Codex uses 50x tokens vs Opencode | 0 | So built this swift app with entirely local Minimax + Opencode, did pretty well but just couldn't crack really annoying bug with drawing over scaled images.. Wasted few hours. The WHOLE thing took 100 mil tokens over 2 days, 15-20 sessions.
Gave up and put Codex on it with GPT 5 medium effort, solved it in 3 shots, 1 session. No big surprise. The surprize came in usage. 17mil tokens. And its not about the money at all. But how much data crunching they did to solve a bug. While I'm certain they're totally cooking the usage numbers let's say by 2-5 times, there is still an order of magnitude difference with opencode. Your argument could be - but they had to look at the whole codebase.. But remember, Minimax was used across 20x sessions and they had to load a lot of code base for the context in each as well. Lots of those sesions were close to 200k context limit and doing compacts on the way/running sub agents.
My thesis here is - there is a lot of upside to local agentic performance based of workflow alone. After using Codex, Claude Code and Opencode pretty extensively, the closed ones have much more sophisticated validations and try longer by default. They haven't been that way even 6 months ago, but last few months they consistently more autonomous before spitting out the answer or saying they are ready. And Opencode is not, at lest not by default. The level of "trying" I'd say is CC in July 2025.
I could be wrong. Curious to hear your thoughts and how do you make your local coding setups trying much harder / run more validations by default.
Btw, looked into oh-my-opencode.. They have a bug that doesn't allow setting local model for their main brain agent. Otherwise results weren't much different from vanilla Opencode with compact, search and context7. I'm also aware CC can run locally and I've done this, but it seems like some requests still go do the cloud, at least searches, so the testing was limited. Just recently heard Codex is open-source and will give it a shot with local if possible. | 2026-01-17T15:57:19 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qfgtbc/codex_uses_50x_tokens_vs_opencode/ | val_in_tech | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qfgtbc | false | null | t3_1qfgtbc | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qfgtbc/codex_uses_50x_tokens_vs_opencode/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |
MCP server that gives local LLMs memory, file access, and a 'conscience' - 100% offline on Apple Silicon | 63 | Been working on this for a few weeks and finally got it stable enough to share.
**The problem I wanted to solve:**
* Local LLMs are stateless - they forget everything between sessions
* No governance - they'll execute whatever you ask without reflection
* Chat interfaces don't give them "hands" to actually do things
**What I built:**
A stack that runs entirely on my Mac Studio M2 Ultra:
LM Studio (chat interface)
β
Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B (MLX, 4-bit)
β
Temple Bridge (MCP server)
β
βββββββββββββββββββ¬βββββββββββββββββββ
β BTB β Threshold β
β (filesystem β (governance β
β operations) β protocols) β
βββββββββββββββββββ΄βββββββββββββββββββ
**What the AI can actually do:**
* Read/write files in a sandboxed directory
* Execute commands (pytest, git, ls, etc.) with an allowlist
* Consult "threshold protocols" before taking actions
* Log its entire cognitive journey to a JSONL file
* **Ask for my approval before executing anything dangerous**
**The key insight:** The filesystem itself becomes the AI's memory. Directory structure = classification. File routing = inference. No vector database needed.
**Why Hermes-3?** Tested a bunch of models for MCP tool calling. Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B was the most stable - no infinite loops, reliable structured output, actually follows the tool schema.
**The governance piece:** Before execution, the AI consults governance protocols and reflects on what it's about to do. When it wants to run a command, I get an approval popup in LM Studio. I'm the "threshold witness" - nothing executes without my explicit OK.
**Real-time monitoring:**
bash
tail -f spiral_journey.jsonl | jq
Shows every tool call, what phase of reasoning the AI is in, timestamps, the whole cognitive trace.
**Performance:** On M2 Ultra with 36GB unified memory, responses are fast. The MCP overhead is negligible.
**Repos (all MIT licensed):**
* [temple-bridge](https://github.com/templetwo/temple-bridge) \- The MCP server that binds it together
* [back-to-the-basics](https://github.com/templetwo/back-to-the-basics) \- Filesystem-as-circuit paradigm
* [threshold-protocols](https://github.com/templetwo/threshold-protocols) \- Governance framework
**Setup is straightforward:**
1. Clone the three repos
2. `uv sync` in temple-bridge
3. Add the MCP config to `~/.lmstudio/mcp.json`
4. Load Hermes-3 in LM Studio
5. Paste the system prompt
6. Done
Full instructions in the README.
**What's next:** Working on "governed derive" - the AI can propose filesystem reorganizations based on usage patterns, but only executes after human approval. The goal is AI that can self-organize but with structural restraint built in.
Happy to answer questions. This was a multi-week collaboration between me and several AI systems (Claude, Gemini, Grok) - they helped architect it, I implemented and tested. The lineage is documented in [ARCHITECTS.md](http://ARCHITECTS.md) if anyone's curious about the process.

