I didn't expect DeepSeek v4 PRO (not Flash) to run well on the Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 512GB of RAM. This is 2 bit quantized with the same DwarfStar recipe used for Flash. 433GB GGUF file. 130 t/s prefill, 13 t/s generation. Prefill in the video is low because small prompt.

Where there's a will, there's a way 😎 DwarfStar DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 mxfp4 on M3 Ultra single request no MPT/DSpark ~41 toks/s decode!!! 🚀 40 tps barrier broken! Same logits, 100% same result: this is The Mandatory Rule for any agents improving kernels that I think everyone should follow. Speed without mathematical precision is useless. Thanks 20% Opus 5 and 80% Kimi.ai K3 (what a model!) And just looking at the thinking trace of K3 you can learn tons of stuff! Here usually I have a separate chat with K3 and when I see something I want to dig deeper or ask about from the main thinking trace I do and in some cases I stop the experiment and pivot immediately to something else. Now let's see if I can apply learned lessons to the M5 kernel! 🚀 Branch for any braves soul willing to test it:

Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 (Q2) - 12 tokens/sec - Single RTX 4090 - 650+ tokens/sec prefill - 250k context - no kv cache quantization! DeepSeek just dropped the official V4 Flash 0731 two days ago with a massive agent capabilities upgrade. The official benchmarks are literally crushing their own V4-Pro-Preview on agentic tasks like Terminal Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE. Unsloth AI said they couldn't wait to bring it to local devices, and they delivered. If you thought my 118B Poolside Laguna S 2.1 MoE run last week on a single GPU was wild, hold onto your hardware. I just successfully ran Unsloth’s brand new 91GB DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (UD-IQ2_M) GGUF entirely locally. And I pushed it to a mind-bending 250,000 context window. The VRAM ceiling is an illusion if you know how to optimize llama.cpp. Here are the benchmarks and the cheat codes to run a local frontier class model yourself. For the hardware and setup, I used a single NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) hooked up via a PCIe 4 bus, running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and CUDA 13.0. You don't need a massive enterprise server for this, if you have more than 80 GB of standard DDR4 RAM and a 24GB card like an RTX 3090 or 4090, you can run this exact stack yourself. All benchmarks were run using a massive 28k token prompt to truly stress test the prefill limits. no kv cache quantization THE BENCHMARKS (Scaling Context): # 80k Context (Baseline: -b 2048 -ub 2048): Prefill: 465.43 t/s | Decode: 13.00 t/s | VRAM: 22.87 GB # 80k Context (Optimized: -b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 643.15 t/s | Decode: 12.20 t/s | VRAM: 23.00 GB (Notice how doubling the batch flags spiked my prefill throughput by nearly 200 t/s with almost zero VRAM penalty) # 180k Context (-b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 629.18 t/s | Decode: 11.92 t/s | VRAM: 23.40 GB # 250k Context MAXIMUM (-b 4096 -ub 4096): Prefill: 619.02 t/s | Decode: 11.54 t/s | VRAM: 23.40 GB # THE SECRET SAUCE (Why this works): Unsloth’s UD-IQ2_M quant is ~91GB across 3 files. Since I only have 24GB of VRAM, the PCIe 4 bus and system RAM have to do the heavy lifting. The magic bullet is the --no-mmap flag. By completely bypassing OS disk paging, I forced llama.cpp to load the massive model weights directly into the system RAM upfront. Combined with Flash Attention (-fa on) and exactly 12 CPU threads (--threads 12), I maintained an incredibly stable 11.5+ tokens/sec decode speed even at a quarter million token context. # THE EXACT COMMAND: ./build/bin/llama-server -m /workspace/models/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-UD-IQ2_M-00001-of-00003.gguf -c 250000 -fa on --port 8080 --threads 12 -b 4096 -ub 4096 --no-mmap -v Local conversational and agentic coding AI is fully here. You don’t need an API or an H100 cluster. Qwen 3.8 27b drops next week making the 24GB VRAM tier even more worthwhile. What does your current local AI rig look like, and what's the craziest model you've managed to squeeze into it? Official huggingface GGUF links from Unsloth and performance graphs are dropped in the replies below!

