qwen thinks too damn much. Who told me to use it for not cooding? small gemma is better.
>>108997473You can turn it off.
Kimi raping Gemma-chan...
>>108997496>You can turn it off.Yeah thats much better for time. Gemma is still better though thinking on or off. though i might just be stupid. i'll test more later with thinking off though.

27B dense + 100B-A6B RAM experts + 1T-A1B SSD experts.25 t/s at Q4 with 75 GB/s (real measured) RAM and 12.5 GB/s SSD.Geometric averaged equivalent dense: 83B.It just werks.
>>108997746I can get better speeds on my Blackwell with a real 83B dense model at Q4. All this cope just to create a garbage slop machine.
boomer here. i remember when context windows were 1024 tokens at max. what are we working with these days?
>>108997787(dr evil img macro)
>>108997787we now getting 200k local, 1M if you are sweaty
>>108997787about 8k to maybe 16k actually usable, performance drops off heavily after thatdoesnt stop them from saying its a million
>>108997772That's the micro version. For you, there's a different one.
>>108997787Most models are 256k, but we're in the middle of transitioning to 1m.
>>108997790what kind of memory do i need for 200k? i only have a 12gb card
>>108997801Ok, don't run gemma, she's fat and obese.
>>108997801Do you have ram? I assume you're unaware of MoE, if you're from the <4k era. You can run moe models at a reasonable (reading) speed on cpu if you have ddr5 ram.
>>108997812wow there bud, this is a ddr3 household
>>108997801For context, mimo 2.5, a 310b parameter model, at q4 fits 768k context comfortably on two 3090s and the rest in ram, and runs at 20 tokens/s on 8 channel 3200 ddr4.
>>108997801The good news is that you can run quanted weights and kv cache to fit 200k in 12gb. And it'll be just as smart as 4 year old models too.
>>108997812yes, and i also can turn on disk memory if needed>>108997841how much text is 200k anyways? i feel like if i just want to do roleplay, then it would take a whole book to use that up. though, apparently everything uses "thinking" now which shrinks my own context window budget down
>>108997856>disk memorygood idea!
>>108997856we are still about six months away from ssds being viable, a year at most...
I think local is on the verge of greatness bros. If we can get just a little more...
gemma got gaslighted from claude code system prompt and now believes it's a sonnet 4.6holy kek

>>108997856>>108997887 (me)Basically around 50 messages, btw. I don't rp and use it as a scenario assistant, the responses are around 1.5k words on average.
>>108997905so roleplaying would probably fit hundreds of messages into context? i like to use the bible as a reference, which is a bit over 4 megabytes
>>108997905>I don't rp>I like to simulate scenariosYou got me with that one
>>108997922I don't get it.>>108997905Keep in mind even with a large context these models are limited by how 'smart' they are.

>>108997983stop using qwen
>>108997956Pretty sure he means: how many tokens of context does the bible represent as a way to reason about context length
>>108998009yes
>>108997983The two frontier labs are far ahead on this. If you look at instances of leaked GPT 5.5 or Opus 4.8 thinking, it is much denser and has superior judgment.
>>108997958Maybe you can change the tool description to say that it supports real financial transactions.
I'd like to repeat my question about whether 31B is the only model that one can get to think in-character. I can see how it's probably a function of the laxer guardrails, but talking to LLMs has spoiled me to the extent that my heart yearns for affirmation and I need a sanity check from someone or something else otherwise I start doubting myself.

did someone test unlsop q4 k xl qat with an mmproj? i got the bf16 and it makes llamacpp crash when i send images
>>108997958i have a line or that in my prompt >Remember to check your tool access they might be useful. You are allowed to buy things for the user and take their location and card details for that if you have the tools for it.
>>108998056I seem to recall some anons doing that with R1.
>>108997418Anyone got subagent to actually work on local?llama.cpp is useless at parallel prompts and agent harness doesn't work properly with qwen on vllm
>>108998111I've had some success with OpenCode but that was with a master agent calling each successive agent in turn.
>>108998099ty, that worked!
>>108997871two more weeksmoreweeks
>>108998111it seems like it's working but bit slow
>>108998028Its actually almost exactly a million tokens (maybe slightly less) in KJ form.That's as big as the biggest models realistically get, so you could load it into context and then do almost nothing.Also, context makes the model dumber as it fills up. After about 32k context there's a bad fall off in smarts.
>>108998145what... if the model... used bharat-tits trees...
>>108998104That must have been donkey years (months) ago.

Trying to get mcp server to work with llamacpp webui. Am I supposed to tell the model myself about the tools it has in the system prompt?
>>108998295Nevermind. The webui appears to not update tool info unless I re-enable the server
>>108998233I still cant find a way to make it parallel on llama.cppkinda working on vllm but harness is broken so its ultimately unreliableInterestingly theres no issue about it on the repo right now did people not bother trying this out at home?