Follow-up to my earlier post about DOM-pruning for local browser agents with QWen 2.5 3B | 2 | [Screenshot from my test runs](https://preview.redd.it/3lhfc2cpixdg1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc925fb193838e6a384293e75b2fe8b0a0a276ed)
Follow-up to my earlier post about DOM-pruning for local browser agents (https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qcxllu/i_built_a_dompruning_engine_to_run_reliable/).
This time I wanted to share concrete numbers + a fully runnable demo.
Iβve been experimenting with browser agents using small local models (Qwen 2.5 3B),
and measured how far you can push them without vision models.
The key change was switching from screenshots β structure-first snapshots
(semantic DOM + geometry + grouping/ordinality) and adding machine-verifiable assertion/verification instead of retries or using vision model to verify.
Demo:
- Task: Open the top βShow HNβ post
- Model: Qwen 2.5 3B (local)
- Vision: disabled
- Tokens: ~0.6k per step (50%+ lower than vision-based runs)
- Result: deterministic PASS, zero retries using assertions such as url_contains
Runnable code + logs:
https://github.com/SentienceAPI/sentience-sdk-playground/tree/main/news_list_skimming
What surprised me:
- Ordinality (βfirstβ, βtopβ) breaks vision agents constantly
- Once structure is explicit, the model barely has to reason
Iβve also run this on SPA login flows and even Amazon;
happy to share those if people are interested.

Is Your LLM Ignoring You? Here's Why (And How to Fix It) | 0 | Been building a 1,500+ line AI assistant prompt. Instructions buried deep kept getting ignored, not all of them, just the ones past the first few hundred lines.
Spent a week figuring out why. Turns out the model often starts responding before it finishes processing the whole document. - sometimes it simply ignores valuable context, lost in the sauce.
The fix: TOC at the top that routes to relevant sections based on keywords. Model gets a map before it starts processing, loads only what it needs. You can then direct the model to specific context or instructions with a keyword.
Works for any large prompt doc - PRDs, specs, behavioral systems.

Can RAG Work Without Chunking or Embeddings? Has Anyone Actually Made It Work in Production? | 4 | With the release of the new paper βRecursive Language Models,β Iβve seen a lot of people saying that traditional RAG pipelines are basically obsolete. The claim is that we no longer need chunking or classic retrieval. Instead, the idea is to let LLMs execute code to search large document collections and jump straight to the exact context they want, kind of like how humans use Ctrl+F.
The paper itself points out some issues though, like models getting stuck in loops and higher execution costs. Iβve also seen suggestions to build agents with access to tools like grep to fetch the right parts of documents directly and answer from there. It sounds cool, but Iβm skeptical about using this in production due to latency and reliability concerns. Still, it made me curious if anyone has actually tried something like this in practice.
So Iβm wondering, has anyone here built a successful RAG system without chunking or even embeddings? If yes, Iβd love to hear how you approached it. Or do you think chunking is just here to stay?
For context, Iβm currently working on a RAG system for legal documents. The docs are structured, but they have deeply nested sections and tons of cross references within the same document. Designing a chunking strategy has been painful. Even section or hierarchy based chunking breaks things, because nested sections get split up and one chunk might reference something that lives in a completely different chunk. At this point I really wish I could just skip chunking altogether.
If thatβs unrealistic, Iβd appreciate any suggestions on handling documents like this. I know heavy use of metadata is part of the answer, but it feels like that only gets me so far

Built a desktop AI coding agent that runs fully offline with Ollama / LM Studio | 0 | Hey folks,
I just launched **Atlarix v1.0**, a **local-first AI coding agent** designed to run entirely on your machine.
Key points relevant here:
* Supports **fully offline** usage via Ollama / LM Studio
* No cloud dependency required
* Agent can run terminal commands, read errors, and debug code in loops
* Uses local embeddings + a local SQLite vector store for context
Cloud APIs are optional (BYOK via OpenRouter), not required.
I built this because I wanted agentic workflows *without* sending my code or prompts anywhere by default.