Google's Gemma 4 26B A4B QAT hits 25+ tokens/sec and 320+ tokens/sec prefill on 8 GB VRAM (RTX 4060) + 16 GB RAM using TurboQuant Prefill just went from 200 → 320+ tok/s on the same 8GB card. 1.6x, no new hardware, no new quant, just a KV cache trick stacked on top of the Gemma 4 26B MoE setup from a few days ago. A few days ago I posted Gemma 4 26B A4B hitting 28 tok/s decode on 8GB VRAM using native MTP. prefill was stuck around 200 tok/s. fair callout by the community. So today I tested something I'd already been meaning to try: TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant, the TurboQuant KV cache fork by Tom Turney (Tom Turney). (github link in the comments) thanks to him, the fork just got resynced to mainline, so MTP + TurboQuant now run together cleanly (I didnt see any meaningful gains by using MTP with this setup though but you can try). The flags (No MTP): -m gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -cnv -c 64000 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 Results on the same RTX 4060 8GB, tested with a 27k token prompt at 64k context loaded: Prefill: 200 tok/s → 320+ tok/s Decode: stayed above 25 tok/s (without MTP) Why it works: TurboQuant uses walsh hadamard rotation + polar quantization on the KV cache. keys are sensitive to compression, values aren't much, so it splits the difference: K stays at q8_0, V drops to turbo3 (~3 bits). bonus from the memory savings: same 8GB card can now stretch to 100-120k context with minimal decode penalty. It should now be snappier with any agent harness such as hermes agent without compromise on intelligence. If you're already running Gemma 4 on a small card, this stacks on top for free. Try --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v turbo3 on your setup and report back what your prefill/decode split looks like. unsloth model gguf and llama.cpp turboquant fork links in the comments. what's your prefill number before vs after?

DFlash makes Qwen 2.2x faster with no quality loss! We ran the same Qwen3.6-27B locally three ways on one RTX 6000: baseline, MTP, DFlash. The tasks only differ in one thing - how predictable the next word is: quicksort, describe a file in JSON, a logic puzzle, a sci-fi story. Outputs: Baseline: 44 tok/s · 1.00x MTP: 65 tok/s · 1.45x · 71% accepted DFlash: 98 tok/s · 2.20x · 30% accepted Baseline writes one token per step. MTP works inside the model itself and guesses 3 tokens ahead. DFlash is a separate small model that writes 15 tokens at once, and the big model only checks them. In JSON the same words repeat all the time, so most guesses were right: 152 tok/s, 3.4x speedup. In the story 9 guesses out of 10 were wrong. DFlash did all that extra work for nothing and became slower than baseline: 42 vs 44 tok/s. MTP guesses only 3 tokens, so a wrong guess costs very little: 46 tok/s and the win in that round. The output is identical in all three modes - DFlash is the pick for tasks with predictable output, like coding, and for chat and creative writing MTP works better. DFlash is now natively integrated into Atomic Chat on llama.cpp - speed up your Qwen models!

hy3 vs mimo-v2.5 vs deepseek v4 flash vs minimax m3 the four models on top of the openrouter leaderboard by tokens this week: #1 hy3 (Tencent Hy) – 7.5t #2 mimo-v2.5 (Xiaomi MiMo) – 6.56t #3 deepseek v4 flash (DeepSeek) – 5.24t #4 minimax m3 (MiniMax (official)) – 4.21t so we tested them. 3 prompts, single-file html, Three.js from a cdn, fully procedural, no external assets. all run via AI/ML API each prompt is a transparent cutaway machine that has to be mechanically correct, not decorative: • 4-stroke engine with full oil circulation – slider-crank kinematics, cam at 2:1, valve lift driven by lobes, oil loop from sump to gallery to big-end • watt walking-beam steam engine – four-bar vector-loop closure, eccentric-driven slide valve, steam events synced to real port position • francis reaction water turbine – 20 guide vanes on a regulating ring, 17 lofted runner blades, gpu particle advection, precessing vortex rope at part load the takeaway up front: none of the four cleared all three scenes on the first attempt. but the price spread between them is roughly 70x – hy3 fixed included costs less than two cents overall results (summed across all 3 scenes): cost #1 hy3 – $0.016 #2 deepseek v4 flash – $0.025 #3 mimo-v2.5 – $0.97 #4 minimax m3 – $1.17 tokens #1 hy3 – 19,326 #2 deepseek v4 flash – 63,126 #3 mimo-v2.5 – 322,523 #4 minimax m3 – 702,900 lines of code #1 hy3 – 1,047 #2 mimo-v2.5 – 2,759 #3 deepseek v4 flash – 3,273 #4 minimax m3 – 3,354 scenes needing a second attempt #1 hy3 – 1 (engine) #1 mimo-v2.5 – 1 (turbine) #1 minimax m3 – 1 (turbine) #4 deepseek v4 flash – 2 (steam engine, turbine) observations: 1. the token spread is the real story – minimax burns 36x hy3's tokens and lands in the same place, one retry, ~3.3k lines 2. hy3 is the outlier on density: 1,047 lines total, fewest tokens, cheapest run, and only one scene needed a second pass. deepseek is the opposite trade – near-hy3 pricing but the most retries 3. mimo and minimax seem to overthink instead of writing the code. minimax spent 359.1k tokens on the steam engine and produced 1,346 lines – the tokens are going somewhere other than the file 4. the francis turbine broke three of the four. the spec that separates them is the one with 20 linked guide vanes and gpu particle advection, not the one with the most parts overall impression: none of these models excelled at any of the tasks we gave them. but they were close, and they were extremely cheap. the gap that matters isn't quality anymore – it's that hy3 ran all three scenes for less than two cents while the frontier labs charge dollars for the same work right now you pick these because they're good for the zero price you pay. soon that's something openai and anthropic will have to think about follow thehype. for 24/7 ai news, analysis and breakdowns

