EAGLE-3 introduces two key innovations: Training-Time Testing (TTT) and... multi-level feature fusion. By removing the feature prediction constraint used in previous EAGLE versions and leveraging semantic features across multiple layers, EAGLE-3 achieves higher acceptance rates, faster generation, and lossless performance. The result? - 5.6× faster than vanilla decoding (13B) Compared to EAGLE-1, EAGLE-3 delivers a 1.8× speedup on the 13B model, with the future EAGLE-4 release expected to further improve decoding efficiency. *Inference on the video conducted on 2x RTX 3090 GPUs at fp16 precision using the Vicuna 13B model.show more

Right now, you may not have access to models... like GPT‑5.6 Sol, GPT‑4.6 Terra, GPT‑5.6 Luna, Claude Mythos 5, or Claude Fable 5. But you can run something surprisingly powerful today, locally, and completely free. in the next 10 mins on your 8 GB VRAM gaming laptop. Gemma 4 26B A4B QAT (MoE) delivers strong performance on a standard 8 GB VRAM GPU using Ollama, with no API, no usage limits, and no external dependencies. Out of the box, it reaches around 20 tokens per second without any optimizations. Only one command in your terminal: Ollama run gemma4:26b This means: Full offline capability (privacy by default) Zero recurring cost Competitive performance for many real world tasks Fast enough for interactive use on cheap consumer hardware If you're waiting for cutting edge cloud models, you're missing what is already practical today: a capable, local LLM that runs entirely on your own machine.show more

Researchers made KMeans 200x faster. And the new technique... also beats approaches like cuML and FAISS. Flash-KMeans is an IO-aware implementation of exact KMeans that redesigns the algorithm around modern GPU bottlenecks. By attacking the memory bottlenecks directly, Flash-KMeans achieves: - 33x speedup over cuML - 200x speedup over FAISS This speedup comes from how it moves through GPU memory. Standard KMeans runs in two steps, and both are bottlenecked by reads and writes to GPU memory: 1) The first step matches every point to its nearest centroid. Standard KMeans computes the full point-to-centroid distance matrix, writes it out to GPU memory, then reads it back to find each nearest centroid. That write-then-read round trip is the bottleneck. Flash-KMeans combines the distance calculation with the nearest-centroid step, so the result is computed on-chip and the full matrix is never written out. 2) The second step recomputes each centroid by averaging the points assigned to it. Standard KMeans has thousands of threads writing into the same centroid slots at once, so they stall waiting for their turn. Flash-KMeans sorts points by cluster first, turning scattered writes into sequential reductions that read and write memory in one efficient pass. Using these two optimizations at the million-scale, Flash-KMeans completes a standard KMeans iteration in a few milliseconds. The video below depicts this in action. Several reasons why this is important: KMeans has always been an offline primitive. Something you run once to preprocess data and move on. These speedups make the approach viable in several runtime-critical systems. ↳ Vector indices like FAISS use KMeans to build search indices. Faster KMeans means you can re-index dynamically as data changes. ↳ LLM quantization methods need KMeans to find optimal weight codebooks, per layer, repeatedly. What takes hours could now take minutes. ↳ MoE models need fast token routing at inference time. Flash-KMeans makes it viable to run this inside the inference loop, not just in preprocessing. I have shared the paper in the replies. That said, memory is the real constraint Flash-KMeans solves, and the problem is not just limited to clustering. The vectors a RAG system stores after indexing create similar bottlenecks. I wrote a detailed walkthrough recently on cutting this vector memory by 32x with binary quantization, querying 36M+ vectors in a few milliseconds. Read it below.show more

NVIDIA just released a very impressive text-to-video paper. Video... Latent Diffusion Models (Video LDMs) use a diffusion model in a compressed latent space to generate high-resolution videos. Here's a brief overview of how it works: 1. Pre-train image LDM on a dataset of images. 2. Turn the image LDM into a Video LDM by adding temporal layers to model video frames. 3. Fine-tune the Video LDM on encoded video sequences to create a video generator. 4. Temporally align diffusion model upsamplers to generate high-resolution videos. 5. Validate Video LDM on real driving videos of 512x1024 resolution, achieving state-of-the-art performance. 6. Apply the approach in creative content creation with text-to-video modeling.