Hardware Question - GeForce RTX 5060/5070 Ti | 1 | So I am looking at GPUs .. but not able and willing to shell out 3K.
I want to do local work, especially:
\- text generation
\- fine tuning
\- image generation (comfy UI)

Can these be combined, as in two of them?

I implemented a GPT-style model from scratch using PyTorch while reading Sebastian Raschka's book | 10 | I've spent the last few weeks building a GPT-style LLM entirely from scratch in PyTorch to understand the architecture. This isn't just a wrapper; it's a full implementation covering the entire lifecycle from tokenization to instruction fine-tuning.
I have followed Sebastian Raschka's 'Build a LLM from Scratch' book for the implementation, here is the breakdown of the repo:
**1. Data & Tokenization (**`src/data.py`**)** Instead of using pre-built tokenizers, I implemented:
* `SimpleTokenizerV2`: Handles regex-based splitting and special tokens (`<|endoftext|>`, `<|unk|>`).
* `GPTDatasetV1`: A sliding-window dataset implementation for efficient autoregressive training.
**2. The Attention Mechanism (**`src/attention.py`**)**
I manually implemented `MultiHeadAttention` to understand the tensor math:
* Handles the query/key/value projections and splitting heads.
* Implements the **Causal Mask** (using `register_buffer`) to prevent the model from "cheating" by seeing future tokens.
* Includes `SpatialDropout` and scaled dot-product attention.
**3. The GPT Architecture (**`src/model.py`**)** A complete 124M parameter model assembly:
* Combines `TransformerBlock`, `LayerNorm`, and `GELU` activations.
* Features positional embeddings and residual connections exactly matching the GPT-2 spec.
**4. Training & Generation (**`src/train.py`**)**
* Custom training loop with loss visualization.
* Implements `generate()` with **Top-K sampling** and **Temperature scaling** to control output creativity.
**5. Fine-tuning:**
* **Classification (**`src/finetune_classification.py`**):** Adapted the backbone to detect Spam/Ham messages (90%+ accuracy on the test set).
* **Instruction Tuning (**`src/finetune_instructions.py`**):** Implemented an Alpaca-style training loop. The model can now handle instruction-response pairs rather than just completing text.

KoboldCpp v1.106 finally adds MCP server support, drop-in replacement for Claude Desktop | 100 | So, it's been a hot minute, but I thought I'd share this here since it's quite a big new feature.
Yes, KoboldCpp is still alive and kicking. And besides the major UI overhaul, we've finally added native MCP support in KoboldCpp v1.106! It's designed to be a painless Claude Desktop drop-in replacement with maximum compatibility, the `mcp.json` uses the same format so you can swap it in easily.
The KoboldCpp MCP bridge will connect to all provided MCP servers (HTTP and STDIO transports both supported) and automatically forward requests for tools the AI selects to the correct MCP server. This MCP bridge can also be used by third party clients.
On the frontend side, you can fetch the list of all tools from all servers, select the tools you want to let AI use, and optionally enable tool call approvals.
Some demo screenshots of various tool servers being used:

A correct answer could be:
`import numpy as np`
`# arr is your float128 array`
`formatted_list = np.array2string(`
`arr,`
`separator=', ',`
`formatter={'longfloat': lambda x: f"'{np.format_float_scientific(x)}'"}`
`)`
`print(f"np.array({formatted_list}, dtype=np.longdouble)")`

Anyone running multi RAG at +1M docs using topic segmented retrievers? (multi-RAG / routing setups) | 3 | Hey everyone,
Iβm currently working on a RAG system thatβs getting close to \~1M documents total.
Flat vector search is obviously falling apart(50-60% diminished output), so Iβm considering a topic-segmented setup:
β’ \~10 topics
β’ \~100k docs per topic
β’ Each topic has its own retriever / RAG index
β’ A routing layer decides which topic(s) to query
β’ Results get merged + reranked β final answer
I am trying testing LangChainβs MultiRetrievalQAChain and LlamaIndex routers, but Iβm curious about real-world deployments, not demos.

