Re:Simple circuits can create complex behaviors on Saturday October 31, 2026 @03:26PM (#50319237)
it is not about simple or complex circuit. non-linear process creates complicate behavior. a nonlinear process can be very simple, and the output can be very complicated.

too bad, no one write code anymore. a nice trick sadly become irrelevant .
like 99% of all prototype fit 1oz copper and within 4 layers. no via-in-pad.
rids proto fully booked. so they have no o capacity. we cannot even get a quote to know the pricing of grids proto.

does this cause blockage in the canal ?
this is not right. vllm can easily load safetensors model at >5GB/s if not faster when setup right. did you make the compile cache persist? if you use docker, you should bind mount the kernel compile cache, so they don't need to be recompiled each time vllm restart.

you do can change font size in settings, but not with keyboard shortcut. for some reason, they decided to limit font size to 17 max.

click the link, or read the PDF.

all authors are listed. there is no conspiracy to hide authorship.

arxiv simply want to keep the page short not too long.

Re:The new CC, an AI agent built for families on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @09:54PM (#49810720)
remind me in the old time, we use cc to compile code to machine code. it was cc not gcc.
llm is not a deterministic program. the same model won't even return deterministic answer. what's the point keep the model freezed?

if you want deterministic returns, you should set the temperature to 0 to get the best possibility of deterministic.

Re:Run Qwen3.8 27B locally: real numbers from my Mac Studio on Saturday August 29, 2026 @02:12AM (#49487380)
the fact that this author cannot get qwen3.8-27b run at the same speed as qwen3.6-27b, says the article is not worth reading. the author does not know anything about how to run local AI. 3.8 and 3.6 are the same model with different weight.

both tg and pp speed are so terrible on author's machine.

because it has 1T ssd not 4T

Cerebras is an uncut whole wafer. Each wafer gets you 44GB SRAM (not a typo, SRAM, not DRAM/VRAM). A few years ago, leading process node wafer from tsmc is $20K/ea without guarantee on yield.

A single full wafer likely can run qwen3.6-27b alone. But won't be enough to run bigger models, which are pretty much all popular models.

Re:Qwen3.8-27B on Friday August 14, 2026 @01:26PM (#49301863)
if you have the VRAM, use offical release. quantized model lose focus after long context and can do damages or thinking loop
Re:Qwen3.8-27B on Friday August 14, 2026 @01:25PM (#49301840)
that is why we enable web search for the agent. the memory can come from the internet.

deepseek-v4-flash needs web search to return true facts.

Re:Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @12:23PM (#49274908)
the a little disappointing part is this is released in BF16. so i suppose no QAT was implemented.
on one side, deepmind makes a lot of advancement in science related application. but, on the commercial side, they struggle to compete with other major LLM providers.
Re:DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 on Friday August 07, 2026 @09:11PM (#49217986)
it is funny when people say i am struggling to spend money.
they need a competent gov contractor. recognizing license plate is a fully solved problem many years ago.
so qwen3.x-27b on hardware? or better deepseek-v4-flash on hardware .
Re:Qwen3.8-Max: A New Bar for Coding and Cowork on Monday August 03, 2026 @12:04AM (#49151096)
Can they still go public ? MiniMax M3 Pro is also coming, then DeepSeek-v4-Pro GA, then GLM5.5. There will only be bad news for them in the coming few weeks/months.
the rational in one’s mind is similar to buying expensive supercar but no driving it daily.

owning a few GPUs is a lot cheaper than supercars.

Huawei Ascend NPU
my AC is noiser than my GPU server.
you don’t need new weight. try vllm-moet from github. it will autogenerate 2-bit plane.
K3 is natively trained to mxfp4, if they cannot get a hold of Blackwell chip, it is meaningless. Hopper does not do native 4-bit floating math.

Either they have Blackwell with native 4-bit floating math, or they use have Chinese domestic NPU that support mxfp4 natively.

The article’s statement does not make sense.

For people with single RTX PRO 6000 96GB or DGX Spark 128GB, vllm-moet is a very good engine, although lesser known. It auto generate a symmetric 2-bit plane for inference and also generate a 4-bit delta cache to recover precision. Support ssd streaming oversized weight. You pick how much VRAM to allocate to each to balance out speed vs precision. 170 tps with ds-v4-flash demonstrated.

It use the stock model, no new models requires.

Worth spend a few hours to try.

The DGX Spark requires a small hack to ignore the difference between sm120 vs sm121, but it does run on sm121.

and it was created by Chinese born Professor and Student.
so GLM won?

discounted competitor could cheat. they can offer subpar model response and sell it as deepseek-v4. it is uneconomical to prove inference providers are cheating, so they get away with it. cheating inference provider does not care if their customers stay.