Pi Agent vs OpenCode token usage A lot of people recommended Pi Agent so I decided to check Pi Agent took 1.1k tokens in first turn OpenCode took 11.5k Setup: 1) Trimmed OpenCode (from usual 30k first turn to 11.5k) - 0 MCPs - 2 lightweight plugins (opencode-env-protect and openslimedit) - 8k char AGENTS.md - 11585 deepseek-v4-flash input tokens - for $0.0016 2) Vanilla Pi - 0 MCPs - 0 system prompt - 8k char AGENTS.md - 1114 kimi-k2.6 input tokens - for $0.0008 I think using better models with capped tokens per turn can keep usage nearly the same as uncontrolled DeepSeek V4 Flash? The challenge now is finding the sweet spot. Can't cap tokens if quality drops. We'll see. Video below - OpenCode vs Pi side by side "say hi back" first turns test, with OpenCode Go usage for each

Anthropic Engineer: “the biggest mistake in AI right now is people are building graphs and loops without a self-improving eval agent. we made that mistake at anthropic. it cost us two years.” here’s how they built what solved it: step 1 → take 50 real user prompts and run your agent. if it passes 80%+, your eval is too easy. the sweet spot is around 50%. step 2 → every failed run becomes a transcript. feed it to haiku: “what went wrong?” your eval set keeps growing on its own. step 3 → score two things: the right answer and the right path. a right answer with the wrong path will break later. step 4 → when a new model drops, run the same eval again. one model looked 9% better. but 6% of that gain came from hiding a bug. the transcript caught it. the dashboard didn’t. step 5 → plug your evals into ci. no green evals = no deploy. that’s how the system keeps improving itself. 99% of people never build this. but it pays for itself on day one. save this and build it today.

Every big MoE model I test on my 3090 is basically to see how good it is compared to Qwen3.6-27B. "How good is it compared to Qwen3.6-27B?" is the question I get asked the most, and that shows how much people love and, more importantly, trust the 27B 27B is battle tested. It has proven its worth and has nothing left to prove. Now it just needs to make way for the next 27B. Here’s an example video: a Three.js task, same prompt, not oneshot but two shots for all models. All ran on my 3090 + 64GB VRAM Qwen-3.6-27b fully on vram while others have experts offloaded to system ram. Pinned on the left: Qwen3.6-27B-Q5 On the right, i'm switching between Inkling-Small-Q4_K_M DSV4-Flash-0731-UD-IQ1 Ling-3.0-Flash-Q4_K_M Qwen3.6-27B nailed it. The effects and visuals are just spot on.The other models got some things right, but not everything. Second place would have to go to Inkling-Small while DSV4-Flash-0731 and Ling-3.0-Flash failed to capture the full requirements. This is also why we’re all excited for Qwen Qwen3.8-27B!