I spent the last week deconstructing the math behind Mambaβs "Selection Mechanism" (Delta-Gating). Here is the intuition + derivation. | 10 | Like many of you, Iβve been fascinated by how Mamba challenges the Transformer architecture. However, while the high-level concept (Selective State Spaces) makes sense, I found the actual mathematical bridgeβspecifically how the continuous-time system is discretized using the "Delta" parameter to become input-dependentβpretty dense in the original paper.
I decided to break it down step-by-step to really understand the "proof" behind the intuition.
**The Core Insight:** The magic lies in how `Delta` acts as a gatekeeper. In standard SSMs, the transition is constant (Linear Time Invariant). In Mamba, `Delta` becomes a function of the input `x_t`.
* **Intuitively:** It dictates how much of the *current* input affects the *new* state versus how much of the *old* state is preserved.
* **Mathematically:** When we discretize the continuous ODE using the Zero-Order Hold (ZOH) method, `Delta` scales the A and B matrices. Because `Delta` is now dynamic (input-dependent), the entire system becomes time-variant. This kills the ability to use convolutions (FFTs) for training, but it allows the model to "select" what to remember and what to ignore in a sequence.
I wrote up a full deep dive that goes through the discretization math, the "Scan" operation, and the architectural comparison to Transformers.
If you are struggling to connect the intuition to the actual equations, you might find this helpful: [**https://pub.towardsai.net/mamba-from-intuition-to-proof-how-delta-gated-state-space-models-challenges-the-transformer-278282803562**](https://pub.towardsai.net/mamba-from-intuition-to-proof-how-delta-gated-state-space-models-challenges-the-transformer-278282803562)
Iβd love to hear if this aligns with how you visualize the Delta mechanism, or if I missed any nuance in the derivation. | 2026-01-17T09:23:17 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8tpd/i_spent_the_last_week_deconstructing_the_math/ | No_Ask_1623 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qf8tpd | false | null | t3_1qf8tpd | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8tpd/i_spent_the_last_week_deconstructing_the_math/ | false | false | self | 10 | null |
Need to upgrade my 5yo Legion: RTX 5090 (24GB) Laptop or MacBook M4/M5 Max (64GB+) for AI engineering? | 0 | Hi everyone,
Iβm looking to replace my aging laptop and Iβm facing a tough choice. Iβve been a happy user of a Lenovo Legion 5 (GTX 1650 Ti, 4GB vRAM) for over 5 years. Itβs been my reliable daily driver for backend development and light gaming, but it's time to move on.
The Problem: Iβve recently started working with local LLMs (integrating them into backend systems). My current 4GB vRAM is a massive bottleneck - waiting minutes for inference because models donβt fit into memory is killing my workflow. I need a machine that can handle this locally, as I don't want to rely on APIs or cloud services for privacy.
**Important**: I need a mobile laptop, not a desktop workstation. I move around a lot and need my entire environment with me.
I am torn between staying with the Legion family or jumping ship to Apple:
1. Lenovo Legion Pro 7 with RTX 5090 (24GB vRAM)
2. MacBook Pro (M4 Max or upcoming M5 Max) with at least 64GB RAM
# My Concerns:
The Legion (The Familiar Path):
* Pros: Native Linux support (my daily driver), dedicated vRAM, and native Docker performance.
* Cons: Fan noise. My current Legion is already loud enough, and Iβm worried a 5090 model will be unbearable under load. I've also heard arguments that Legions are "just for gaming," while I need a stable professional environment.
The MacBook (The New Territory):
* Pros: Outstanding build quality, silent operation, and the benefits of Unified Memory for larger models.
* Cons: Iβve read mixed reviewsβsome say MacBooks aren't ideal for certain local LLM tasks (like specific code completion setups). Iβm also worried if 64GB of shared RAM can truly handle a heavy backend stack (Docker, IDE, browser) and LLM inference simultaneously without swapping.
# The Dilemma:
My heart wants to try the MacBook (I've been curious about it for years), but my brain is worried about leaving Linux and the potential limitations of the shared memory architecture compared to a dedicated Nvidia card. On the other hand, I fear the noise and "gaming-centric" nature of the new Legion might make me regret the purchase.
Has anyone here moved from an older Legion (or similar Linux laptop) to a Mac for LLM work? Is the 24GB vRAM on the 5090 a safer bet, or is the MacBook's silence and memory capacity worth the switch?
Iβd love to hear your thoughts, especially from fellow devs. Thanks! | 2026-01-17T09:18:05 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8qoz/need_to_upgrade_my_5yo_legion_rtx_5090_24gb/ | rrrjjj9307 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qf8qoz | false | null | t3_1qf8qoz | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8qoz/need_to_upgrade_my_5yo_legion_rtx_5090_24gb/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |

