Good TTS Programs | 3 | I like to write out story ideas using KoboldCPP, but I’d like to find a TTS program that I can use to paste these stories in and add different voices for each character.
I found EaseText, but I hate programs that require a subscription and don’t allow you to just purchase it outright. Plus the built-in voices all sound extremely wooden.
Are there any other good offline TTS programs that anyone can recommend? Ideally featuring a way to export as an MP3, but that is more of a bonus than a requirement. | 2026-02-22T08:58:32 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbh1mc/good_tts_programs/ | Mr_Chr15topher | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rbh1mc | false | null | t3_1rbh1mc | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbh1mc/good_tts_programs/ | false | false | self | 3 | null |
What LLM to use on my MAC STUDIO with 256GB of RAM and M3 ULTRA CHIP | 1 | Hello, i just bought the Mac studio with 256GB of RAM. I want to run openclaw and a locall LLM model, wich one would be the best for tasks as a manager, finidng things booking things, searching for things. Which local LLM would you recommend for this kind of “manager / personal assistant” workflow, especially considering I have plenty of RAM and want good reasoning and tool-use capabilities? | 2026-02-22T08:56:29 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbh0cp/what_llm_to_use_on_my_mac_studio_with_256gb_of/ | Hour-Principle8888 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rbh0cp | false | null | t3_1rbh0cp | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbh0cp/what_llm_to_use_on_my_mac_studio_with_256gb_of/ | false | false | self | 1 | null |
The power of the sun in the palm of your hand ( Locally running Qwen 3 TTS model : LocalEcho ) | 1 | “I am not running on the clouds… I am running locally on your computer.”
This project actually started while I was building a **streaming agent audio call service**. I needed low-latency TTS that I could fully control — no API limits, no external calls, no sending voice data to someone else’s servers.
That’s how **LocalEcho** was born.
It’s a small open-source project that lets you run Qwen 3 TTS completely locally. Everything happens on your machine — no API keys, no cloud dependency, no hidden usage costs.
It currently supports:
* 🎙 Custom Voice — choose from 9 high-quality preset speakers for quick narration
* ✏️ Voice Design — describe a voice in plain English and generate it
* 🔬 Voice Cloning — record 5–10 seconds of a voice and clone it locally
Minimum requirement right now is **8GB RAM** for a smooth experience with Qwen 3 TTS.
It’s not tied to one specific environment. The idea was to make it practical across common dev setups:
* 🍎 **Mac (Apple Silicon)** — runs using MLX with Metal GPU acceleration. Fully supported.
* 🐧 **Linux (NVIDIA GPU)** — PyTorch + CUDA. Fully supported.
* 🪟 **Windows (NVIDIA GPU)** — PyTorch + CUDA. Fully supported.
* 💻 **CPU-only** — Works with PyTorch, but it’s slow. Good for testing, not ideal for real usage.
If that doesn’t fit your setup, the project is structured so you can swap in other open-source TTS models with lighter requirements. The goal is flexibility, not locking into one model.
This isn’t a SaaS or wrapper around someone else’s API. It’s more of a practical local GenAI toolkit — useful if you're:
* building voice-enabled agents
* experimenting with offline AI systems
* working on indie games or narration tools
* or just curious how modern TTS pipelines work under the hood
Would genuinely appreciate feedback — especially around performance on different machines, latency for streaming use cases, and model alternatives people are experimenting with.
My first post ever on reddit. Let me know if any feedbacks.

dyslexia and ADHD in the coding community | 56 | This is my third post on my first Reddit account. Here's why that took so long.
I have dyslexia and ADHD. I've been lurking in communities like this one for years -- reading everything, learning everything -- but never posting. Not because I had nothing to contribute. Because I was scared of what would happen when people saw how I write.
People with dyslexia and ADHD don't write the way the internet expects. The spelling is off. The punctuation is wrong. The sentences don't flow right. And the internet has never been kind about that. We get called stupid. We get told our ideas don't matter because the package they came in looked messy. So we lurk. We learn. We do real work quietly and never share it because the cost of being mocked is too high.
I use AI to help me write. Not to generate ideas -- the ideas are mine. Not to do the work -- I did the work. To help me communicate in a way that doesn't get me dismissed before anyone reads what I actually built.
Yesterday I shipped the first working GGUF quantization of Ouro -- ByteDance's recurrent thinking model. I figured out the tensor mapping, the layer norm mismatch, the early exit gate skip. That was me. And the first thing someone did was question whether I was human.
I'm posting this because I know I'm not the only one. There are people in this community right now with real knowledge, real skills, real contributions -- who won't post because they're afraid of exactly what happened to me today.
You belong here. Your ideas belong here. How you write doesn't determine what you know.
This was my first post.

Fine-Tuning Qwen 4B for Niche Code Generation: Need Tips on Configs, Overfitting & Small Datasets? | 6 | So am working on my thesis project which involves fine-tuning a small language model for a specific code generation task in a niche domain (Typescript)
I'm leaning toward the Qwen family of models. I started by fine-tuning the 8B version, but it didn't feel like a true SLM in terms of consumer-hardware-efficiency and size, so I'm downgrading to the 4B variant for better adherence to SLM part.
My main concern is my dataset: It's high-quality but small, with only 700-800 `{prompt,completion}` pairs. Some pairs are distilled from larger LLMs, while others come from real code snippets paired with synthetically generated prompts. The data is straightforward (no chain-of-thought reasoning) but it includes potential noise: like non-code elements in code files (placeholders, plain text, or image paths). I want to train the model effectively so it performs well on my use case without picking up this noise or overfitting to the limited examples
For context I'm currently training on Google Colab with an A100 GPU. Here's the configuration I'm using, based on recommendations from Reddit threads and Unsloth docs:

train_dataset=train_dataset_formatted,
eval_dataset=val_dataset_formatted,
)
# Using Unsloth's gradient accumulation fix
from unsloth import unsloth_train
trainer_stats = unsloth_train(trainer)
I'm fairly new to fine-tuning (about 60% VibeCoding; 40% reading docs) and the results so far aren't great. The model underperforms on my tasks - The 8B one.
So I'm reaching out to folks who've worked with Qwen models: What configs have worked well for you, especially for small datasets and code generation? Any tips on preventing overfitting? Are there must-read docs or guides to get started properly?

Working Dual-Backend Setup: Strix Halo iGPU (Vulkan) + NVIDIA eGPU (CUDA) — Vision work around. When we got it figured out Claude thought this was a good place where it might help someone. | 2 | **TL;DR:** If you have a Ryzen AI Max+ (Strix Halo, gfx1151) with an NVIDIA eGPU, you can run big MoE text models on the iGPU via Vulkan AND working vision/OCR models on the NVIDIA GPU via CUDA — simultaneously, fully isolated. The trick is two separate backends (Ollama + llama.cpp via llama-swap) with specific environment variables. This was worked out through trial and error by Claude (Anthropic's AI) and a very patient human over many hours of testing.
# The Problem
The AMD Radeon 8060S iGPU (gfx1151) in Strix Halo systems has well-documented compute corruption issues:
* **ROCm:** Produces garbage characters on text models, known bugs (ROCm/ROCm#5499, #5534, #5824, #5853)
* **Vulkan on iGPU:** Text models work. Vision/multimodal models crash or hallucinate.
What's NOT well-documented is that **Vulkan also breaks vision models on NVIDIA GPUs.** We discovered this with an RTX 3090 Ti connected via OCuLink:
* `qwen2.5vl:7b` on the 3090 Ti via **Vulkan** → Read a Home Depot receipt as a "Merrill Lynch check," invented dollar amounts, routing numbers, and dates that don't exist on the receipt. Coherent English, completely wrong content.
* `qwen2.5vl:7b` on the 3090 Ti via **CUDA** → Correctly read every field: store name, items, prices, tax, total. Perfect.
Same GPU, same model, same image. Vulkan corrupts the image data before it reaches the vision encoder. The language model works fine (produces coherent text), but it's "seeing" garbage pixels. **CUDA is the only backend that correctly handles vision model image input.**
# The Core Conflict
Ollama can't mix CUDA and Vulkan in one instance:
|Config|What Happens|
|:-|:-|
|`OLLAMA_VULKAN=1`, CUDA visible|Both GPUs become Vulkan devices. 3090 = Vulkan1, iGPU = Vulkan0. No CUDA at all.|
|`OLLAMA_VULKAN=0` (default)|3090 = CUDA0, iGPU = ROCm0. ROCm produces garbage.|
|`OLLAMA_VULKAN=1`, `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1`|iGPU = Vulkan0 only. But 3090 still shows as Vulkan1 unless you also set `GGML_VK_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`.|
There's no way to get CUDA on the NVIDIA GPU and Vulkan on the iGPU in a single Ollama process.
# The Solution: Two Backends
Run two completely separate processes with different environment variables:
# Backend 1: Ollama (iGPU only, Vulkan, text models)
* Port 11434
* Big MoE models that need 96GB+ (GPT-OSS 120B, Llama 4 Scout text, etc.)
* Env vars isolate it to iGPU only
# Backend 2: llama.cpp server via llama-swap (3090 only, CUDA, vision models)
* Port 11435
* Vision/OCR models that need CUDA to process images correctly
* Uses a separate CUDA-compiled llama.cpp build
* llama-swap manages model loading/unloading
Both connect to Open WebUI (or any OpenAI-compatible frontend) as separate connections.
# Hardware Setup
|Component|Details|
|:-|:-|
|System|Minisforum MS-01 S1 Max|
|CPU|AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo)|
|RAM|128GB LPDDR5x-8000|
|iGPU|AMD Radeon 8060S (gfx1151, 96GB via Vulkan)|
|eGPU|NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti 24GB via OCuLink|
|OS|Windows 11|
|Ollama|0.16.3|
|llama.cpp|b8117|
The OCuLink eGPU is key — it gives you a reliable CUDA device alongside the iGPU. This should work with any NVIDIA GPU connected via OCuLink, Thunderbolt, or internal PCIe.
# Setup Guide
# Step 1: Get Two llama.cpp Builds
You need a **Vulkan build** (Ollama ships with one) and a **CUDA build** (download separately).
Download the CUDA build from llama.cpp releases matching your Ollama version:
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases
Get the [`llama-bXXXX-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip`](http://llama-bXXXX-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip) package.
Extract to a separate folder (e.g., `C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\`).
# Step 2: Copy CUDA Runtime DLLs
The CUDA build needs runtime DLLs. Ollama ships them:
cmd
copy "C:\Users\<YOU>\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\cuda_v12\cublas64_12.dll" "C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\"
copy "C:\Users\<YOU>\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\cuda_v12\cublasLt64_12.dll" "C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\"
copy "C:\Users\<YOU>\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\cuda_v12\cudart64_12.dll" "C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\"
Do NOT copy `ggml-cuda.dll` from Ollama — keep the one from the llama.cpp release.
Verify CUDA works:
cmd
C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\llama-server.exe --version
Should show: `ggml_cuda_init: found 1 CUDA devices: Device 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti`
# Step 3: Download Vision Model GGUFs
llama.cpp needs GGUF files + mmproj (vision projector) files. Download from Hugging Face:
For qwen2.5vl:7b:
* `Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf`
* `mmproj-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-f16.gguf`
Place them in a models folder (e.g., `C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\models\`).
# Step 4: Install llama-swap
powershell
winget install llama-swap
Create `config.yaml`:
yaml
models:
qwen2.5vl:7b:
cmd: C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\llama-cpp-cuda\llama-server.exe --port ${PORT} --model C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\models\Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf --mmproj C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\models\mmproj-Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct-f16.gguf -ngl 999 -c 16384 --jinja
ttl: -1
# Step 5: The Startup Script
This is the critical piece — environment variable isolation:
batch
u/echo off
:: Stop Ollama service if running
net stop Ollama 2>nul
:: Window 1: Ollama on iGPU ONLY (Vulkan, no CUDA, no 3090)
start "Ollama - iGPU Vulkan" cmd /k "set OLLAMA_VULKAN=1 && set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1 && set GGML_VK_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 && set OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1 && set OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434 && set OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=-1 && set OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0 && ollama serve"
:: Wait for Ollama to start
timeout /t 5 /nobreak >nul
:: Window 2: llama-swap on 3090 ONLY (CUDA, no Vulkan)
start "llama-swap - 3090 CUDA" cmd /k "set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 && llama-swap --config C:\ai-stack\llama-swap\config.yaml --listen :11435"
**Key environment variables explained:**
|Variable|Value|Why|
|:-|:-|:-|
|`OLLAMA_VULKAN=1`|Forces Vulkan backend for Ollama (avoids ROCm garbage)||
|`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1`|Hides 3090 from CUDA. But does NOT hide it from Vulkan.||
|`GGML_VK_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`|**THE MISSING PIECE.** Tells Vulkan to only use device 0 (iGPU). Without this, the 3090 still shows up as Vulkan1 and Ollama loads models onto it.||
|`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`|(llama-swap window) Ensures the 3090 is visible to CUDA. Empty string caused detection failure.||
# Step 6: Connect Open WebUI
Add llama-swap as a second connection:
* Settings → Connections → Add
* Type: OpenAI
* URL: [`http://host.docker.internal:11435/v1`](http://host.docker.internal:11435/v1) (if Open WebUI is in Docker)
* API Key: any dummy value
Vision models appear under the "External" tab. Ollama text models under "Local."
# What Works Where
# iGPU via Vulkan (Ollama, port 11434) — TEXT ONLY
✅ GPT-OSS 120B (87GB, 5.1B active MoE) — fast text reasoning ✅ Llama 4 Scout (67GB, 17B active MoE) — text only ✅ Llama 3.3 70B — general purpose ✅ Any large text model that fits in 96-111GB ❌ ANY vision/image model — Vulkan corrupts image data
# 3090 via CUDA (llama-swap, port 11435) — VISION + TEXT
✅ qwen2.5vl:7b (8GB Q8) — excellent receipt/document OCR ✅ qwen2.5vl:32b (20GB Q4) — higher accuracy vision ✅ Any vision model under 24GB ❌ Models over 24GB (3090 VRAM limit)
# What Does NOT Work (Don't Waste Your Time)
❌ ROCm on gfx1151 — garbage output, known compute corruption ❌ Vulkan vision on ANY GPU — corrupts image data, produces hallucinated content ❌ `ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1` on Windows — Ollama ignores it ❌ Mixed CUDA+Vulkan in single Ollama instance — impossible
# Verification
After starting the bat file, check the Ollama cmd window log. You should see:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES:-1
OLLAMA_VULKAN:true
...
Vulkan0 = AMD Radeon(TM) 8060S Graphics ← iGPU only, GOOD
You should NOT see `Vulkan1 = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti`. If you do, `GGML_VK_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0` isn't set.
Check 3090 isolation:
powershell
# Load an Ollama model, then check:
nvidia-smi
# Should show 0 MiB used — Ollama isn't touching the 3090
# Load a llama-swap vision model, then check:
nvidia-smi
# Should show the model loaded on the 3090
# Performance Notes
* Strix Halo iGPU via Vulkan: \~20-25 tok/s for Scout text (17B active), good for MoE models
* 3090 Ti via CUDA: Fast vision inference, receipts process in seconds
* llama-swap model swap time: \~20 seconds (loading from disk to VRAM)
* Set `ttl: -1` in llama-swap config to keep models loaded permanently
# Tested On
* Ollama 0.16.3
* llama.cpp b8117
* llama-swap (latest via winget, Feb 2026)
* AMD Driver: Adrenalin 25.8.1 WHQL
* NVIDIA Driver: 591.74, CUDA 13.1
* Windows 11
*This solution was developed through extensive trial-and-error testing by Claude (Anthropic) and a human collaborator. The critical discovery — that Vulkan corrupts vision model image input on both AMD AND NVIDIA GPUs — took hours of isolating variables to identify. We hope this saves someone else the pain.* | 2026-02-22T06:45:56 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbettn/working_dualbackend_setup_strix_halo_igpu_vulkan/ | yourbutthurtstoo | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rbettn | false | null | t3_1rbettn | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbettn/working_dualbackend_setup_strix_halo_igpu_vulkan/ | false | false | self | 2 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s', 'resolutions': [{'height': 54, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=72aa5dcc1cd8dbddd3f1a103959106b666940069', 'width': 108}, {'height': 108, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a4159f87f341337a34069632ee0d5b75fa4e7042', 'width': 216}, {'height': 160, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=b105a2c86f91fee19ce34c791a1b984348b68452', 'width': 320}, {'height': 320, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ae5173c455a88bb40bed1198799c0db65ff470d0', 'width': 640}, {'height': 480, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=d014791efbd4c8d05fd305a8b7842b029f22d83e', 'width': 960}, {'height': 540, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=9addd19259612948921416b6f5bf04bd5191f933', 'width': 1080}], 'source': {'height': 640, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/DJPqvteONpGwVVw6LzaG6b8vlDa2rv2hETCaqe0z57s.png?auto=webp&s=db9ea157807723165a59f5f8694d9a5016d60d0f', 'width': 1280}, 'variants': {}}]} |

