Biologists use specialized open-source models for tasks like modeling... the structure of molecular systems, designing drug-like molecules, and predicting the effects of genetic mutations. But these models are often expensive to run, potentially limiting their impact. In our latest Science Blog, we share how Claude was able to optimize inference for more than 30 open-source models, making them 4x faster on average, partly by writing custom software for GPUs. We’re open sourcing all of the optimization code. Read more:show more

Turn any open LLM into a Jev-style model: Researchers... just open-sourced AnyJev, a Python library that extracts typed choices, yes/no judgments, scores, and probabilities from causal LLMs. Beyond its raw baseline, AnyJev offers three levels depending on how much labeled data and calibration you need: - L0 requires no labels. It rotates the answer options to reduce position bias, but its probabilities remain uncalibrated. - L1 uses 100-500 labeled examples per question to calibrate those probabilities through temperature scaling. It improves confidence estimates without changing the answer ranking. - L2 uses 100-300 labels to fit a closed-form head on an intermediate hidden state. It leaves model weights untouched and can stop inference before the full forward pass completes. The main constraint is model access. AnyJev requires access to logits or hidden states, so it is built for open models. L2 heads are also specific to a model and question. It is compatible with several open causal LLMs. Repo: (don't forget to star it ⭐ ) If you want to dive deeper, I also wrote about a similar mechanism in a hands-on guide. It covers building a Jev-style decision path with open models, entirely locally. Read it below.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

Our open-source RAG app, Verba, can now run Ollama... models locally to embed documents into Weaviate and generate answers without your data leaving your device! I tested it with Llama3, and it works great + super quickly on my M2; In this recording, I'm doing a little Verba-ception, asking Verba what Verba is 🤤 You can also use open-source models like Mistral, Claude, or your own custom LLMs. This will make doing RAG with sensitive data possible since you won't depend on APIs anymore. Looking forward to everyone trying it out 🤗 Update's coming next week!show more

Introducing: OpenGranola 🔥 I built an open source meeting... copilot for macOS. It transcribes both sides of your call on-device, searches your own notes in real time, and hands you talking points right when the conversation needs them. No audio leaves your Mac. Point it at a folder of markdown files, pick any LLM through OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama), and it just works. It's invisible to screen share too — nobody knows you have it. The whole thing is open source. Link belowshow more

You don't need a GPU for fast studio grade... voice cloning anymore. Qwen3 TTS (1.7B Q4_K_M) + mainline llama.cpp is officially the fastest way to generate zero shot voice clones using 100% pure CPU execution. Following up on my last post where we ran the Q8 model on a GPU, we just took local C++ voice synthesis a massive step further. The open source community quantized Alibaba's SOTA Qwen3 TTS model down to Q4_K_M GGUF, completely freeing local audio pipelines from dedicated graphics hardware. Here is the real world benchmark and hardware breakdown of running SOTA voice cloning on CPU: # Architecture & Model Setup Using Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base-Q4_K_M.gguf paired with the 8 bit multimodal projector (mmproj-Q8_0.gguf), llama.cpp executes the entire pipeline in pure C++. No PyTorch, no CUDA dependencies, and no VRAM bottlenecks. # Real-World Memory Footprint - Baseline RAM: 1.6 GB system idle. - Peak Generation RAM: 8 GB RAM during active voice synthesis. - Requirement: Any basic machine with at least 8 GB of system RAM can run this easily. # Real World CPU Benchmarks - Google Colab Free Tier (Throttled 2 Core CPU): Synthesizes a 5 sec studio quality audio clip (~8 words) in 45 seconds. - Modern Consumer CPU (Intel i5/i7 13th/14th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7000/9000): generation should drop to 5 to 20 seconds (nearly 1:1 real-time generation speed!). # Zero Shot Voice Cloning Quality Pass any 5 to 20 second .wav audio sample to the C++ engine using the --tts-speaker-file flag. It yields clean, natural sounding cloned speech with virtually zero quality loss compared to unquantized FP16 weights. To make testing seamless, I built an updated zero config Google Colab notebook. It pulls the official pre built llama.cpp CPU binaries (zero compilation time!) launches a live Gradio web app right in your browser. Record a 5 second clip from your mic (or drop a .mp3, .wav file), type text, and generate cloned audio on CPU. Native C++ audio models are making edge based, offline AI voice agents a reality.