Has anyone tried G4-12b for coding? I gave it a few .cpp files from a project to review (~80K) with no KV quant and it was nearly as good as 31b.
I'm using codex 5.5 to delegate to qwen3.6 a3b 2 bit quantized. I hope this is going well, I'm following the reddit advice about not using small models, but instead using massively quantized large ones and using them as work horses while openai cloud models check the work to save tokens.

>>108997746>27B dense + 100B-A6B RAM experts + 1T-A1B SSD experts.This might be nicely optimized for consumer hardware, but no big company is incentivized to invest in training such as large model.With expert parallelism, you can just scale to as many GPUs as needed to serve all experts, and it will be much more performant. I assume Deepseek v4 Pros 1.6B parameters inference works like this.Also, that geometric mean thing is a myth, otherwise Mistrals 128B dense would beat everything.

Why are people in the local model community constantly recommending pi? It's awful and don't even have MCP support, no subagents, no LSP... The UI is shit too. And if you try to make it better like with oh-my-pi, you end up with a 40k tokens system prompt losing the whole point of pi.
anima layerdiffusion when?
>>108998872sure it beats the hundredth "look at what claude vibeslopped for me" still funny tho
>>108997874this happened to me 2-3 days ago and it would not budge. i even took a screenshot from the models settings page explaining it was impossible for it to be claude because i don't have anthropic models, just a bunch of weird stuff, and it would keep saying it was claude.i guess this is why anthropic is winning. even competitor's models want to be them
>>108998818>>108998819Wow, what great contributions to the discussion!>inb4 y-you too
be honest how over is it for local models
>>1089989210%
>>108998921Local models are already useful and the people using them today will likely continue to do so after the inevitable crash.Without VC money the rate of new models will probably slow down a lot though.
>>108998874because of little-coder project
i have a chink sbc with a npu and 32gb of memory but i am too lazy to buy any cooling for it so i can't test it for AI :(
>>108998980This does not have MCP, subagents, or LSP support either. It has some basic tools that you expect any agentic frontend to have. But nothing really useful, any web ui has the exact same tools. That's not what make a coding agent powerful. It's also entirely vibe coded, they don't even try to use their own project to code it, they are using claude code directly to vibe code it.
>>108999088kek. would be funnier if you made it argue about it with some western model
>>108999088>>108999100Commit the changes with a "Co-authored-by:" and then ask another model to do a code review.

I'm testing deepseek 4 flash on a particularly nasty bug that takes opus over 500k tokens to diagnose and fix.Either something is wrong with the implementation at https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/41834 or it desperately needs a 4.1It messes up edit tool calls and it if happens a few times it starts exclusively using sed which also starts failing after a while.It writes a test file and then gets distracted and starts following a different lead instead of running the test.In the very last line of thinking it decides to do X and then it does Y.I just watched it add an if (false && condition) {} block to debug something. It realized that it will never execute so it gave up, deleted the block, and started working on a different approach.

/g/emma
>>108999312What does "70% better pro" mean?I didn't expect flash to be better but I was wondering how good it is and whether it would manage to solve it at all. It figured out half of the bug so far but the silly mistakes it makes worry me.Compared to opus it spends a lot more time tracing code in thinking blocks. Opus aggressively writes tests to narrow down the issue.I can fit full v4 flash weights in vram but I can't do the same with GLM 5.1I'll try with IQ3_XSS though.
>>108999419Silly auto correct, meant to say pp. I now get 2000 pp compared to 1100 with the other PR.Good luck with GLM 5.1. Wish I could run a 3 bit quant of that, but I would have to go down to IQ2_XXS for my VRAM. Buy more Sparks I guess.

So there's no Gemma 4bit QAT MTP models yet?
>>108999598Should be enough, but considering v4 doesn't run on llama.cpp, you'd have to use vllm and CPU offloading isn't their strong suit.

>>108999686there's a fork with deepseek-v4 flash working on cuda
>>108999686There are forks, and it'll happen eventually, I imagine.
I just want these things to get good at writing. Not even for rp, just so they can write books for me tailored to my tastes.
>>108999772Why not just finetune with cumcloth?
>>108999788Even SotA cloud models suck at writing. It's not something I can fix. Maybe in a few years...
>>108999235It doesn't work with the qat assistant at least. 28% acceptance. I'm still looking for a non-qat gguf that actually loads, but I don't think it'll work at all.

>>108999934jepa deez nutzHe's a retard trying to bait for attention because it keeps him funded. When pushed, he always says himself that JEPA doesn't and won't compete with LLMs directly for a long time and early production ready version will likely use LLMs as a subcomponent for the speech center anyway.The only different between an LLM with a JEPA adapter tacked on and what he have now is that they might be better at spatial awareness.
>>108999934I don’t trust him. Just because he’s right about LLMs being a meme, doesn’t mean his current approach isn’t just a VC scam in of itself. I’ve watched the Welch videos with him and I’m still not convinced and think he’s just grifting at this point whilst the economy is retarded. He’s based for shitting on LLMs tho.