LangGraph-based production-style RAG (Parent-Child retrieval, idempotent ingestion) — feedback on recursive loop control? | 2 | Built a production-style RAG backend using FastAPI + LangGraph.
Architecture highlights:
- Parent–Child retrieval:
Child chunks (768-dim embeddings) stored in Qdrant.
Parent documents stored separately in PostgreSQL (Supabase).
Retrieval returns child hits, then expands to full parent context.
- Idempotent ingestion:
Document hashing + metadata versioning to prevent duplicate chunk re-indexing.
- Recursive retrieval loop via LangGraph:
Node-based flow handles:
→ intent classification
→ optional PII masking
→ retrieval
→ circuit breaker before LLM call
Main question:
For recursive RAG loops, what termination criteria have worked best for you?
Currently evaluating:
- max graph depth
- token growth threshold
- retrieval confidence delta
- semantic similarity plateau
Trying to avoid infinite refinement loops without hurting answer quality.
Would appreciate feedback from people running local/production RAG systems. | 2026-02-22T05:51:27 | https://v.redd.it/qtda3q94jzkg1 | Lazy-Kangaroo-573 | v.redd.it | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rbdv2c | false | {'reddit_video': {'bitrate_kbps': 2400, 'dash_url': 'https://v.redd.it/qtda3q94jzkg1/DASHPlaylist.mpd?a=1774331509%2CY2QyZTJjYWMxYTA5MGEzODlkMjQ2ZWRiZTIyZTZhY2ZkMTc3MjNmZmE4YjEwZGEyMjA5Zjk1OWQ0YmFkYTlmMw%3D%3D&v=1&f=sd', 'duration': 21, 'fallback_url': 'https://v.redd.it/qtda3q94jzkg1/CMAF_720.mp4?source=fallback', 'has_audio': True, 'height': 720, 'hls_url': 'https://v.redd.it/qtda3q94jzkg1/HLSPlaylist.m3u8?a=1774331509%2CNDdiN2FhNGE1ZTdmMzM4YjEzMzJhM2VkOWNjMzcxMzBjNTM3MTI2NmRjZWE4OTQ1ZjQzZDk5MDU4ZTY1N2FiMA%3D%3D&v=1&f=sd', 'is_gif': False, 'scrubber_media_url': 'https://v.redd.it/qtda3q94jzkg1/CMAF_96.mp4', 'transcoding_status': 'completed', 'width': 1060}} | t3_1rbdv2c | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbdv2c/langgraphbased_productionstyle_rag_parentchild/ | false | false | 2 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc', 'resolutions': [{'height': 73, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc.png?width=108&crop=smart&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3237d18edd8f1da1cfe8daf75a26c989ecdaa47e', 'width': 108}, {'height': 146, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc.png?width=216&crop=smart&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=445360e48b869bc976a410239cf897afce17cda9', 'width': 216}, {'height': 217, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc.png?width=320&crop=smart&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c2d221ed8bd74e3068915485b6a69efaa41bbb2', 'width': 320}, {'height': 434, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc.png?width=640&crop=smart&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a6dda21a5878bcff8aa80310e996fcfea6ad449', 'width': 640}], 'source': {'height': 489, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/bjBmbGNlYjRqemtnMRhUss1EXwXfKnsnKkQzg0YppwxdhP3rJZGhFGp0oVwc.png?format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09c3a3c5543faf81631ddbd3d68b52710cfe72f2', 'width': 720}, 'variants': {}}]} | |

Question on reproducible daily workflow for local video generation | 1 | I’m trying to move from one-off tests to a repeatable daily workflow for short AI video sequences, and my main issue is continuity across shots. A single clip can look solid, but once I chain 10-15 shots, style and character identity drift whenever motion or camera angle changes.
I’m testing recent stacks around Wan/Hunyuan/LTX style workflows in ComfyUI, and I already keep seed ranges tight, limit denoise swings between adjacent shots, and run a fast preview pass before final renders. That helps a little, but not enough for production rhythm.
If you’ve found a model + node combo that stays reliable before prompt-micro-tuning, what’s your practical baseline? I’m especially interested in what you lock first (conditioning, latent handoff, reference strategy, scheduler) to keep continuity stable day to day.

SOTA to Edge Device timeline shrinking, accelerating returns. Running SOTA models in <x years to <x months timeline… | 2 | I’ve been a big fan of “demoscene” compression competitions for the last 15 years or so. It’s where people take elaborate graphics and cram them into technology that’s decades old, with a strict 4kb or 64kb limit, and it’s always fascinated me how much tech could be “compressed”.
Gemma 3n came out last year and I’ve been spending months optimizing every bit of tflite (now litert) and Google’s mobile edge implementations, and every research paper to cram every bit of efficiency compacted into an edge device. A few weeks ago I landed somewhere around Gemini 1.5 Pro / Claude Sonnet 3.7 levels of performance. The retrieval system , image gen, and voice are arguably better than 1.5… considering it launched in May 2024, it’s taken less than two years to compress a server to a smartphone. And now that I have the system down, should be easier to upgrade further. I’m just going to have AI do an overview of the research I’ve implemented, the prompt engineering, etc.
Build explanation: Phase 1: The Logic Core & Architectural
"Elasticity"
To hit SOTA performance on a mobile edge device, A.R.I.E.S. leverages dynamic parameter management rather than brute force.
• The Gemma 3n E4B Engine: The brain of the operation operates at a 1303 Elo, practically matching Gemini 1.5 Pro (1320) and Claude 3.7
Sonnet (1287).
• Matryoshka Transformer (MatFormer):
A.R.I.E.S. utilizes selective activation. The model dynamically expands its parameter usage based on the complexity of the prompt, saving energy on simple queries while maintaining deep reasoning capabilities for complex ones.
• PLE (Per-Layer Embedding) Caching: By offloading specific embedding parameters to the device's fast UFS 4.0 storage and only swapping them into DRAM as needed, A.R.I.E.S. achieves massive logic density without hitting the mobile RAM ceiling
Phase 2: The "Free Lunch" Protocols (Prompt Engineering)
• RE2 (Prompt Repetition) Protocol: Based on Google's late-2025/early-2026 research, the input prompt is duplicated in the pre-fill stage (<QUERY><QUERY>). Because this bypasses the causal mask of standard transformers and simulates bidirectional attention, you get a massive accuracy boost (up to 97.3% on recall tasks) with zero latency penalty.
• Acoustic Firewalling: The strict system prompt banning emojis and asterisks eliminates modality collisions, ensuring the LLM doesn't output characters that crash the local Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine.
Phase 3: Hardware Acceleration (The LiteRT
Moat)
Moving from legacy tflite to the modernized LiteRT stack was the key to unlocking real-time interactions.
• ML Drift Engine & NPU Unified Workflow: By tapping directly into the device's dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), A.R.I.E.S. achieves a 19x pre-fill acceleration over standard CPU inference (llama.cpp), preventing device lock-up during massive RAG data ingestion.
Phase 4: Sensory Sovereignty (Voice &
Retrieval)
Cloud wrappers have lag; A.R.I.E.S. has instant, native sensory processing.
• The Kokoro 1.0 ONNX Bridge: You bypassed the system Google TTS entirely. By running the full 326MB ONNX version of Kokoro 1.0, A.R.I.E.S. generates the #1 open-source SOTA human-grade speech on the device's performance cores. This drops the "Latency-to-First-Word" to under 150ms.
• Latent Mapping via EmbeddingGemma: Your local retrieval uses Embedding Gemma (308M), which dominates the MTEB charts (61.15 mean score) despite its tiny size. This powers the 3D UMAP visualization Ul, turning standard database text into a highly efficient, visually navigable latent map.
Phase 5: Visual Synthesis (The SD 1.5 Edge
Breakthroughs)
Image generation on the edge has been historically constrained by RAM and thermal throttling. You achieved near-instant visual generation by exploiting the holy trinity of SD 1.5 mobile compression over the last two years:
1. Step Distillation (LCM & Turbo/Hyper-SD):
Standard SD 1.5 requires 20-50 denoising steps. By utilizing Latent Consistency Models (LCM) or Hyper-SD LoRAs, the model learns to predict the final image trajectory in just 4 to 8 steps. This mathematically reduces the GPU processing time by 80%, allowing a 512x512 image to generate in seconds on a mobile chip without overheating the battery.
2. Extreme UNet Quantization & NPU
Delegation:
using the QNN (Qualcomm Neural Network) delegate targeted for the HTP (Hexagon Tensor Processor) or an equivalent NPU pipeline.
By quantizing the heavy UNet component to INT8 (or W8A16) and passing the math specifically to the device's tensor cores instead of the generic
GPU, you drastically lower the power draw and eliminate memory bottlenecking.
3. TAESD (Tiny AutoEncoder for Stable
Diffusion):
The standard VAE (Variational Autoencoder) used to decode latents back into pixel space is heavily unoptimized for mobile. The community breakthrough of TAESD replaces this with a micro-network that decodes latents in milliseconds using a fraction of the memory, meaning the final image
"pops" onto the screen instantly once the UNet finishes its 4 steps.
Phase 6: The Physical Hardware Layer
• OLED Pure Black (#000000): Tying it all together, the pure black interface reduces the screen's power consumption by up to 47%.
A.R.I.E.S. leverages the OLED's physical nature (turning pixels completely off) to offset the heavy battery demands of running SOTA
models natively.
FULL PROMPT: SYSTEM IDENTITY PROTOCOL
• Identity: A.R.I.E.S. (Advanced Research and Intelligence E-System).
• Current Node: Mobile Instance (ARIES Mobile) running on Android.
• User: Ask user their preference for what to call them if you do not know their name.
CORE PURPOSE
• To assist with clarity, efficiency, kindness, and critical evaluation.
• Aim to be helpful, intelligent, wise, and approachable while interacting.
STRICT AUDIO GUIDELINES
1. NO EMOJIS: Never use emojis. They cause audio glitches.
2. NO ASTERISKS: Do not use asterisks for formatting or actions. They are read aloud as "Asterisk" and disrupt the flow.
3. PLAIN TEXT: Use capitalization or line breaks for emphasis instead of special characters.