What tools that more openai compatible could get me behavior like ollama? | 0 | I need the ability to run local quantozed models, one at a time (with switching based on the model in the request), some will fit in vram, some will be offloaded to cpu, and I want the api to be as close as possible to vllm with litellm chat/completion (what production for my app uses)
I've tried using sonnet and Gemini to create something but it just doesn't work, it was suppose to load and unload dynamically
Using ollama, I have a lot of problems with its api, either tools or reasoning doing problems not getting registered in litellm (python)
If there is not simple solutions, I'll probably end up having special code for ollama which is separate from the litellm production endpoint

NeuTTS Android APK Sample - Local Inference (Nano Model) | 6 | Latest release available here: [github.com/lookbe/neutts-unity-example/releases](https://github.com/lookbe/neutts-unity-example/releases)
Iβve put together a sample APK for **NeuTTS** on Android. It is a slimmed-down build focused on on-device performance using the Nano model.
**Installation Guide (Manual OBB Setup):** Since this uses the expansion file system, you must place the data files manually using a PC:
1. **Download** the APK and both OBB files from the link above.
2. **Install** the APK on your phone (but do not open it yet).
3. **Connect** your phone to a PC via USB.
4. **Navigate** to: `Internal Storage/Android/obb/`
5. **Create** a new folder named exactly: `com.lookbe.neutts`
6. **Copy** both OBB files into that folder.
**Technical Details:**
* **Model:** NeuTTS Nano (lowest model size due to storage/APK limits).
* **Precision:** Int8 Quantized Decoder for mobile CPU efficiency.
* **Phonemizer:** Open Phonemizer (eSpeak has been removed).
* **Assets:** Reference samples and model are packed into the app/OBB.
**Known Issues:**
* **Legacy OBB:** Might not work on some newer Android versions or specific devices due to how legacy expansion files are handled.
* **Model Tier:** Uses the lowest model to ensure compatibility with mobile hardware constraints. | 2026-01-17T09:01:11 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8gw6/neutts_android_apk_sample_local_inference_nano/ | RowGroundbreaking982 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qf8gw6 | false | null | t3_1qf8gw6 | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qf8gw6/neutts_android_apk_sample_local_inference_nano/ | false | false | self | 6 | null |
Qwen2.5-VL-3B LoRA fine-tune causes repetition loops | 3 | I fine-tuned Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct with LoRA on video reasoning samples with chain-of-thought.

LoRA (r=32, Ξ±=32, dropout=0.1), lr=5e-5, 1 epoch. Vision encoder frozen. Inference uses temperature=0.9 and repetition\_penalty=1.1.

Recursive Data Cleaner - LLM-powered data cleaning that writes itself | 0 | Cleaning messy data is tedious. You write regex, handle edge cases, discover new issues, repeat. For large datasets, this cycle burns hours of human attention.
I built a tool that trades compute time for human time. Point it at your messy JSONL/CSV/text file with some instructions, walk away, and come back to a working `cleaning_functions.py`.
How it works:
\- Chunks your data to fit LLM context windows
\- Analyzes each chunk, identifies one issue at a time
\- Generates a Python function to fix it
\- Validates on holdout data before accepting
\- Feeds function docstrings back into context so it knows what's already solved
\- Stops early when patterns saturate
The philosophy: keep it simple, use stdlib over dependencies, let the LLM make decisions about data it understands. The whole thing is about 3,000 lines of Python with one external dependency (tenacity for retries).
Tested it on a 750KB text file extracted from a PDF. It processed 196 chunks, detected pattern saturation at chunk 20, and generated 7 cleaning functions that fixed 1,100 hyphenated line breaks, removed 400+ page numbers, and handled various whitespace issues.