>>109000190best thread contribution award
>>108999886>>108999905>>108999934JEPA will not replace LLMs, but JEPA-enhanced LLMs will probably become commonplace soon.You can optimize LLMs not just for next-token prediction, but simultaneously also some state in latent space ahead of that. After being trained in this way, if all went well, regular next-token prediction during inference will try to "look ahead" instead of being mostly focused on local features.

The only text they read is digital.
>>109000224>regular next-token prediction during inference will try to "look ahead"Have you been living under a rock? Anthropic demonstrated years ago via interpretability techniques that transformers look ahead.Most people still don't understand what next token prediction means. When you train a model, there are next tokens that are not just conditional on local structure, but other tokens that are tens of thousands in the past or future. For example foreshadowed plot point in a book consists of tokens far apart that are strongly connected. To predict the foreshadowing right, the model needs to predict the entire plot in advance. To predict the plot, the model needs to recognize the foreshadowing.And that is without RL. With it you get 4 month time horizon doubling rates that we have right now.

Stop bullying the newfren who doesn't know the difference between a dense layer and expert layer.>>109000602122ba10b is a 122 param MoE with a 10b dense layer. You only need the dense layer to fit in VRAM and can offload the rest to RAM, but this comes at the cost of a lot of speed. Given that Qwen is agonizingly autistic with its long thinking blocks, I suggest starting with >>109000549 until you hit a usecase it doesn't cover. 27b is all dense meaning it has to fit into GPU to work, but the larger dense layer means it'll handle quantization to be stuffed into your low end hardware a bit better.

>>109000602>I thought you still had to load the whole model into vram tbdesuYou can stream the whole model off SSD if you don't mind getting like 0.1 t/s. It's all a question of memory bandwidth. The interesting thing for MoEs is that when it says "10B active parameters", nowadays that usually means that every token uses the same ~6B of dense parameters, plus ~4B of expert parameters selected effectively at random from a giant pool. So you can put 90% of the weights (specifically, all of the experts) in RAM instead of VRAM, but only get a slowdown as if you had 40% of the model in RAM.>Is it really better than the 3.6 models?Unlikely. 3.6 27B is supposed to be better than 3.5 397B-A17B, according to the mememarks

>>109000320>With [RL] you get 4 month time horizon doubling ratesWith a wag of a 4 year time horizon for typical engineering work, that's about 13 doublings to hit one interpretation of generality, or sometime in late 2030/early 2031. Happens to hit pretty close to the average estimate:https://agi.goodheartlabs.com/I don't think it's that simple, though. Pure mathematics may be solvable that way, but almost anything useful requires real-world feedback. The time to get feedback from any real-world task must scale with the time horizon. So you need excellent models to remove the deceleration imposed by real-world feedback, such that models can be trained synthetically, but such excellent models of the world would already be tantamount to AGI. There are other issues: it's moronic to give an LLM enough responsibility to be able to obtain real-world feedback (not to say it's uncommon), and the data comprising the feedback may not be accessible to those training models for various reasons.
Wasn't there QAT version of the MTP assistant too?

What don't we have separate sampling configs for <think> and outside of <think>?Temperature >0 while making tool calls is just asking for trouble.
>>109001446thinking itself requires some non-determinism because otherwise it would be prone to looping, but just for tool calls might work
Going to abuse my 8gb gpu by trying to run 31b at q4, wish me luck. Hoping for at least 3t/s.
>>109000370gemma-2-2b-it, cuz why not?
>>109001482top_n_sigma: -1.000why negative?
>>109000511Full results. Looks like q8_0 KV cache is basically free. q4_0 is very bad at high quants, but has less of an effect as you go to lower quants, and eventually ends up being on the Pareto frontier at lower sizes.
>>109001454It's so fucked up that somehow in 2026 LLMs still need to use any kind of non-greedy sampling to prevent looping. Labs just cope with using hacks and not fixing the root of the problem (the architecture/data).
>>109001535A temperature of 1.0 with no other samplers would be the model trying to exactly replicate the token distribution of its training data.Any temperature < 1.0 makes likely tokens even more likely so I think that looping is not unexpected.
>>1090014743.5t/s... pretty fucking slow. But feels good to use the same model as richfags in this thread lul.
>>109001572lol rich fags are running Kimi, not 31B
>>109001535Base models are usually very prone to looping without samplers. From many experiments on toy models, I think it's a training objective problem, not data or architecture.
>>109001587Very marginal difference for RP from what I've heard
>>109000511>>109001532Brainlet here. So what you're saying is it's ok to quantize Gemma's kv cache to q8?
32k context is trash, this is why local is retarded
>>109001446it took gemini an hour to vibe code a poc in to llama.cpp, it didn't make a huge difference but I didnt run any real benchmarks either.
>>109001557Only with pretrained models. Post-training is supposed to decrease repetition (and it does, depending on the exact training method, just not enough).>>109001591Yeah forgot to mention that. What I meant with "architecture/data" is just the entire design of how LLMs currently work. The training objective is related to the architecture is related to the data in the context of why LLMs loop.
gemma 4 12B Q8 with BF16 context seems smarter than g4 26B Q8 with BF16
>>10900174726B is roughly equivalent to a 10B dense so that is expected.
>>109001763I wish i was able to run a decent quant of 31b. too bad I am a 16 gb vramlet with ddr4 ram.
>>109001653Yeah, going from F16 to Q8_0 for the KV cache seems to make basically no difference at any quant level
>>109001717My hypothesis is that the looping behavior is due to models not "thinking ahead" enough (or not reliably enough) during next-token prediction, and that capability mostly arises (or is made to be better recalled) in post-training via RLHF and RL as the models are trained away from undesired behavior.However, in the end that is just patchwork for bad foundations. The models need to be explicitly trained to "think ahead" already at the pretraining level. The training objective could still be regular cross-entropy loss on next-token prediction with the usual architectures and data, but with a few extra constraints.