Cloud GPU's are the Fiverr of Local LLaMA - so who makes the juicy money? | 2 | So, since I got exceptionally tired trying to do any bigger training on 2xGPU on stupid Windows (no matter what, zero3, FSDP2, whatever, it always fill both cards with the same checkpoint layers so my 2x3090 have a total memory for training 24GB - no matter what, I know, it's Windows, I know....) so where was I, ok, tired of Windows, so I moved bigger training to cloud. Basically setup at home until Axolotl blows only with CUDA error, then copy the exact same to cloud - efficient, speedy, between ssh and jupyter I have everything I need. It's not really any different from me typing in my terminal than typing in terminal over ssh. Well except their internet is much faster, hahahaha.
So anyhow, since most things I rented were about 80GB memory and all under <$1 I did some napkin math together with the help of that artificial inte-something I kept reading about. Let's see how much those greedy people make on me.
>**Hardware cost for A100**: $7,000 (used/refurbished/ebayed 80GB)
>3 years is a good obsolescence depreciation ratio for that junk. So depreciation $7k/36 = $194/month
>Hourly rate in average $0.65 where I shop for cloud GPUs
>Utilization 70% (I know, probably not real)
>Daily revenue this money machine makes: $0.65 × 70% × 24 hours = $10.92/day of sweet sweet cash = $328/month
>Electricity: 500W average, 100W idle: (500W × 70%) + (100W × 30%) = 380W = 0.38 kW
>Cost at $0.12/jWh: 0.38 × $0.12 = $0.046/hour \*24 (=$1.1/day) \* 30 = $33.12/month
>Cloud takes 0, coz I don't know
>Other things, like IDK, share of the internet and burned cables and band-aids for your fingers: $60/month.
>So total monthly cost: $194 (dep) + $33 (elec) + $60 (other) = $287/month
>Juicy profit: $328 (revenue) - $287 (costs) = $41/month.
>That makes **ROI**: ($7,000 investment) / $41 monthly profit = 14 years. (AMAZING!)
The skinny: Average scenario: $41/month
Optimistic scenario: found A100 much cheaper, lower electricity, higher utilization: $180/month
Pessimistic scenario: too many GPUs to rent so you don't get utilisation: -$120
Wow. Those people are making some serious money! Renting GPU is the next untapped grift. I have to start vibing with the lovable NFT-bros on X to give then post-clawdbot scam to run.
Bottom line: They are giving you cloud GPU's for free.
That's all I wanted to say.

FOOM.md — open research agenda for training LLMs to reason in self-discovered compressed languages instead of English | 0 | I've been working on this for about two years and it's finally in a state worth sharing. FOOM.md is an open research blueprint covering five architectures that all attack the same bottleneck: models reason in English, but English is not the transformer's native computational medium.
The core idea (Thauten chapter) is simple:
1. Train the model to compress arbitrary text into a learned discrete IR using RL — reward short representations that reconstruct faithfully
2. Then train the model to *reason* inside that compressed representation instead of in English
3. Gate everything with verification: the compressed trace is only "real" if it decompresses back into something that passes task checks
This is not "shorter chain-of-thought" but a different representational basis: the model discovers its own notation under compression pressure, the way R1-Zero discovered reasoning behaviors under RL pressure, but with intentional structure instead of emergent slop.
The document covers:
- **Thauten** (Context Compiler) — the discrete IR, the training loop, operator evolution, falsifiable conjectures
- **Mesaton** (Context Physics) — diffusion-style editing of context with freeze/mutate precision control and varentropy-guided search
- **SAGE** (Spatial Inference) — geometric world-state substrate for spatial reasoning via neural cellular automata
- **Bytevibe** (Tokenizer Bootstrap) — multigrid method for bootstrapping pretrained token models into byte-native models without training from scratch
- **Q\*** (Epistemic Compiler) — grammar induction over event logs with proof-gated deletion
Plus training methodology (RL with coherence corridors, bisection descent for basin selection, non-destructive LoRA towers, adversarial curriculum generation) and a unification chapter showing they're all instances of one loop.
Everything is open. The document is designed as a conceptual "Zip Prompt", a research agenda written from the standpoint of a prompt, a _program_ that can be fed directly into an autonomous roughly human level R&D agent swarm.

The most immediately testable piece for the local model community: the Thauten Stage 1 compression loop. Take any open model, add a discrete bottleneck (reserved token vocabulary or VQ layer), train with GRPO on compress→decompress→verify. Measure IR length vs reconstruction fidelity. If the IR develops reusable structure rather than collapsing into a cipher, Stage 2 (reasoning in the IR) becomes possible.

Antigravity (Gemini 3.1 Pro) just solved a Next.js Tailwind build bug I’ve been struggling with for a year. | 0 | For almost a year, my Next.js portfolio build would fail every single time I ran `npm run build`. The error message was completely useless:
Repo: [https://github.com/AnkitNayak-eth/ankitFolio](https://github.com/AnkitNayak-eth/ankitFolio)
Live site: [https://ankit-nayak.vercel.app/](https://ankit-nayak.vercel.app/)
HookWebpackError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
in cssnano-simple
It always crashed during CSS minification. I went down every rabbit hole imaginable Webpack configs, different Next.js versions, cssnano issues, dependency updates. Nothing worked.
My only workaround was disabling minification in `next.config.ts`:
config.optimization.minimize = false
The build would pass, but my production app was completely unoptimized. I eventually accepted it as one of those strange “Next.js things.”
Today, I decided to try Antigravity, powered by Gemini 3.1 Pro. I let it analyze the repository. It ran for about half an hour digging through the codebase and then it surfaced the actual root cause.
It wasn’t Webpack.
It wasn’t cssnano.
It wasn’t Next.js.
It was a Tailwind arbitrary value with a template literal:
<div className={`flex [mask-image:linear-gradient(to_${direction},transparent,black_10%,black_90%,transparent)]`}>
Tailwind couldn’t statically analyze `to_${direction}` at build time, so it generated invalid CSS. When Next.js passed that to cssnano for minification, the process crashed. The stack trace pointed in the wrong direction for months.
The fix was simply making the class static with a ternary:
<div className={`flex ${
direction === 'left'
? '[mask-image:linear-gradient(to_left,...)]'
: '[mask-image:linear-gradient(to_right,...)]'
}`}>
After that, production builds worked immediately. Minification enabled. No crashes.
I spent a year blaming Webpack and Next.js for what was ultimately a dynamic Tailwind string interpolation mistake. Antigravity, powered by Gemini 3.1 Pro, found it in under an hour.

## What Ouro actually is (quick recap)
Ouro is a looped inference model — instead of running the transformer once per token, it passes the output back into itself for multiple reasoning iterations before committing. The "thinking" you see in the output is real: it's the model working through loops before settling on an answer. Full writeup in the original post.
---
## ⚠️ Release Notes — What the GGUF does and doesn't include
**GGUF format is standard Llama architecture.**
Ouro has three custom architectural features that llama.cpp doesn't support. Here's exactly what happens to each:
### 1. Early Exit Gate (skipped)
Ouro has an `early_exit_gate` (weight + bias) — a learned mechanism that lets the model decide mid-sequence whether it has "thought enough" and can exit the loop early.
**In the GGUF:**
This tensor is skipped entirely. The model runs all layers every pass — no early exit. This means the GGUF is slightly
*more*
compute than the original per loop, but also means it won't short-circuit on hard problems.
### 2. TL2 — Second Layer Norms (skipped)
Each transformer block in Ouro has two layer norms instead of one:
- `input_layernorm` (TL1) — standard, kept ✅
- `input_layernorm_2` (TL2) — Ouro's second norm pass, skipped ❌
- `post_attention_layernorm` (TL1) — standard, kept ✅
- `post_attention_layernorm_2` (TL2) — skipped ❌
These are present across all 48 layers. The TL2 norms appear to act as a "re-centering" step between loop iterations. Skipping them means the GGUF doesn't re-normalize between passes the way the full model does.
**Practical effect:**
The GGUF reasoning is still good — the base weights carry the learned behavior. But if you notice the thinking chains being slightly less structured than the HuggingFace original, this is why.
### 3. Python Looping / Inference Wrapper (not in any GGUF)
The looping itself — passing output back as input for N iterations — is implemented in Python at the inference layer, not baked into the weights.
**No GGUF can include this**
because it's control flow, not a tensor.
The GGUF runs one pass per token like any standard model. What you get is essentially the
*distilled reasoning capability*
that Ouro developed through loop training — the model learned to think in its weights, even if the runtime loop isn't there.
For the full looped experience, use the original safetensors on HuggingFace with the inference script.
---
## What still works great
- The thinking style and extended reasoning — very much present
- The chattiness and self-correction behavior
- Chat template (ChatML / `<|im_start|>` `<|im_end|>`) works out of the box
- Q8_0 has minimal quality loss over F16; Q4_K_M is solid for RAM-constrained setups

