I appreciate it, just started getting into 'vibe' coding converting some non arm (mac) apps into arm and it's pretty magical on this 128gb m5 max, a little slow but it can run deepseek flash 1017 pretty well.

Watched a few youtube apps about a 'harness' and I still haven't dived too deep into it but using openchamber to work with the code is awesome. Next step is MCP to various apps and seeing what it can do.

What do you mean? DeepSeek Flash 1017 is well over 200GB even at 1 bit quantization, how are you running it locally?

SSD offloading [1]:

> Unsloth Desktop + llama.cpp enables ~3x faster DeepSeek-V4.1 inference than other CPU/VRAM/ngram repos. DeepSeek and runs locally on 128GB+ RAM setups or 64GB RAM (slower).