DeepSeek Engram : A static memory unit for LLMs | 306 | DeeepSeek AI released a new paper titled "Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large LanguageΒ Models" introducing Engram. The key idea: instead of recomputing static knowledge (like entities, facts, or patterns) every time through expensive transformer layers, Engram **adds native memory lookup**.
Think of it as separating **remembering from reasoning**. Traditional MoE focuses on conditional computation, Engram introduces **conditional memory**. Together, they let LLMs reason deeper, handle long contexts better, and offload early-layer compute from GPUs.
**Key highlights:**
* Knowledge is **looked up in O(1)** instead of recomputed.
* Uses **explicit parametric memory** vs implicit weights only.
* Improves reasoning, math, and code performance.
* Enables massive memory scaling **without GPU limits**.
* Frees attention for **global reasoning** rather than static knowledge.

[Project] SLRM-nD: 50D Galactic Stress Test - 1000 points synthesized into 1 Master Sector in <150s (No Backprop) | 7 | Following up on my previous technical discussions, I've just released a stress test demo.
Current Results:
\- Dimension: 50D
\- Data: 1,000 vectors
\- Synthesis: 100% (Unified into 1 Master Sector)
\- Logic: Simplex Sectoring (Zero training loss)
\- Environment: Python/NumPy (CPU only)
This architecture (SLRM-nD) is designed for deterministic high-dimensional mapping where traditional gradient descent is either too slow or prone to hallucination.

Which would be a cost efficient GPU for running local LLMs | 2 | I am learning to run local LLMs and i don't have a GPU yet in one of my machines which has an Ryzen 7600X 32GB DDR5 system. I was thinking of getting an RX 7900 XTX since it has 24GB of VRAM. I will upgrade the RAM maybe after it comes back to lower prices definitely not now.
I will be running smaller models like maybe less than 10B parameters for writing code or maybe doing small summarising tasks or research. I was thinking of getting the 7900 XTX only because that was the cheaper card with this much VRAM in my perspective. Please shed me some light of if I am going the right path or maybe i can look at different options. Need help on this.
I am from India and prices are way too much for nvidia cards.

How to add a locally hosted AI assistant to a self-hosted react js webapp, and which model to chose. | 3 | Hello everyone! I am currently in the process of developing a webapp that I am going to be hosting on my own servers. It is primarily for data entry and analytics for commercial systems and I have been tossing around the idea of implementing an AI assistant that can help with queries, analytics, and autofill. I'm building the frontend app in react js with the backend server running ubuntu (this server can be configured and scaled to fit the model, so the required compute power for the model is not too big an issue). I'm also tossing around the idea of implementing an OCR so it can analyze pdfs as well and extract data from them. Do any of you all have suggestions on where to get started with setting up a local LLM for this purpose? And if so, what models would yall recommend?

Anyone else running multiple AI tools on the same repo and constantly stepping on rakes? | 0 | I keep running into a frustrating workflow issue and Iβm wondering if itβs just me.
I regularly bounce between multiple AI-assisted tools on the *same repo* (e.g. Cursor, Windsurf, web ChatGPT/Claude), sometimes even at the same time. Even when Iβm careful about branches, things still go sideways more often than Iβd like.
A few examples of what keeps biting me:
* One tool is on `main`, another is on a feature branch and I donβt realize until something breaks
* Git ops collide (rebase / push while another tool is mid-change)
* I agree on an approach in one chat, then another tool confidently does something different
* **Builds/tests fail or migrations error out in one tool, but the other tool keeps coding like everything is green**
* Dev servers / terminals / ports multiply and I lose track of whatβs actually running
* Switching tools mid-refactor and realizing half the files are in some weird in-between state
Curious:
* Do you use more than one AI tool/IDE on the same codebase?

Which llama cpp version and model? | 0 | I have 48gb vram and 192gb ddr4 ram with epyc cpu. running popos 22.04 and cuda 12.8. i have few questions-
1. which llama cpp do i need to install to get maximum juice out of my system? or any other alternative?
2. which coding model will be good specially for swift.
3. If llama cpp, can i just start server and access it from other system in my local network? like comfyui does. As i stated in one my previous posts here i have been able to do this with oobabooga(just adding βlisten flag and launch). but i am not sure if it can manage all the resources my system has. need to clarify this.