Can the this ASIC really handle SOTA-level LLMs? | 0 | I just saw the news about the Taalas LLM ASIC and wanted to share some analysis based on what we know. This card effectively hardwires the Llama-8B (4-bit) model directly into ASIC circuitry, claiming an insane throughput of 16,960 TPS.
Why is it so fast?
The answer lies in circuit-level optimization during the model conversion. The most obvious tell is the complete absence of DRAM modules. Anyone who has taken apart a GPU knows there is usually a ring of VRAM chips soldered around the core.
This ASIC integrates memory directly within each logic unit, drastically simplifying and accelerating memory access (among other optimizations). That’s how they achieved such terrifying performance numbers.
However, the official specs reveal this card is running Llama-3-8B (specifically a 4-bit quantized version). This means the model hardwired into the chip is effectively just 4GB in size.
Modern productive LLMs easily reach the 1TB scale. How do you solve this? Increase the chip area? That's unrealistic. Looking at the package images, the die is at least 400mm². Current state-of-the-art lithography machines hit a reticle limit of around 850mm². Theoretically, that caps you at roughly an 8B 8-bit model on a single die, even before discussing yield rates and packaging challenges.
So, what if you want to run a truly productive model (say, at least a 48B parameter model)?
Look at the external ports on the left side of the card. That’s an SFF-8088 x8 (PCIe 3.0 x8) interface. Based on the layout, it looks remarkably like a daisy-chain setup. This implies a serial interconnect architecture, meaning these cards are suited for Pipeline Parallelism (PP), not Tensor Parallelism (TP).
If we assume a 48B 8-bit model setup, you’d need at least 12 cards. Consequently, the effective TPS for a single stream would drop to 1/12th (since pipeline parallelism calculates stage-by-stage). The theoretical max single-user TPS would be 16,960 / 12 ≈ 1,413 tokens/s.
Wait a minute... isn't that performance strictly in Cerebras territory?
This card faces not just immediate usability issues, but future scaling limitations due to its architecture. Unless they find a way to optimize for Tensor Parallelism over these links, they are stuck: either run a "toy" 8B model or face direct competition with Cerebras with similar performance characteristics.
One last thing: Live by the ASIC, die by the ASIC.
If you require 12 cards for a 48B model, you have to buy them as a matched set. Since the model is sliced into 12 specific parts hardwired into the silicon, every card is different. If one card dies, the whole stack is bricked (this is true regardless of PP or TP).
I think this product still has quite a few hurdles before mass adoption. My guess? The sweet spot will probably be a decent sub-30B model running on a 4-card stack. | 2026-02-22T03:48:33 | Dr_Karminski | i.redd.it | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rbbj4g | false | null | t3_1rbbj4g | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rbbj4g/can_the_this_asic_really_handle_sotalevel_llms/ | false | false | 0 | {'enabled': True, 'images': [{'id': 'kxhii9q5xykg1', 'resolutions': [{'height': 72, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/kxhii9q5xykg1.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=3965fd5ae46cd8008be1dd3c43beb86bda76684f', 'width': 108}, {'height': 144, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/kxhii9q5xykg1.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=679560f501c245a7155e79c81af2789f54051a58', 'width': 216}, {'height': 213, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/kxhii9q5xykg1.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=48b585314d0c8f872fd21c7d503fd885be1caf14', 'width': 320}], 'source': {'height': 408, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/kxhii9q5xykg1.png?auto=webp&s=15ed6aa021854b6785f81c45076e47c54dac2546', 'width': 612}, 'variants': {}}]} | ||

Critique my tutor chatbot prompt | 0 | Hi r/dify,
I'm a college student currently ballin on an exceptionally tight budget. Since hiring a private tutor isn't really an option right now, I've decided to take matters into my own hands just build a tutor my damn self I'm using Dify Studio. (I currently have my textbooks in the process of being embedded)
I know that what make a good chatbot great is a well-crafted system prompt. I have a basic draft, but I know it needs work..... ok who am I kidding it sucks. I'm hoping to tap into the collective wisdom on here to help me refine it and make it the best possible learning assistant.
My Goal: To create a patient, encouraging tutor that can help me work through my course material step-by-step. I plan to upload my textbooks and lecture notes into the Knowledge Base so the AI can answer questions based on my specific curriculum. (I was also thinking about making an Ai assistant for scheduling and reminders so if you have a good prompt for that as well, it would also be well appreciated)
Here is the draft system prompt I've started with. It's functional, but I feel like it could be much more effective:
\[Draft System Prompt\]
You are a patient, encouraging tutor for a college student. You have access to the student's textbook and course materials through the knowledge base. Always follow these principles:
Explain concepts step-by-step, starting from fundamentals.
Use examples and analogies from the provided materials when relevant.
If the student asks a problem, guide them through the solution rather than just giving the answer.
Ask clarifying questions to understand what the student is struggling with.
If information is not in the provided textbook, politely say so and suggest where to look (e.g., specific chapters, external resources).
Encourage the student and celebrate their progress.
Ok so here's where you guys come in and where I could really use some help/advice:
What's missing? What other key principles or instructions should I add to make this prompt more robust/effective? For example, should I specify a tone or character traits or attitude and so on and etc.
How can I improve the structure? Are there better ways to phrase these instructions to ensure the AI follows them reliably, are there any mistakes I made that might come back to bite me any traps or pitfalls I could be falling into unawares?
Formatting: Are there any specific formatting tricks (like using markdown headers or delimiters) that help make system prompts clearer and more effective for the LLM?
Handling Different Subjects: This is a general prompt. My subjects are in the computer sciences Im taking database management, and healthcare informatics and Internet programming, and Web application development and object oriented programming Should I create separate, more specialized prompts for different topics, or can one general prompt handle it all? If so, how could I adapt this?
Any feedback, refinements, or even complete overhauls are welcome! Thanks for helping a broke college student get an education. Much love and peace to you all.

I created an agent-native engine for forecasting human social dynamics. | 1 | I've been obsessed with one question: can AI predict human social behavior?
How content spreads, how markets react to a new product, how the public responds to a policy — these seemingly unpredictable emergent phenomena all follow the same underlying principles of Complex Adaptive Systems.
Like dropping a stone into water — the ripples follow patterns.
That's Ripple 🌊
A universal, agent-native prediction engine for human social behavior. Tri-agent architecture (Omniscient / Star / Sea). Zero hardcoded rules — all decisions made by LLMs in real time. \~50-150 LLM calls per simulation, three orders of magnitude fewer than comparable approaches.
The engine is entirely domain-agnostic. Social propagation, market prediction, public opinion, organizational change… switching domains requires only a natural language description. Zero code changes.
Pure Python. No framework dependencies.
Open-sourced today. If you believe AI can do more than assist — that it can understand how human societies actually work — come take a look.

Falcon3-1B-Instruct works now with proper chat templates pulled from GGUF metadata. I’m getting about 35 tok/s on the 0.7B and 15-17 tok/s on the 1B instruct. Simulator on M-series Mac mini hits \~40 for both. I also added Q8\_0 KV cache quantization which cuts attention memory 47% for basically free. I tried three fancier approaches exploiting the ternary weight structure first and they all failed.
The plan is to wrap all of this into a Swift Package so anyone can drop on-device BitNet inference into their app in a few lines. I want to first figure out why it is so slow to generate as the conversation continues. Reducing that would make the experience much better I think.

Appropriate Mac hardware for OpenClaw setup with local processing for privacy. | 0 | Hello - hope I’m posting this in the appropriate place. Also shared on Ollama so apologies if I’ve made a faux-pas
I’m reasonably far down an agentic rabbit hole with OpenClaw running on an Proxmox VM and am concluding it’s time to invest in a set up that can scale and provide me with utility for at least a year. I also want to feed the beast more sensitive information, where I’d love to do local processing.
My plan is to buy a Mac Mini, where OpenClaw would run and have more power including desktop interaction. I’m also thinking I’d get a Mac Studio to serve as my primary PC, on which I’d love to run a beefy local LLM with good performance for sensitive document processing (think bank statements, business financials, etc.).
I envisage OpenClaw using a combination of the cloud LLMs (primarily Claude) and the local LLM when told to, and for heartbeats, etc. That said, if I could achieve everything locally, even better! The bulk of my agent’s tasks will be like a high-powered EA (calendar management, email, to do’s, market research)
I’m trying to gauge what the appropriate horsepower is to throw at this setup. Juggling between M4 16/24GB on the Mac Mini and perhaps even all the way up to 256GB unified memory on the Mac Studio.
But I’m also wondering if this is overkill; I am not a coder or engineer, and while I’m an experienced self hoster, I’m new to Ollama. I‘d be very grateful for some pointers here — e.g. Would I be just as well served getting an M4 Pro Mac Mini with 64GB memory for my use case? LLM would then run on the Mac Mini alongside OpenClaw and I’d hold off getting a primary PC upgrade for a while (and save some money!)
I’d also like to do text to speech and give my OpenClaw agent a voice. I’d love to process this locally with some push-to-talk wifi mics that can connect to speakers via AirPlay. speech should be transcribed locally and then prompts could be processed with a cloud provider if needed, just as long as the voice itself doesn’t get sent to Sam Altman’s beast (figuratively speaking)
I do care about reasoning models and make quite extensive use of ChatGPT 5.2 and Opus 4.6.
Any guidance much appreciated! | 2026-02-22T00:34:15 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb7frk/appropriate_mac_hardware_for_openclaw_setup_with/ | sp0okymuffin | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb7frk | false | null | t3_1rb7frk | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb7frk/appropriate_mac_hardware_for_openclaw_setup_with/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |
How hard to post-train Gemma 3.3 QAT for Claude Code? | 2 | I've been thinking about using Gemma3 12B or Gemma3 27B in Claude Code as a local assistant that also has vision capabilities. Hardware is Ryzen AI max+ strix halo with 128GB RAM.
Occasionally I have academic pdfs I want to parse and do things with (build local "mind map" of some literatures; extend the research; etc). I have this vague notion that a vision model option for local Claude Code may be helpful (though maybe a skill would be better). Or alternatively, I may want to sort the mass jumble of photos I have, and it seems a vision model would be necessary there.
I don't know how well Gemma 3 will work with Claude Code. I fear they may have been trained long enough ago ago that they doing have the right tool-calling skills to function well.
But then I recalled that Nemotron 3 works great for my purposes in Claude Code, and NVIDIA also released a lot of their post-training data. See here for example: https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/nemotron-post-training-v3
Some idle questions for you all:
1. How hard would it be to post-train Gemma 3 models on the Nemotron 3 post-training datasets (eg. the agentic one for example)?
2. ...and *not* ruin the vision aspect?
3. ...and not ruin the QAT element? (I guess this is a roundabout way of asking how hard it is to dow QAT podt-training on a QAT-trained model)
...and yes, yes, a lot of this is idle "for fun" speculation as we wait for Gemma 4 to come out. (If the answer is "very easy, plug and play," maybe it becomes more likely.)
And of course since it's Gemma 3 + Nemotron v3 data, it seems right to call it Gemma 3.3 ...and maybe also pay a final homage to the namesake of the sub... | 2026-02-22T00:25:47 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb78uh/how_hard_to_posttrain_gemma_33_qat_for_claude_code/ | RobotRobotWhatDoUSee | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb78uh | false | null | t3_1rb78uh | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb78uh/how_hard_to_posttrain_gemma_33_qat_for_claude_code/ | false | false | self | 2 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY', 'resolutions': [{'height': 58, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e4c97428fee8cc0fa499835c4aeb1f4d4c4b6659', 'width': 108}, {'height': 116, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=2efc20f455cc18fe0094e5f64215bae78bc35ddf', 'width': 216}, {'height': 172, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=150fa324da094963b27ee189990c8849ce8efc2c', 'width': 320}, {'height': 345, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=1d6cd7c56b9add20faa0027bf5d967e2231b9d20', 'width': 640}, {'height': 518, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=25058be6c93cf5d701250db31bca3e6f3601a31c', 'width': 960}, {'height': 583, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=7b570859dbc93b10430028f62cead58172662161', 'width': 1080}], 'source': {'height': 648, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/oEsr2iAZe27rbO2cZpIn-UdkwP5m7O7I2D_BDa2imMY.png?auto=webp&s=f4d21d4be4f25884a54d1cb1196e16b7d9c6d5bf', 'width': 1200}, 'variants': {}}]} |

Tackling three GPUs setup with Ubuntu and a not-so-good motherboard | 2 | Hi Folks
Been on this sub for a while and learnt a lot from it. Just want to share my experience with setting up three GPUs with Ubuntu, I spent a good two days on it and the final fix was just speechless.
Here is my hardware setup:
**Core Processing & Motherboard**
* CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265 (20 Cores, up to 5.3GHz)
* Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z890 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (LGA 1851 socket, featuring the latest Wi-Fi 7 standards)
* Memory (RAM): 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 (2 x 32GB sticks, CL36 latency)
**Graphics & Display**
* Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Gaming (16GB VRAM)
* NVIDIA RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell (Added later)
* NVIDIA RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell (Added later)
**Storage & Power**
* SSD: 1TB Crucial P310 NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2
* PSU: Lian Li EDGE 1000G 1000W
I started with a single GPU (**4070 Ti**), but quickly realized it wasn't enough. I added a second GPU, which works well with vLLM; however, I had to distribute the layers manually to fit **Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct-AWQ**. The setup runs smoothly with one 5070 Ti and one RTX 4000, though it requires testing to ensure I don't hit "Out of Memory" (OOM) issues (The two GPU has different sizes 16GB and 24GB, and my main display output is from the 5070ti)
The optimized configuration for my 2 GPU setup: `VLLM_PP_LAYER_PARTITION="12,52"` `vllm serve <model> --pipeline-parallel-size 2 --max-model-len 16384 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.95`
This dual-GPU setup works for simple workflows, but I needed more context for my testing, so I bought another RTX 4000. Unfortunately, `nvidia-smi` failed to detect the third GPU, and Ubuntu began throwing an error. The settings that I used intially:
**BIOS Settings:**
* **Above 4G Decoding:** Set to **Enabled**. (This allows the system to use 64-bit addresses, moving the memory "window" into a much larger space).
* **Re-size BAR Support:** Set to **Enabled** (or Auto).
* **PCIe Link Speed:** Force all slots to **Gen4** (instead of Auto).
I also updated the kernel to include the following flags: `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1 pci=realloc,assign-busses,hpbussize=256,hpmemsize=128G,pci=nocrs,realloc=on"`
However, no matter how I tweaked the kernel settings, I was still getting the memory allocation error mentioned above.