You’ve heard of DRAM, HBM, probably SRAM, but RDRAM…now... that was a weird one. Famously used in the Sony PS2, its RDRAM had ~3x the bandwidth of your typical high end PC. If you want more memory bandwidth in a dense die, there’s (roughly) two things you can do. You can *add* many more wires (wide+close, like hbm). Or, you can make the wires *faster* and use less of them (narrow). Rambus, the creator of RDRAM, took the second bet. It was quite contrarian, but garnered some attention from Intel as well. The main issue, among others, is that RDRAM was expensive, AND high latency. For typical PC-style workloads, random access latency dominates, so it was a tough sell. Although the PS2 was a roaring success (high-bw streaming workloads made sense), it barely lasted ~3 years in the PC market. Like many ideas, Rambus+RDRAM was arguably just way, way too early. Today, CXL memory uses many of the same initial principles! If you think about a pin-efficient, high speed link, over longer distances…well, that’s kinda just CXL. Funnily enough, Rambus still exists, and is heavily involved in CXL memory controller IP these days!show more

90% of "AI developers" just download pre packaged GGUF... files from Hugging Face, hit run, and call it a day. The top 10% know how to pull the raw safetensors, run the math, and quantize massive models into Q4_K_M themselves. If you think llama.cpp can only execute models, you’re missing the best part of the open source ecosystem. It’s a high performance optimization suite. Manually stripping 69% of the VRAM footprint off a brand new model architecture is where real infrastructure value is made. If you want to actually master local inference and deploy models like Google’s massive Gemma 4 12B it on consumer NVIDIA hardware using llama.cpp, you need to learn this pipeline. Let's build it. I just took the raw 22.7 GB Gemma 4 baseline and manually compressed it down to a 7.02 GB Q4_K_M GGUF artifact using llama.cpp. That is a 69% reduction in footprint. No quality loss. No VRAM bottlenecks. Just native, hardware accelerated C++ inference running a full 2,50,000 token context window on a dual NVIDIA Tesla T4 setup. Stop melting your VRAM on unoptimized weights and stop relying on other people's pipelines. Own your stack. I mapped this entire architecture from dynamic binary fetching to raw quantization and real time GPU streaming into a single, bulletproof notebook. Notebook link is in the comments below. Bookmark this blueprint for your next deployment and tell me which quantization works best for your workflow and model.show more

The "I don't have enough VRAM" excuse just died.... I’m running Meta’s new 30B Muse Glimmer Q6_K_XL with a massive 130k context window on just 26GB VRAM FREE compute on Kaggle. Kaggle provides you free 2x Nvidia T4 GPUs. 30 hours usage each week! Yesterday, I showed you the violent throughput of Muse Glimmer on a single RTX 4090. Today, we are securing a Dual NVIDIA T4 GPU cluster with 32GB of total VRAM for exactly $0 and dropping the massive 24.5GB Q6_K_XL GGUF onto it. Here is the exact Kaggle workflow and benchmarking breakdown: # 1. The Storage Bypass & Setup I built a clean cell by cell script in the file. We dynamically fetch the CUDA accelerated llama.cpp binaries and use wget to stream the model directly into Kaggle's /kaggle/tmp scratch storage, which cleanly bypasses their 19.5GB output directory limit. # 2. The Multi GPU Performance With the -ngl 99 flag offloading all model layers across both T4 GPUs (32GB VRAM combined), we pushed a massive 131,072 token context window (-c 131072). The benchmark numbers: Prefill: 265.9 t/s Decode: 9.0 t/s VRAM Total: 26.5 GB # 3. The Architecture Insight The Q6_K_XL model itself is 24.5 GB. Because of Muse Glimmer's aggressive 16:1 GQA, the unquantized KV cache for a massive 130k context window only takes up 2 GB of memory. No heavily degraded Q4 KV quantization required. It just works. No compiling from source. No credit card. No OOM crashes. Zero excuses. If you’re running a single RTX 3090, 4090, or 5090, you need to experience this hyper efficient KV cache right now before the upcoming Qwen 3.8 27B drop completely steals your VRAM tomorrow. pick the Q4 or Q5 quants for 24 GB VRAM rigs. I'm dropping the Unsloth huggingface GGUF links and the free Kaggle notebook link in the replies. spin up your own instance, and show me your multi GPU benchmarks.show more