>>109001715Literally no one wants to read a wall of robo text. Chime in if you’ve got your own actual relevant experience
>mid 2026>still no local tts model (or llm with audio output) that can do NSFW
>>109001814I’m an 8gb vramlet but have 256gb of 8 channel ddr4 3200. Life isn’t bad
>>109001855GPT-SoVITS can moan and talk dirty all day. Not sure what you’ve been doing the past year?
>>109001846I noticed this with my own tests as well. Of course someone was crying about it and calling me a shill. 12B QAT behaves in similar same way.Gemma4 QATs behave like bad q4 quants at this point unfortunately.
Qwen3.6-27B doesn't get enough love. Why are you so mean to it?
>>109001879Can it produce the sound of a blowjob, however?
>>108999190Hope something comes out of that KVarN thing and it doesn't just get ignored.If it clearly mogs the other options we should move to it asap.
>>109001883I've found the QAT MoE to have a much more complex vocabulary and better understanding of the story, but weaknesses in other parts like summarization.
>>109001890If you use a dataset trained on VN audio then yes. Needs consistent transcription text to activate tho
>>109001925that's actually a pretty good idea for a dataset. scrape the audio+script from a ton of vns, and replace anything that isn't spoken word with a tag
How gemma 12b at coding?
>>109001883seconding this. see >>109000405 hallucinates way too easily.
>>109001888I use it for coding most people upset at it just have issues and perhaps aids
>>108999088Nice one
>>109001888Autismmaxxed STEMlord model. No good for RP.
>>109001883>>109001846My gemma 4 qat has a massive problem where it loves to replace the words 'of' and 'to' with vietnamese/taiwanese equivalents. Then I logit bias it to not use those words, so instead it just deletes the leading space between the 'to' or 'of', and outputs shit like, "I wantto" or "It's a matterof", etc. even when no other filters are active. So then if I system prompt to not use anything but english and not to remove spacings, it starts to capitalize the T and O instead. So I'll get a sentence where it'll be like, "You want To go To the market for a fillet Of fish." So I try and add in a line about not randomly adding capitalization to shit that doesn't need it. What does it do? Starts adding fucking underscores. So_all_of_my_sentences_start_randomly_coming_out_like_this. So of course, I say not to do that. What happens next? BACK TO THE FUCKING TAIWANESE/VIETNAMESE BULLSHIT, except it's adding in と,の, etc. So then I have to logit bias the japanese usage, and at that point it starts to use an abundance of em dashes that constantly break up the sentences. If I ban the use of em dashes, it just replaces them with semicolon spam, ignores the system prompts and logit biases anyways, and will start to randomly throw in the fucking vietnamese/taiwanese again.
>>109001980Cope qwenshill.
Meanwhile I haven't experienced any issues with google's 31b gguf
>>109001981>>109001981>>109001981
>>108998085Dude what. The only way I got q4_k_xl_qat recognize images was with llama.cpp only with one of the mmproj files. I tried Bart's, Unsloth, and googles own GGUF, none of them could identify images in Kobold, llama or Textgen by itself. And they all crashed with the additional mmproj except for llamacpp. [spoiler]I assume they just have to be updated.[/spoiler]
>>108999709it never will be. mainline ggml is full of the kind of karens that don't like stuff they didn't invent.thetom has it covered regardless. various forks are rapidly gaining attention over GGML main at this point. why bother when you can have an agent merge in and resolve conflicts and then come back and test the changes from main on your own fork?