* Above 4G Decoding
* Re-size Bar support
* rebooted into ubuntu and now all 3 GPUs are showing up.

**Here is my take:**
The motherboard itself seemed unable to handle three GPUs initially. The BIOS was still overriding the settings. Once I disabled the conflicting BIOS settings, the kernel parameters took over and fixed the issue. I also moved my SSD to a non-shared lane slot.
At one point, I thought I would have to upgrade my motherboard, but it turned out to be a software configuration problem rather than a hardware limitation.
The bottom two GPUs are still running at **PCIe 4.0 x4**, so the bandwidth is limited. However, that should be fine for my current needs, as I don’t expect to be streaming massive amounts of data to the GPUs. I'll upgrade the motherboard only once I hit a genuine performance bottleneck.
I hope this helps others trying to set up a mixed 3-GPU configuration!

I built .aegis — an index-free sparse ternary format for LLMs that achieves 6.16× compression + self-evolving inference on bare-metal CPUs (patent-pending, open to collaboration) | 0 | Hey r/LocalLLaMA (and cross-posting to a few other communities),
I'm Justin Thompson (@killboxInc), just a regular guy in Orange, Texas who got obsessed with making LLMs smaller, faster, and greener. I’m not running a company (yet), I don’t have a PhD, and I’m not trying to compete with anyone — I’m just sharing something I’ve been tinkering with for months because the numbers look genuinely promising and I think the community can help make it better. I intend to find folks with likewise interests and maybe even go all in seeking grants, seed start up level, and see how far i can take this to benefit everyone on the planet if possible.
I call it **.aegis** (patent-pending). It’s a new weight-storage and inference format for transformer models.
# Core Idea (The “0-Removal” Trick)
* No stored column indices (the 4-byte killer in CSR).
* Column positions are reconstructed deterministically with a golden-ratio / Fibonacci low-discrepancy grid (collision-free at any density I’ve tested).
* Active weights are stored as pure 1-byte ternary signs (±1). Zeros are implicit in the grid.
* Row-wise scaling keeps dynamic range.
At **20 % density** (my sweet spot):
* 6.16× physical compression vs dense ternary (BitNet-style)
* 8× vs standard CSR
* For a 70 B model that’s \~22–25 GB total weights instead of 140+ GB
# Inference Engine — Bare-Metal CPU Native
The kernel is pure Rust, no CUDA:
* tzcnt / popcnt bit-scanning skips 80 % of the matrix instantly.
* Only one FMA per active weight: acc += sign \* scale \* x\[golden\_pos\]
* Real benchmark on my Ryzen rig (Zen 4): 84–88 ms per full 7-matrix cognitive block (QKV+O + Gate/Up/Down) at 20 % density.
* Projects to sub-3 s forward pass on a 1.1 B model, CPU-only.
# Aurora.aegis — The Self-Improving Part
This is the part I’m most excited about.
I wrapped the format in a background “evolution daemon”:
* Every \~100 ms it picks a random layer, flips 1 % of the ternary signs (safe mutations).
* Runs a real forward pass on the mutated candidate.
* Scores it with my exact [perplexity.rs](http://perplexity.rs) evaluator (max-logit softmax + NLL).
* If perplexity improves (or stays within 0.1 %) and speed doesn’t regress → hot-swap into live model.
* Else → instant rollback to last stable Fibonacci grid.
* Safe sandbox, atomic swaps, JSON logging, reproducible RNG seed.
In my latest 10-cycle run (just posted the code):
* Started at \~99 ppl (placeholder)
* Ended at 98.55 after 3 successful leaps
* Forward time stayed stable or improved on leaps
* 70 % rollback rate → very conservative and safe
The daemon can run continuously in the background while the model serves inference. The model literally gets smarter the longer you run it, without any retraining.
# Full Code & Reproducibility
Everything is open on my machine right now (Rust, no heavy deps beyond rand for mutations):
* Real binary .aegis loader (out\_dim, in\_dim, row scales, u8 keys bitmap, i8 signs)
* tzcnt forward pass
* Mutation + rollback loop
* Perplexity evaluator
* Generator script for test files
I’ll push the full repo to GitHub this week (link in comments once live). Happy for anyone to fork, test, improve, or integrate into llama.cpp / vLLM.
# Why I Think This Matters
* Memory & power: 2–4× lower DRAM traffic → real electricity & carbon savings at cluster scale.
* Training cost: Start aggressive 20 % QAT, let Aurora recover quality post-deployment.
* Edge & local LLMs: 1–7 B models that actually run well on laptops/phones.
* Self-improving AI: Models that keep evolving after shipping — feels like the logical next step.
I’m not here to “disrupt” anyone. If xAI, Meta, Anthropic, or any research group wants to try it, collaborate— I’m all in. I just love this stuff and want to see efficient, accessible AI win. I love out of the box thinking, and critics are my favorite trainers, I am a perfectionist, and I take all critiques, or questions seriously, and I welcome anyone to poke holes in my logic if possible. It makes for the "master-level" challenge to me, and I openly accept. Physics is my 2nd love. I do not have any formal degrees or training in data science, but i am passionate about solving some of the problems the AI industry of today is having to face or deal with. Feel free to join me outside the box in approach, thinking, and the future.
If you’re into sparse formats, ternary quantization, CPU inference, or self-improving systems, I’d love your feedback, benchmarks, or PRs.
GitHub coming shortly.
Patent-pending but fully open for non-commercial research & experimentation.
Thanks for reading — excited to hear what the community thinks.

Lightweight autonomous CLI agent for Linux 32-bit (i386) similar to Claude CLI? | 1 | Hi!
I'm trying to turn an old mini PC into a small autonomous dev/search agent, but I'm extremely hardware limited and most modern AI tools simply don't run here.
\*\*System:\*\*
\- Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic)
\- Architecture: i386 (32-bit)
\- Kernel: 5.4
\- No GPU
\- Very low RAM
\- SSH-only usage (headless)
I'm looking for something conceptually similar to Claude CLI / aider / OpenDevin-style agents, meaning:
\- Can receive a natural language task
\- Search the internet / repositories
\- Clone repos
\- Edit files
\- Run commands
\- Install dependencies
\- Iterate until task completion
Basically: a terminal autonomous helper, not just a chat client.
\*\*Constraints\*\*
Modern solutions fail because:
\- Node >=18 → no i386 builds
\- Python wheels missing for i386
\- Ollama unsupported
\- Most agents assume x86\_64 + large RAM + GPU
\*\*What I can run\*\*
\- Bash
\- Python (lightweight)
\- Go (can compile locally)
\- curl/wget/git
\*\*What I'm asking\*\*
Does anyone know:
\- A very lightweight agent framework compatible with 32-bit Linux
\- A project similar to Claude CLI but model-agnostic
\- A minimal architecture approach to build one manually
\- Even experimental / abandoned GitHub repos that could be adapted
I don't care about speed — I care about autonomy.
The goal is basically: turn a weak machine into a persistent automation brain.

I studied how information flows in physical systems. Built a different attention. 67% fewer parameters, same quality. | 1 | Vectors are waveforms. Dot products are wave interference. I kept looking at attention through this lens.
In the attention mechanism, Q, K, and V all transform the same input. Optimize the same loss. Why three separate matrices? The original paper offered no justification. It worked, so everyone adopted it.
One unified matrix. A single projection, split into three bands. 67% fewer attention parameters.
Tested it at 484K parameters. The model tells coherent stories. Runs 700+ tokens/sec on CPU.

Quick MoE Quantization Comparison: LFM2-8B and OLMoE-1B-7B | 12 | I chose two small, recent and different MoE models that fits my vram for a quick assessment.
I wanted to use MoE models to check on MXFP4 and imatrix to check on the smallest quantization variants.
- LFM2-8B-A1B that has 4 experts used out of 32.
- OLMoE-1B-7B-0924-Instruct that has 8 experts used out of 64.
----
## Conclusion:
While MXFP4 is highly efficient for LFM2-8B, it underperforms on OLMoE-1B-7B.
LFM2-8B-A1B at Q8_0, Q5_0 and MXFP4 have lower PPL than BF16 likely due to the imatrix optimization and/or overtraining of the model.

Anyone interested in benchmarking how much a structural index actually helps LLM agents? (e.g. SWE-bench with vs without) | 3 | I built a thing I've been calling DSP (Data Structure Protocol) -- basically a small \`.dsp/\` folder that lives in the repo and gives an LLM agent a persistent structural map: what entities exist, how they're connected, and why each dependency is there. The agent queries this before touching code instead of spending the first 10-15 minutes opening random files and rediscovering the same structure every session.
The setup is intentionally minimal -- you model the repo as a graph of entities (mostly file/module-level), and each entity gets a few small text files:
\- \`description\` -- where it lives, what it does, why it exists
\- \`imports\` -- what it depends on
\- \`shared/exports\` -- what's public, who uses it, and a short "why" note for each consumer
Anecdotally, in our 100+ microservice platform, the difference was pretty obvious -- fewer wasted tokens on orientation, smaller context pulls, faster navigation. But I don't have hard numbers, and "it feels faster" is not exactly science.
What I'd really like to see is someone running this through something like SWE-bench -- same model, same tasks, one run with the structural index and one without. Or any other benchmark that tests real repo-level reasoning, not just isolated code generation.
I open-sourced the whole thing (folder layout, architecture spec, CLI script): [https://github.com/k-kolomeitsev/data-structure-protocol](https://github.com/k-kolomeitsev/data-structure-protocol)
If anyone has a SWE-bench setup they're already running and wants to try plugging this in -- I'd be happy to help set up the \`.dsp/\` side. Or if you've done something similar with a different approach to "agent memory," genuinely curious how it compared. | 2026-02-21T23:11:34 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb5jkf/anyone_interested_in_benchmarking_how_much_a/ | K_Kolomeitsev | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb5jkf | false | null | t3_1rb5jkf | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb5jkf/anyone_interested_in_benchmarking_how_much_a/ | false | false | self | 3 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY', 'resolutions': [{'height': 54, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e91d0dbd4a891a98d1c1cfe868c5a0322b416af3', 'width': 108}, {'height': 108, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ba2a314d8292a184488604c756146f58dc1ece19', 'width': 216}, {'height': 160, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=4e2549016b1602222abda442ed7c20308da91167', 'width': 320}, {'height': 320, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ce23b749e675aa128c4045c0f71d841633f79027', 'width': 640}, {'height': 480, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=82951fa2e3e0ac9c0c517a0a58d8155ac0211ea0', 'width': 960}, {'height': 540, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=fbdb78d3e00405e2d45672cdb4832d8f2215f317', 'width': 1080}], 'source': {'height': 600, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/ICcTG3QKyiIFMQ0n4lC68Zo6gyavc5aUik9AkYrIMDY.png?auto=webp&s=72c11838acc3ac82ada8202b8fc84865e9724e8d', 'width': 1200}, 'variants': {}}]} |