WHY THE $KOSPI KEEPS CRASHING. 🚨 Five things are... driving the violence. 1. It runs on retail: quick flip mentality turns every dip into a crash and every bounce into a spike. 2. Samsung and SK Hynix alone are nearly half the entire index. Two stocks move the whole country. 3. Margin debt hit a record 38 trillion won. Leveraged ETFs on Samsung and SK Hynix double every move, forcing faster selling. 4. The won is a local currency, not a global reserve. Foreign selloffs hit harder with less support. 5. SK Hynix just passed Samsung as Korea's most valuable company. Elevated volatility is here to stay for all markets.show more

you're paying $20/mo for something your $500 GPU can... already do. Gemma 4 26B A4B QAT MoE + Hermes Agent running on a single RTX 4060 (8GB VRAM). Built a vision capable, 100% free, 100% local, private AI assistant that lives in my Chrome browser. No API keys. No cloud. No subscriptions. 100% vibe coded. 0% handholding. It has full context of whatever's on my screen can answer questions, summarize pages, extract data, and see images. Same local model handles everything, no external calls, ever. keep reading for the model and hermes agent tips i learnt while building this locally. Here's the exact setup for anyone running local LLMs on 6-8 GB VRAM: llama.cpp server flags (on my NVIDIA RTX 4060 8gb VRAM): -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0 -c 150000 --port 8080 Throughput with quantization: Prefill: 200-250 tokens/sec Decode: 20-25 tokens/sec reduce context if oom on 6 gb vram card. Key learnings: - Quantize KV cache to q8 for faster prefill/decode. Prefill goes from 100-150 (unquantized) to 200-250 tok/s (q8). - But watch out, once actual context grows past ~50k tokens on high entropy workloads, q8 KV quantization can cause hallucinations. Low entropy workloads are mostly unaffected. If you see it happening, drop the quantization. This is common across all local models. - In Hermes Agent settings -> Memory & Context, bump compression threshold from default 0.5 to 0.7. Default triggers way too frequent context compression and eats time. Up next: add persistent memory, web search, tool calling, streaming output and whatever you suggest. Running a 26B MoE with vision + 150k context window on 8GB VRAM would've sounded impossible 6 months ago. Works the same on the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, 3070, 4060 Ti, 5060, 2080, or any 8GB card. VRAM is the only requirement. Local AI agents are closer than people think. You just need to know where the knobs are. Model's Unsloth quant hugging face link in the comments.

Each week I do two back to back long... runs. I’m in the THICK of training for my next 100miler. This week, the 2 back-to-back runs equaled nearly 12hrs of running, 5:45hrs Tuesday and 6hrs Wednesday. I was in Phoenix for Thanksgiving with family so I was able to run in the desert /warm conditions just east of the city - good training for my HURT 100miler in January (on Oahu). Also very technical! Back to back long runs allow me to do two hard endurance efforts on consecutive days without the same body fatigue/impact I’d get from just doing a single day 12hr run. First 2 pics are from Day 1 run, second 2 (pic/video) from day 2. Was definitely tired by the end of day 2. But felt good most the run. Need to dial in my calories better. Had to carry all my water for nearly 6hrs for day 1. Very heavy pack (13 pounds in a Salomon 12L). Day 2 had a water refill halfway through, still good amount of weight carried, but way less than day 1 (took 48oz + calories).show more

AI will kill Polymarket. $2.2M in 2 months using... probability models. This news is going to blow up the internet. Polymarket trader made $2.2M in just 2 months using AI. His account is traded entirely by a bot. I’ve heard plenty of stories about AI trading bots before, and almost all of them turned out to be scams or didn’t work properly. But this case is different and honestly I’m shocked. He uses AI probability models, training machine learning to estimate real odds based on news and social media data. If his model says an outcome has a 60% chance, while the market prices it at 50% (50¢), he buys because the market is mispricing it. According to his profile: > His prediction accuracy is 74%.
