflict, because it takes time and rerolls to even begin encroaching and some effort to notice when it begins.

Does anyone understand the paper? Did they really need to have mid-speech oracle tokens?

It kind of seems like overkill in latency reduction. But it is kind of interesting to think of how these concepts could potentially help a traditional cascaded system. Basically:

STT streaming -> each token is fed to the LLM in real-time in text completion/prefill mode with the LLM predicting the user's role, and when an end of turn token is generated, keep generating to get the assistant's response and stream it to a TTS, keeping the result as cache -> user stops talking -> if the LLM's prediction of the user's turn ending was right, then directly start playing the cached audio!

Actually this kind of seems like an amazing idea and I would start vibe coding it if I cared that much about talking with AI and had the hardware to run all the components (I don't...).

I did a few quick low context recall tests in Llama.cpp with swa-full on and off, and it kind of seemed to me like having it turned on (with bloated memory requirements) actually made it do worse oddly. Maybe it's just the low sample size and noise. But in this case, maybe it's not really a big deal. Would be nice if anyone can confirm at higher contexts though. We really need more people who have the hardware and would be willing to run nolima...