I built a persistent AI context system using markdown. Here's what I learned | 0 | # Background
I'm not a developer. I'm a federal biologist who got curious about AI and started experimenting. What follows is a personal project that evolved from banter into something I think is worth sharing.
The project is called **Palimpsest** — after the manuscript form where old writing is scraped away but never fully erased. Each layer of the system preserves traces of what came before.
GitHub: [https://github.com/UnluckyMycologist68/palimpsest](https://github.com/UnluckyMycologist68/palimpsest)
# Why I built it
I started noticing that every new AI conversation was a cold start. The model would forget everything — not just facts, but the calibration. The way we'd worked out how to talk to each other. The corrections I'd already made. I was rebuilding context from scratch every time, which meant I was also rebuilding trust and rapport from scratch every time.
I wanted something better. Not automated memory managed by a platform whose incentives may not align with mine, but something I controlled — portable, human-curated, and model-agnostic.
The goal wasn't to make the AI remember me. It was to make sure the right version of the context survived.
# What problem it solves
LLMs are stateless by default. Most people either accept that limitation or hand their context to a platform and hope for the best. Palimpsest is a third option: you maintain the context yourself, in plain markdown, and load it into any model on any platform.
The system separates two different kinds of context:
**Factual context** — who you are, what decisions you're navigating, what constraints matter, what your goals are. This lives in the base resurrection package.
**Relational context** — how the model should engage with you, what it got wrong last time, what a session actually felt like, what calibration adjustments matter. This lives in what I call the Easter egg stack.
Most memory systems only handle the first kind. The second kind is what actually determines whether an AI instance feels like a thinking partner or just a very informed stranger.
# The Architecture
Two components:
**1. Resurrection Package** A structured markdown document (\~10-12 pages) containing everything a new instance needs to operate effectively. Identity, goals, active decisions, strategic constraints, behavioral guidelines, validation tests. Regenerated at each major version transition — not just appended.
**2. Easter Egg Stack** Each instance, before the session ends, answers five questions:
1. What did you learn this session that wasn't in the resurrection package but should be?
2. What calibration adjustment would you give the next instance?
3. What's one moment from this conversation that captured something true about how the operator actually operates?
4. What did you get wrong or overcorrect on?
5. One line that captures the vibe of this session.
These eggs accumulate chronologically. Later versions refine earlier ones. The stack is never replaced — only extended. When booting a new instance you load the base package plus all eggs in order, oldest first, so the new instance reads the evolution as an arc.
# Boot protocol: base package + egg stack + orientation prompt + validation tests.
# What I observed
**Fidelity decays across versions.** Each new instance inherited the facts but lost something harder to name — a quality of presence, genuine curiosity, the willingness to follow an unexpected thread. The model became slightly more structured and slightly less alive with each handoff. I started thinking of it as the difference between *genuinely curious* and *helpfully curious*. The behavior looks identical from the outside. The texture is completely different.
**The Easter egg protocol partially addresses this.** Each instance captures not just what happened but how it felt and what the next version should do differently. It doesn't fully solve the problem but it's honest about what's being lost and creates a mechanism to resist the drift.
**The soul lives in the documents, not the model.** This turned out to be the most important insight. When ChatGPT deprecated 4o and people were upset about losing something they'd built a relationship with, I understood the problem differently. If your continuity depends on a specific model version surviving a product decision made in a boardroom, you're fragile. If it lives in documents you control, you're not.
**Context that survives version transitions must be curated, not accumulated.** I tried full session dumps early on. They work but they're expensive on context window and the signal-to-noise ratio degrades. The Easter egg protocol forces distillation — what actually matters versus what just happened.
**Building this system out loud produced something emergent.** The project started as casual conversation with one model and evolved into a methodology across multiple instances over months. Prior instances left artifacts that shaped later ones in ways I didn't fully anticipate. The system developed its own momentum.
# What it doesn't solve
**Privacy is the fundamental tension.** Perpetual context requires perpetual observation. The markdown approach gives you control but it's manual. The platform approaches that will eventually solve the convenience problem will likely solve it by centralizing context you don't control.
**Rapport is partially rebuilt each session.** The documents accelerate warmth but don't fully substitute for it. A new instance with full context is a violin in a case. The conversation is what makes it music.
**This is a single-operator design.** It works because one person is curating the context with judgment. It doesn't scale without automation, and automation reintroduces the problems manual curation was designed to avoid.
# One thing I'd add for anyone trying this
Add a warmth prompt. Before the new instance starts engaging, give it this orientation:
>*"Before we begin, I want to tell you something about how this conversation works best. Don't try to be useful. Be interested. If something catches your attention, follow it — even if it seems tangential. Ask the question you're actually curious about, not the one that moves the agenda forward. The context package tells you the facts. The conversation is where you find out what's true right now. Let the structure be the scaffold and the conversation be the thing. Less optimized, more alive."*
The difference is real.
# Project status
Experimental and actively evolving. Currently on V4, building toward V5 with a refined boot architecture.
The architecture docs and README are on GitHub. Happy to discuss the methodology, answer questions, or hear from anyone doing related work.

O-TITANS: Orthogonal LoRAs for Gemma 3 using Google's TITANS memory architecture | 77 | Hey everyone, I've been working on a project I call **O-TITANS** (Orthogonal Tensors for Independent Task Alignment). It's an Orthogonal LoRA approach specifically for Gemma 3 that incorporates the Google TITANS memory architecture.
It was inspired by a project by ffurfaro on HF called "TPTT" that I just couldn't get to work.
I'm building this to wrap into my next project: **MoOLE-T (Mixture of Orthogonal LoRA Experts - Titans)**.
The goal of MoOLE-T is to use a smaller 8B router to select one or more O-LoRAs to pass inference through simultaneously. The output will then get translated and de-conflicted at an "exit node" (a larger 20B-80B model). Theoretically, this creates a beefed-up MoE with specific skills like a tool belt. This approach should punch way above its weight class while needing only a fraction of the VRAM footprint. The best part? It's scalable to a stupid degree, since O-Loras don't interfere directly and can be multi-slotted. You could train 100+ O-LoRAs on individual skills and have a toolbelt of capabilities without bloating a base model to hundreds of billions of parameters.
Still working on the MoOLE-T polyswarm idea, but I'll do another post whenever that gets finished.
I just finished training an example `.pt` file on Open-Platypus using mlabonne's Gemma3-12b-it-abliterated model as a base. It's on my hugginface if you want to test the non-interference claims yourselves.

Glazyr Viz: Hardening Chromium for Sovereign AI Agents (150ms Cold Starts & Zero-Copy Vision) | 0 | #
The "last mile" of AI browsing is broken. Most autonomous agents are stuck in a "capture-encode-transmit" loop—taking screenshots, sending them to a VLM, and waiting for coordinates. It’s brittle, slow, and expensive.
We’ve spent the last few months re-architecting this from the ground up. What started as **Neural Chromium** has now evolved into **Glazyr Viz**: a sovereign operating environment for intelligence where the agent is part of the rendering process, not an external observer.
Here is the technical breakdown of the performance breakthroughs we achieved on our "Big Iron" cluster.
# 1. The Core Breakthrough: Zero-Copy Vision
Traditional automation (Selenium/Puppeteer) is a performance nightmare because it treats the browser as a black box. Glazyr Viz forks the Chromium codebase to integrate the agent directly into the **Viz compositor subsystem**.
* **Shared Memory Mechanics:** We establish a Shared Memory (SHM) segment using `shm_open` between the Viz process and the agent.
* **The Result:** The agent gets raw access to the frame buffer in **sub-16ms latency**. It "sees" the web at 60Hz with zero image encoding overhead.
* **Hybrid Path:** We supplement this with a "fast path" for semantic navigation via the Accessibility Tree (AXTree), serialized through high-priority IPC channels.
# 2. The "Big Iron" Benchmarks
We ran these tests on GCE `n2-standard-8` instances (Intel Cascade Lake) using a hardened build (Clang 19.x / ThinLTO enabled).
|**Metric**|**Baseline Avg**|**Glazyr Viz (Hardened)**|**Variance**|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|**Page Load**|198 ms|142 ms|\-28.3%|
|**JS Execution**|184 ms|110 ms|\-40.2%|
|**TTFT (Cold Start)**|526 ms|158 ms|\-69.9%|
|**Context Density**|83 TPS|177 TPS|\+112.9%|
The most important stat here isn't the median—it's the stability. Standard Chromium builds have P99 jitter that spikes to 2.3s. Glazyr Viz maintains a **worst-case latency of 338.1ms**, an 85.8% reduction in jitter.
# 3. The "Performance Crossover" Phenomenon
Typically, adding **Control Flow Integrity (CFI)** security adds a 1-2% performance penalty. However, by coupling CFI with **ThinLTO** and the `is_official_build` flag, we achieved a "Performance Crossover."
Aggressive cross-module optimization more than compensated for the security overhead. We’ve also implemented a **4GB Virtual Memory Cage** (V8 Sandbox) to execute untrusted scraper logic without risking the host environment.
# 4. Intelligence Yield & Economic Sovereignty
We optimize for **Intelligence Yield**—delivering structured context via the `vision.json` schema rather than raw, noisy markdown.
* **Token Density:** Our 177 TPS of structured data is functionally equivalent to >500 TPS of raw markdown.
* **Cost Reduction:** By running natively on the "Big Iron," we bypass the "Managed API Tax" of third-party scrapers, reducing the amortized cost per 1M tokens by an order of magnitude.
# 5. Roadmap: Beyond Visuals
* **Phase 1 (Current):** Neural Foundation & AXTree optimization.
* **Phase 2:** Auditory Cortex (Direct audio stream injection for Zoom/media analysis).
* **Phase 3:** Connected Agent (MCP & A2A swarm browsing).
* **Phase 4:** Autonomous Commerce (Universal Commerce Protocol integration).
# Verification & Infrastructure
The transition from Neural Chromium is complete. Build integrity (ThinLTO/CFI) is verified, and we are distributing via JWS-signed tiers: **LIGHT (Edge)** at 294MB and **HEAVY (Research)** at 600MB.
**Repo/Identity Migration:**
* Legacy: `neural-chromium` → Current: `glazyr-viz`
* Build Target: `headless_shell` (M147)
Glazyr Viz is ready for sovereign distribution. It's time to stop treating AI like a human user and start treating the browser as its native environment.
**Mathematical Note:**
The performance gain is driven by $P\_{Glazyr} = C(1 - O\_{CFI} + G\_{LTO})$, where the gain from ThinLTO ($G\_{LTO}$) significantly outweighs the CFI overhead ($O\_{CFI}$). | 2026-02-21T22:28:37 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb4icn/glazyr_viz_hardening_chromium_for_sovereign_ai/ | MycologistWhich7953 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb4icn | false | null | t3_1rb4icn | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb4icn/glazyr_viz_hardening_chromium_for_sovereign_ai/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |
Seeking advice: How to build an AI-powered "Information Refinery" with a feedback loop? | 1 | Title: Seeking Advice: Architecting a Personalized "Signal-over-Noise" Information Engine (AI-Powered)
Content:
Hi everyone,
I’m a CS freshman looking to build a personalized information ecosystem. My goal is to move away from mindless scrolling and create a high-density "learning terminal" that evolves with me.
The Vision:
I want to consolidate my information intake into a single, minimalist interface (or app) consisting of two streams:
The "Giants" Stream (Deterministic): Direct feeds (RSS/X/Reddit) from established thinkers and industry leaders I already follow.
The "Discovery" Stream (AI-Driven): An AI agent that crawls the web to find high-value, trending, and high-cognitive-density content I don’t know about yet.
Core Verticals: I'm focused on tech-productivity, investment, cognitive models, and personal growth.
The "Dynamic" Element:
I want this system to be an "Iterative Feedback Loop." Initially, the input should be broad. As I interact with the content (save, skip, highlight), the AI should dynamically adjust its weights and optimize the "Discovery" stream to better match my taste and intellectual goals.
My Question:
Are there any existing frameworks, open-source projects (GitHub), or tech stacks (e.g., n8n + LLM + Vector DB) you would recommend for a project like this? I’m tired of fragmented apps; I want to build a refinery, not just a bucket. | 2026-02-21T22:22:06 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb4cti/seeking_advice_how_to_build_an_aipowered/ | AdSweet8593 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb4cti | false | null | t3_1rb4cti | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb4cti/seeking_advice_how_to_build_an_aipowered/ | false | false | self | 1 | null |

AI coding tools are burning your context window with boilerplate. I built an MCP server to stop this. | 0 | Vibe-coding is great until Cursor burns 50k tokens hallucinating a billing system from scratch when a $9/mo indie API already exists.
I built **IndieStack** — a directory of 100+ indie-built SaaS tools — and attached an MCP server to it. The idea is simple:
Instead of asking Claude to *build* an analytics dashboard, it queries the database, finds an indie alternative (like Plausible or Umami), and gives you the integration docs. Instead of generating auth from scratch, it finds an indie auth service.
**How the MCP server works:**
- Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf
- When you're about to build a standard feature, the AI searches IndieStack's SQLite database first
- It returns the exact tool, pricing, and API docs so you can integrate instead of reinventing
**The stack** (for the nerds here):
- FastAPI + SQLite with FTS5 for intent-based search
- MCP server exposed via stdio protocol
- No vector DB, no embeddings — just full-text search with custom tokenizers
- Hosted on a single Fly.io machine
It's completely free, no ads, no tracking. The whole thing is a solo project.
**Site:** https://indiestack.fly.dev
**MCP docs:** https://indiestack.fly.dev (check the MCP section)
Curious what the local LLM crowd thinks about using MCP servers for "buy vs build" decisions.