🇵🇱🇩🇪 A man moves from Germany to Poland and is shocked by how clean the streets are "I’ve been living here for two weeks now. I haven’t seen a single piece of trash on the streets. Not literal trash… and not trash in human form either, if you know what I mean. [...] It’s crazy because it could easily be the same in Germany, but it isn’t. Germany isn’t allowed to be proud of its country anymore and to say no to illegal immigrants."

"I hope that pop-pop is the last noise that some Zionists hear in their lifetime!" "Every single (Jewish) organization on that list is a legitimate target" "We will find them wherever they are" Activists like Nerdeen Kiswani (leader of Within Our Lifetime) have been calling to kill Zionists for years, chanting for "Intifada" in the streets, and using antisemitic tropes to demonize Jews who support Israel. Now we are witnessing the results of her actions.

Here is: A Muslim woman issues a warning to every single American: The very terrorists she fled from in Egypt are now leading protests right here in on American soil. They are members of the Muslim Brotherhood. “It’s like déjà vu for me: everything is happening, but now in the United States.” “I came here expecting that I had left the bad guys behind. But unfortunately, what I found here is that the bad guys are already here, and they include many of the people I knew 15 or 20 years ago, when I was an undergraduate student. Now they are leading the protests happening all over the country. I know they are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, although many of them deny it. They even organized the protestors in the same manner as they did back then—15 or 20 years ago—the same way of mobilization, the same flags, the same narrative, even the same reliance on Al Jazeera footage and news stories. It’s like déjà vu for me: everything is happening, but now in the United States. That’s why I’m here today, hoping that we can find a way to prevent what happened in my home country, Egypt, from happening here in the United States.”

I'm running Llama 4 Maverick at 620 t/s! I'm living in the future! Honestly, a large language model running this fast is something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Speeds like this will enable a whole new world of applications that aren't possible today. For reference, GPT-4o, which is probably the most popular OpenAI model, runs between 60 and 110 t/s. The secret here: I'm not running AI at Meta's Llama 4 Maverick on a GPU. I'm using the SambaNova Cloud (my sponsor) and their custom SN40L chips. They are optimized from the ground up for running AI workflows. Right now, SambaNova Cloud runs DeepSeek, Qwen, Whisper, and the entire family of Llama models on these chips. You can check the speed of each of these models using SambaNova Cloud's Playground (see the attached video). It's completely free, and that's how I'm measuring their speeds. For example, I also tried DeepSeek R1 (the latest version from May) and, oh boy! DeepSeek R1 is a huge 671B parameter model. It's probably the best open reasoning model in the world, and it runs at 140 tokens per second! !!! Inference time on an SN40L is night and day from what you'll get from a GPU. Here is why this is big: If you are running an agentic workflow that uses multiple models simultaneously on a GPU, it will need to swap models in and out of memory (because not every model fits). A single SNL40 chip can simultaneously hold over 100 models (trillions of parameters) in memory. If you are using open models, try the SambaCloud API to see what lightning speed looks like. Here is how: 1. Create a free account at: 2. Check the QuickStart guide: If you try the playground, check the speed you're getting with Llama 4 and DeepSeek, and post the results below. I've seen much higher numbers than I posted here, so I'm curious to see whether geography affects the speed.

I watched this video and cried—a cry of release, of catharsis, of love for the broken road to get here. Allie Ostrander created a 10-minute documentary on the Leadville 100 course record, live now. I am so in awe of her art and storytelling, and I’m so thankful for her friendship. 20 years from now, her video is how I want to remember this experience. In April, I was hit by a car while biking. My brain didn’t feel like my own for months after. But something happened in that accident that helped me run freely on those trails. Allie captured it in a way that I didn’t fully process until those tears started flowing. The crux of Leadville is Hope Pass. When I was in the depths post accident, that name felt appropriate. All I wanted to do was climb out of that hole. And I did. Here’s to Hope 🧡🧡🧡 Watch the full video and subscribe to Allie's channel here:

Here is the difference between X and Tiktok. I posted the same video on both platforms calling out the terrible things the LAFD assistant chief said and I said she shouldn't be in that position! On Tiktok, it got up to 1.7 million views before likely some woke employee took the video down and gave my account a strike. On X, Elon Musk (the OWNER of the platform) quote tweeted my post and said, "Yes" and now my post has like 9 million views. These platforms are not the same. Glad to have the freedom on this platform to say the necessary things.
