I stumbled upon your profile by accident.

I'm wondering how you add so many parameters to these models—is it a lot of fine-tuning?

My DGX Spark is supposed to arrive soon, and I'm really looking forward to seeing if the model is significantly better.

@lordfervi ive been going at this for 2 years now, its pretty complicated and I still work on perfecting it. do you want me to make you one? feedback is super welcome. enjoy.

@LLMWildling
Let's just say this, we'll stay in touch :)

People usually do various types of model optimization. Your models look like they do some fine-tuning.

I'm afraid we'll reach a point where you'll have enterprise models in the cloud (OpenAI, Claude), some large open-source models (like DeepSeek), but not for consumers (too expensive), you'll have small models (like Gemma), but very few mid-tier models (like Mistral Small 4, GPT-OSS, etc.).

If it's possible to "easily" improve AI models, I think it's revolutionary.

I accidentally found your profile and see that you've made a lot of models much larger. I'm wondering if it works correctly and so on.

Unfortunately, I don't have the DGX Spark for now (I hope I'll have it next week). I'll let you know when I can test it.

Maybe in the future you'll manage to slightly (even not significantly) tune Mistral Small 4 ;)

I just checked my pipeline and but pretty sure it's pre/post training, the full run. I use my own optimizer to speed things up.

"If it's possible to "easily" improve AI models, I think it's revolutionary." - thats the idea, but things take time to perfect. so any feedback from this community is welcome, I have a lot more coming.

Mistral Small 4 - do you want a bigger version? @lordfevi

@LLMWildling

That's interesting.

I don't need it right now, but once I get the machine, I'll test the current models :)

It's just that what you're doing is interesting, and that's why I'm asking :)

@LLMWildling

I have a DGX Spark for testing.

I have an alternative question. Can you try creating powerful models on DiffusionGemma?

It’s Gemma 4, which works on the principle of diffusion. In short—it’s worse (in benchmarks), but much faster. It’s more of a demo, really.

I’ll be checking out your models, but the DGX Spark is very slow over Wi-Fi.

@lordfervi its possible it depends on if there is support in transformers for it. its possible. Currently I am stuck in quantization hell, im loosing accuracy going from bf16 to mxfp4/nvfp4 . im trying to fix that first and I can take a look at it.

I just had a ok run with nvfp4. let me see what I can do @lordfevi