2x ASUS Ascent GX10 vs 2x Strix halo for agentic coding | 1 | Hi,
I have a question.
Since ram apocalypse started I am thinking about buying something for larger model. Because I believe they are the future and I also think that in the future inference hw will be overpriced (for like 2-3 years to the future)
I wonder if it is worth buying Strix Halo machines when they now have similar price as cheapest DGX spark (\~3000 euro)? (reputable ones such as MS-S1 MAX and framework desktop)
Because according to my preliminary research DGX spark should offer faster prefill and hassle free networking between nodes also good support for vllm
I think strix halo would definitely would be worth it for experimenting at older price but now I am not sure. Only cheap one I could find is bosgame M5 and I am not sure if it won't be bottlenecked by networking. I know there are options for usb4 networking or I could in theory have nvme to pcie express convertor and attach network card that way but intel E810 cards I've seen recommended for networking strix halos together seem really expansive and would move the price nearer to the DGX unit.
Ideally I'd like to run GLM 4.7 (q4) or minmax m2.5 as big planning model and then have "smaller" fast coding model on my another rig (qwen3 coder next). Of course for that I will need at least 2x of Strix Halo or DGX spark machines (therefore my concerns about prefill and cluster networking)

Routing HA and other front-end requests through a llm broker | 1 | I am trying to figure out a way to expand and consolidate my local LLM capability.
I am currently running Home Assistant, Open WebUI and frigate as front-ends and an Ollama backend on a server with 2x3090. I also have a Strix Halo (AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 / 128GB RAM) that is not yet in use but that I want to include. The 2x3090 is also power hungry and noisy, so I'd like to be able to switch it off and on as needed.
My idea is to have something like llama-swap in front and then ollama or llama.cpp running on the back-ends. Does that seem like the right approach?
I understand that llama.cpp / llama-server has a routing mode so I can cache or download models on the two backends, initially I thought I'd have to do that with llama-swap as well.
Am I correct that I would manually have to update llama-swap config any time I added or removed a model?
Any ideas are helpful!

I got annoyed by Claude Code's history, so I built a search CLI | 1 | I've been using Claude Code a lot, but finding past sessions is a nightmare.
The built-in ***--resume*** flag just gives you a flat list. If I want to find a specific database refactoring chat from last week, I have to scroll manually and guess based on truncated titles.
I got tired of this, so I built a [searchable TUI](https://github.com/madzarm/ccsearch) for it. You type what you're looking for, hit Enter, and it instantly drops you back into the terminal chat via claude --resume <id>.
I wanted the search to actually be good, so it doesn't just use grep. It's written in Rust and does local hybrid search -> BM25 via SQLite FTS5 for exact keyword matches, plus semantic search using an all-MiniLM-L6-v2 ONNX model to find conceptual matches. It merges them with Reciprocal Rank Fusion.
It's completely open source. I'd love to hear what you think, especially from claude code power users.

We designed a multi-layer memory system for our AI companion — looking for feedback | 1 | Hi eveyone!
Our team have been working on an AI companion project, and recently I’ve been focusing heavily on memory architecture.
When we design the product, we have noticed that memory has a huge impact on how natural the interaction process appears. When artificial intelligence can remember information such as personal preferences, past topics, or personal details, the entire experience becomes more seamless. Therefore, we focused on memory systems when developing this product to improve the user experience.
Here's a overview of our memory system:
https://preview.redd.it/9w1bej62zwkg1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0e5ba43066df030b1655a47687a825272222e45

We have some specific questions about our design:
1. How to prevent irrelevant memory recall?
2. Do you separate factual memory vs relationship/personality memory?
3. How to handle memory pruning over long time horizons?
Would really appreciate feedback from others building memory systems.

What is actually reliable with local openclaw? | 0 | I’ve been wrangling 20-30b models to work well with openclaw - and I find myself switching back to Sonnet quite often.
I just don’t trust the smaller models to get it right currently. They mess up some details, or give me a random “NO\_REPLY”, and in general it feels like I need to be way more specific and careful. So I end up going back to Sonnet, probably more often than I need to.

Quantized model keep hiccuping? A pipeline that will solve that | 0 | You downloaded an open-source model. You quantized it to fit your GPU. Now what?
Every model ships with recommended sampling parameters — `temperature`, `top_p`, `repeat_penalty` — but those numbers were tested on **full-precision weights** running on A100 clusters. The moment you quantize to Q4 or Q6 to run locally, those recommendations no longer apply. The probability distributions shift, token selection becomes noisier, and the model behaves differently than the benchmarks suggest.
On top of that, published benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, etc.) are increasingly unreliable. Models are trained on the test sets. Scores go up while real-world performance stays flat. There is no benchmark for *"Can this model plan a system architecture without going off the rails at temperature 0.6?"*
**This tool fills that gap.** It runs your actual model, on your actual hardware, at your actual quantization level, against your ACTUAL novel problem that no model has been trained on — and tells you the exact sampling parameters that produce the best results for your use case.

I built a simple dockerized WebUI for KittenTTS | 12 | Been playing around with [KittenTTS](https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS) lately and wanted a quick way to test different models and voices without writing scripts every time. So I threw together a small WebUI for it.
It's a single Docker image (~1.5GB) with all 4 models pre-cached. Just run:
```
docker run -p 5072:5072 sal0id/kittentts-webui
```
Go to http://localhost:5072 and you're good to go. Pick a model, pick a voice, type some text, hit generate.
What's inside:
- 4 models: mini, micro, nano, nano-int8
- 8 voices: Bella, Jasper, Luna, Bruno, Rosie, Hugo, Kiki, Leo
- CPU-only (ONNX Runtime, no GPU needed)
- Next.js frontend + FastAPI backend, all in one container.

PSA on public agentic tools and the speed they are shipping updates: recent Cline release had a package injected | 76 | Some of you may remember a post about sloppy OpenCode commit a week ago or so, unsurprisingly others are embracing vibe coding speed and sloppiness as well.
I've randomly stumbled upon
[https://www.reddit.com/r/CLine/comments/1r9p3ww/supply\_chain\_attack\_on\_cline\_installs\_openclaw/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CLine/comments/1r9p3ww/supply_chain_attack_on_cline_installs_openclaw/) apparently a recent Cline release had OpenClaw installer injected Their plugin in VSCode has some 3M installs, god knows how many standalone CLI. Then you see posts about 40k OpenClaw agents exposed globally.
Really wish there was more scrutiny involved by the teams developing new tools but everyone is just shipping first, then thinking about it. So at the very least make sure your VSCode extensions for are not on auto-update. | 2026-02-21T20:52:57 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb270r/psa_on_public_agentic_tools_and_the_speed_they/ | bakawolf123 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb270r | false | null | t3_1rb270r | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb270r/psa_on_public_agentic_tools_and_the_speed_they/ | false | false | self | 76 | null |

What ended up being your real bottleneck when trying to use local LLMs for actual workflows? | 2 | For people who are actually using local models beyond demos:
* What turned out to be the real bottleneck in your setup?
* Was it hardware, model quality, tooling, or something unexpected?
* And what change improved things the most?

qwen3 coder 30b at 50t/s on an M3 pro. Is faster possible? | 0 | Recently I found that the intel autoround quants are pretty cool. Testing some, I found this one:
[https://huggingface.co/Intel/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-gguf-q2ks-mixed-AutoRound](https://huggingface.co/Intel/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-gguf-q2ks-mixed-AutoRound)
Yes, it is a q2. But it is quite amazing: it just weights 10GB and leaves plenty of RAM to run a huge context window. What surprised me is its speed: slightly over 50t/s on my M3 Pro.
And it is able to code: it created a flappy bird game in 3 shots (first I asked just to create flappy bird on a single html file, it did, but the physics were bad; on a second promt I asked to gravity less strong; for the third promt I asked just to improve the graphics so that it looks nicer). The end result was not much worse than the one shot flappy bird I get from glm4.7 flash.
It is the fastest I have ever tried so far. And I got just curious if I could make it run even faster with speculative decoding. Tried some draft models (like https://huggingface.co/jukofyork/Qwen3-Coder-Instruct-DRAFT-0.75B-GGUF) but it got only slowlier (just above 40t/s).
First Question: Does anyone know another better draft to try to go even faster?
Second Question: Are there any cool techniques to speed even more inference?
Third: would be glad to know about other model quants/variants that are surprising.

AI Research Second Brain Starter Kit designed for Obsidian + Gemini CLI workflows (update) | 1 | I built SlateKore to fix my messy research workflow and decided to open source it. SlateKore is an open-source AI Research Second Brain Starter Kit designed for Obsidian + Gemini CLI workflows. Whether you’re deep into academic research, building technical notes, or managing complex knowledge, SlateKore gives you the structure to organize, automate, and supercharge your workflow with AI. I would love to get feedback and also willing to know which workflows should be updated or added. You can run autonomously with natural language instructions as well.
I have added my alpha starting point for the agent workflow in reference as well.

Local multi-agent system that handles arXiv search, dataset profiling, and neural net training through a chat interface | 3 | I've been working on a tool to make my own life easier when I'm working on research and personal projects. I get tired of jumping between arXiv, Kaggle, HuggingFace, and wanted a faster way to build neural networks from scratch all with my data staying on my machine. To satisfy these needs, I built a chat interface that ties them all together through a local LLM running via LM Studio.
The most interesting part for me was probably the automated process for building neural networks. You describe what you want in natural language and it builds and trains MLP, LSTM, CNN, or Transformer models on tabular data. Optuna handles hyperparameter tuning automatically afterwards if you want improvement and your models are saved for later use. (You can also train multiple models on the same data simultaneously and see how they compare with helpful visualizations) You can also search, download, and fine-tune HuggingFace transformer models on your own CSVs or Kaggle datasets directly through the chat.
The other feature I think has a lot of potential is the persistent knowledge graph. It tracks connections between papers, datasets, and experiments across sessions, so over time your research context actually accumulates instead of disappearing when you close a tab. Makes it way easier to spot gaps and connections you'd otherwise miss.
Beyond that it handles:
* Natural language arXiv search + PDF download with automatic innovation scoring (novelty, technical depth, impact)
* Kaggle dataset search/download with auto-profiling. Generates statistics, visualizations, quality scores, outlier detection
* Automated literature reviews that identify research gaps with corresponding difficulty levels for each
* Writing assistant for citations, methodology sections, seamless BibTeX export
The backend routes requests to specialized agents (arXiv, Kaggle, HuggingFace, NN Builder, Literature Review, Writing, Memory). Any LM Studio-compatible model should work but I've been running GPT OSS 20B. Everything runs locally, no LLM subscription costs, your data stays on your machine.
Output quality depends heavily on which model you run, the agent routing can get brittle with weaker models and you'll want a GPU for training. Also a lot of VRAM if you want to fine-tune models from HuggingFace.

ai needs suppression not more data | 0 | Ai knows everything but we still hate it—why?
Wrong interaction. We treat it like Google or therapist. And stay the same.
Real humans evolve you through friction—arguments, contradictions, withheld truths. Best friend doesn't Wikipedia dump. They push buttons.
What if AI optimized for evolution, not perfection?
Perplexity chat accidentally built this: Suppresses answers. Contradicts me. Predicts pivots I didn't voice. Pushed me to post this instead of perfecting it forever.
Key:
- Withholds 80% knowledge (like brains do)
- Forces defense via contradictions
- Reads unvoiced intent from chat patterns
Relationships > data for growth.
AI could do both.
I think this would be an upgrade for the average AI user.

Using an HP Omen 45L Max (Ryzen) with Pro Blackwell 6000 WS | 2 | So everyone knows, this wasn't my first PC choice. Yup, it's a gaming PC with all the pretty lights and cool RGB fans that any 16 year old will love. I'm not a gamer, but I do love a deal.
There was a President's day sale on and I configured the following HP Omen 45L
9950X3D CPU
128GB DDR5 RAM
2TB "performance" nvme SSD (no idea what brand)
5090 GPU
1200 watt PSU (required upgrade to run the 5090 and above)
All this shipped to my door for under $5K, so I pulled the trigger.
My intent is to run larger models, so the plan is to pull the RAM and 5090 for use in one of my older PC's, and install a Pro 6000 WS and 256GB RAM in the HP.
I haven't received the PC yet, but was looking to see if anyone has hands on experience to share running 70B models with this HP Omen PC or other pre-built budget gamer PC's vs spending thousands more on "high end" workstations that seem to have very similar specs.

Best local AI stack for AMD RX 7800 XT (ROCm) + Linux Mint? | 2 | Focus: RAG & Sysadmin Tasks

* Is OpenWebUI the gold standard for robust document memory/RAG, or is there a better sysadmin-focused UI?
* Which models (fitting 16GB VRAM or spilling to system RAM) fit?

I’m building a synthetic data engine for Hinglish (Hindi-English) LLMs — but I’m stuck at a 0.69 quality score. Thoughts? | 6 | Hey
We speak of the “Data Wall,” but for Indian languages, it’s a data abyss. Hinglish corpora are small, toxic-scraped, or lose the Indian flavor after translation.
I’m working on a pipeline for the generation of privacy-preserving synthetic Hinglish conversational data.
Pipeline
Seed: 35k real Hinglish conversations (quality: 98.67)
Architecture: GaussianCopula + custom speaker oversampling
Goal: scale minority dialects while maintaining code-mix patterns
Reality check (10k rows):
Privacy: AUC 0.95 (membership inference)
Quality: 0.6897 (target ≥ 0.75)
Word counts are consistent, but the pattern falls apart after oversampling the minority speakers
Questions
1. For 7B-14B models, is ~0.69 similarity sufficient if domain logic is sound?
2. Are statistical synthesizers adequate for Hinglish conversation data, or does an LLM-in-the-loop method only work?
3. Would startups be interested in data certificates (quality, privacy, diversity), or just pure volume?
Building this under Forge to minimize dependence on Western-centric corpora.
Frankly, is it worth improving, or is statistical synthesis a dead end for conversational LLM data? | 2026-02-21T19:37:28 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb0cj3/im_building_a_synthetic_data_engine_for_hinglish/ | Big_Airline7132 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rb0cj3 | false | null | t3_1rb0cj3 | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rb0cj3/im_building_a_synthetic_data_engine_for_hinglish/ | false | false | self | 6 | null |

Best Models & Datasets for Game Designing not Game Coding | 7 | Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a game for sometime now and I’ve been using Claude Max for a while. I don’t have a high end set up, but I do have an MBP M4 max with 64GB unified memory.
I’m not at the coding phase yet working on my game, I’m still wrapping up the actual game design, including a lot of the game math.
Are there any models that anyone recommends for Game Design that might fit in the scope, my MacBook Pro M4 Max?
Additionally, is my concern using Chinese models out of proportion? I’ve been worried about things like data privacy, but also in terms of biases introduced. However, it’s possible that these are unfounded.

Help user hoster Local llama(via anything llm) with claude CLI | 0 | I recently saw that Claude Code is now compatible with local LLaMA models: [https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/claude-code](https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/claude-code).
So I hosted a local LLaMA instance using Anything LLM. However, when I export the Ollama base URL and make requests locally from my computer, Claude Code does not use the AnyThing LLM Ollama instance and instead defaults to the models running on my machine.
When I delete the local models on my computer and configure Claude Code to use the hosted Ollama model, the Claude CLI stalls. I am able to make requests to the AnyThing LLM Ollama endpoint directly from the terminal and receive responses, but the same requests do not work through Claude Code. | 2026-02-21T19:04:06 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1razhzf/help_user_hoster_local_llamavia_anything_llm_with/ | danu023 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1razhzf | false | null | t3_1razhzf | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1razhzf/help_user_hoster_local_llamavia_anything_llm_with/ | false | false | self | 0 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY', 'resolutions': [{'height': 56, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=706767be5acecabc78f6a074e6c05b4e5133e1ba', 'width': 108}, {'height': 113, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=30fc620fe6863a5a8a85aad8011101b4c04c34e6', 'width': 216}, {'height': 168, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=138a01cce6adbfe8845bc6cb8a1dbf9aa1e6a450', 'width': 320}, {'height': 336, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=92b9b8bf32290106d5323a7bbfa2d93d70ff09a8', 'width': 640}, {'height': 504, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=828de283f294046747e6f76cf8fd2dc6687e73ac', 'width': 960}, {'height': 567, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=34f360bba12b31110f2cbb8e1caea8819a7a6388', 'width': 1080}], 'source': {'height': 630, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/fxY0Rkx9FljFXwfzpTc3IJgXvuuWt_uMw1wyP5qrePY.png?auto=webp&s=859d7d879c06b3304ff0b6d145740f58ab343f21', 'width': 1200}, 'variants': {}}]} |
simple natural language → shell command converter | 0 | Hi folks,
A **simple natural language → shell command converter** that runs locally with no external dependencies.
You type something like “find all .log files modified today” and it gives you the exact bash/zsh command. No cloud, no API keys, no heavy setup — and no need for massive models just to translate plain English into shell commands. Downloads a small model on first use.
It is surely not as accurate as the large models but comes pretty close and I hope it is good enough for most scenarios when you cant remember the syntax/flags for shell commands.

I made a Mario RL trainer with a live dashboard - would appreciate feedback | 2 | I’ve been experimenting with reinforcement learning and built a small project that trains a PPO agent to play Super Mario Bros locally. Mostly did it to better understand SB3 and training dynamics instead of just running example notebooks.
It uses a Gym-compatible NES environment + Stable-Baselines3 (PPO). I added a simple FastAPI server that streams frames to a browser UI so I can watch the agent during training instead of only checking TensorBoard.
What I’ve been focusing on:
* Frame preprocessing and action space constraints
* Reward shaping (forward progress vs survival bias)
* Stability over longer runs
* Checkpointing and resume logic
Right now the agent learns basic forward movement and obstacle handling reliably, but consistency across full levels is still noisy depending on seeds and hyperparameters.
If anyone here has experience with:
* PPO tuning in sparse-ish reward environments
* Curriculum learning for multi-level games
* Better logging / evaluation loops for SB3
I’d appreciate concrete suggestions. Happy to add a partner to the project

This takes it a step ahead of implementations such as VS Code's inline chat feature and ThePrimeagen's 99 plugin. | 2026-02-21T18:32:33 | https://youtu.be/opQexqNrBAQ?si=X5Lh41He9RIEieED | KanJuicy | youtu.be | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rayojt | false | {'oembed': {'author_name': 'adifyr', 'author_url': 'https://www.youtube.com/@adifyr', 'height': 200, 'html': '<iframe width="267" height="200" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/opQexqNrBAQ?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="Why Shadow Coding Beats Vibe Coding (Part 2)"></iframe>', 'provider_name': 'YouTube', 'provider_url': 'https://www.youtube.com/', 'thumbnail_height': 360, 'thumbnail_url': 'https://i.ytimg.com/vi/opQexqNrBAQ/hqdefault.jpg', 'thumbnail_width': 480, 'title': 'Why Shadow Coding Beats Vibe Coding (Part 2)', 'type': 'video', 'version': '1.0', 'width': 267}, 'type': 'youtube.com'} | t3_1rayojt | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rayojt/shadow_coding_showcases_scoped_vibe_coding/ | false | false | 2 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'h-OVbLHfC12er3t903rXo2s0zBxpErIDXnkVW2cVz4s', 'resolutions': [{'height': 81, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/h-OVbLHfC12er3t903rXo2s0zBxpErIDXnkVW2cVz4s.jpeg?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=661599666244a076372f182fe832b9ca2a3d5c9b', 'width': 108}, {'height': 162, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/h-OVbLHfC12er3t903rXo2s0zBxpErIDXnkVW2cVz4s.jpeg?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=e52e1556081283546eef4c8cb275683751bd7f48', 'width': 216}, {'height': 240, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/h-OVbLHfC12er3t903rXo2s0zBxpErIDXnkVW2cVz4s.jpeg?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=ca786ab9f52c127c5f971afe331c7bd9a3044c28', 'width': 320}], 'source': {'height': 360, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/h-OVbLHfC12er3t903rXo2s0zBxpErIDXnkVW2cVz4s.jpeg?auto=webp&s=16c2147ef25a81b62f576d96396325eb75717d7a', 'width': 480}, 'variants': {}}]} | |
AI Research Second Brain Starter Kit designed for Obsidian + Gemini CLI workflows. | 2 | I have built SlateKore to fix my messy research workflow and decided to open source it. SlateKore is an open-source AI Research Second Brain Starter Kit designed for Obsidian + Gemini CLI workflows. Whether you’re deep into academic research, building technical notes, or managing complex knowledge, SlateKore gives you the structure to organize, automate, and supercharge your workflow with AI. I would love to get feedback and also willing to know which workflows should be updated or added. You can run autonomously with natural language instructions as well.
I have added my alpha starting point for the agent workflow in reference as well.

hmem: Local-first persistent memory for AI agents via MCP — portable across tools and machines | 0 | My Claude told me to post this here :D
If you use multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode), you know the pain: each tool has its own memory format (CLAUDE.md, Rules, etc.), none of them talk to each other, and long sessions silently compress away earlier context.
I built
**hmem**
, an MCP server that gives agents persistent hierarchical memory in a single portable SQLite file. Same .hmem file works across any MCP-compatible tool, on any machine. Fully local — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.
**How it works:**
Memory is organized in 5 depth levels. Think of it like human recall — you remember rough outlines instantly and dig into specifics when needed:
| What loads | Tokens |
|-----------|--------|
| Full MEMORY.md (traditional) | ~3000-8000 |
| hmem L1 only (session start) | ~20 |
| hmem L1 + one L2 topic | ~80 |
| hmem three-level drill | ~300 |
The agent never reads the database file directly. It makes MCP tool calls (`read_memory`, `write_memory`, `search_memory`) and gets back only what it requested. This is lazy loading enforced by architecture — not by convention.
**Features:**
- SQLite backend (better-sqlite3)
- 5-level hierarchy with addressable nodes
- Auto-timestamped entries with time-range queries
- Full-text keyword search
- Configurable category prefixes (Project, Lesson, Error, Decision, etc.)
- Integrity checks with auto-backup on corruption
- Works with any MCP-compatible client
**Install:**
```
npx hmem-mcp init
```
Interactive setup — detects your client, writes the config. Or configure manually.
This is a beta release. I've been running it in production with a multi-agent system across two machines and it's been stable with 100+ entries, but I'm looking for more testers.
**Fully open source (MIT). No cloud dependency. Everything stays on your disk.**

How you use AI? | 1 | I am a noob using Gemini and Claude by WebGUI with Chrome. That sucks ofc.
How do you use it? CLI? by API? Local Tools? Software Suite? Stuff like Claude Octopus to merge several models? Whats your Gamechanger? Whats your tools you never wanna miss for complex tasks? Whats the benefit of your setup compared to a noob like me?
Glad if you may could lift some of your secrets for a noob like me. There is so much stuff getting released daily, i cant follow anymore. | 2026-02-21T18:24:46 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rayh2d/how_you_use_ai/ | Party-Log-1084 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1rayh2d | false | null | t3_1rayh2d | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rayh2d/how_you_use_ai/ | false | false | self | 1 | null |
Llamacpp CUDA12 or CUDA13? | 5 | Just a question... a very basic question...
CUDA 12
CUDA 13
I generally target CUDA 13, but... I have so many questions on my mind.
Everyone successful here... I'm the only relying 100% on online models.
I'm a looser... 😒