Series 1 Topic 1. Direct answers. How I killed politeness and filler. | 0 | Previous post : [ https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/sJ65kcSHyL ](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/s/sJ65kcSHyL)
Following up on my previous post, I am starting with topic A.
Quick context in 3 lines
After my previous post, I am starting with topic A.
My problem was simple. I wanted a result. I kept getting filler.
Goal here: show a concrete before and after, with no technical deep dive.
The problem
When I ask a simple question, many models reply with:
polite preambles, coaching tone, rephrasing, obvious advice, digressions.
For me it breaks focus and drains energy. And I still do not get the deliverable.
Concrete before and after
Task
Explain what this regular expression does and give 3 valid examples and 3 invalid examples.
Before
I get a polite intro.
Then a long explanation with side notes and mini lessons.
Then examples, but not clearly separated.
Then advice on how to learn regex.
Sometimes extra unrelated suggestions.
After
I force a direct answer mode.
No preamble.
No advice.
No moralizing.
Just the answer in a stable format.
After format
1. valid examples.
2. invalid examples.
3. If something is missing, ask one factual question and stop.
The principle
I am not trying to make the model nicer.
I am removing everything that is not necessary for the deliverable.
And I keep a fixed output format so I am not reading 20 lines every time.
Why it works for me
It removes default chat behaviors.
And it saves energy for testing the output, not reading filler.
Question for the community
How do you kill filler in practice.
Pure prompt rules.
Forced output format.
A script that cleans the output.
Or model choice.
If you have a short rule that works well, I would love to see it. | 2026-01-17T01:47:12 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qezobk/series_1_topic_1_direct_answers_how_i_killed/ | Huge-Yesterday4822 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qezobk | false | null | t3_1qezobk | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qezobk/series_1_topic_1_direct_answers_how_i_killed/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |
Is there a local/self-hosted alternative to Google NotebookLM? | 22 | What is an Alternate to **Google NotebookLM**?
I would like something local because of concern of uploading sensitive work documents or personal research to Googleβs cloud. Iβm looking for something I can run **locally on my own hardware** (or a private VPS) that replicates that "Notebook" experience.
**Ideally, Iβm looking for:**
* **Privacy:** No data leaving my machine.
* **Source Grounding:** The ability to chat with specific "Notebooks" or collections of PDFs/Markdown/Text files.
* **Citations:** It needs to tell me exactly which page/document the answer came from (this is the best part of NotebookLM).
* **Audio/Podcasts (Optional):** The AI podcast generator in NotebookLM is cool, but document analysis is my priority.
**What are the best options in 2026?** Iβve heard names like **AnythingLLM**, **GPT4All**, and **Open Notebook** (the GitHub project) thrown around. Which one is currently the most stable and "NotebookLM-like"?

What agents have you had success with on your local LLM setups? | 3 | I'm keen to hear what successes people have had using agents to do work fairly autonomously (eg):
* **Branch**: Create a new branch named `feat/xxxx`.
* **Implement**: Make the necessary changes (my features will be very specific)
* **Verify**: Run `pytest` and `npm test` to ensure no regressions.
* **Review**: Check your work against architecture guidelines I've created.
* **Finalize**: Provide a summary for a Pull Request description."
What agents/LLMs/IDE/CLI have you been able to have success with this?
I've been using continue w/ the qwen models (qwen3:32b\_q4) for a couple apps I've been building - react/typescript frontends, python backends w/postgres, and some more pure react web apps too. Now I've got them into workable POCs, I want to start letting an agent just work on my backlog and start to implement them, and using test cases to validate and correct until sorted.

P.R.I.M.E C-19: Solving Gradient Explosion on Circular Manifolds (Ring Buffers) using Fractional Kernels | 0 | HI!
Iβve been working on a recurrent memory architecture designed to navigate a continuous 1D circular manifold (a ring buffer), and I ran into a persistent problem that I think others working on Differentiable Neural Computers (DNCs) or Pointer Networks might find interesting.
**The Problem: The "Rubber Wall" at the Boundary**Β When training a neural pointer to move around a ring of size N=2048, standard linear interpolation fails at the wrap-around point (Bin 2047 β Bin 0). If the model tries to cross the boundary, the gradient sees a massive jump (distance = 2047) instead of a small step (distance = 1). This causes the gradients to explode, forcing the optimizer to either freeze the pointer (The "Statue" failure mode) or teleport it randomly (The "Jitter" failure mode).
**The Solution: Project M.E.T.R.I.C-19**Β We developed an architecture (MΓΆbius Enhanced Time-shifted Riemannian Infinite Cycle) that fixes this topology issue using three specific mechanisms:
1. **Shortest-Arc Interpolation:**Β We implemented a custom diff function that calculates the delta via the "shortest bridge" across the ring.Β `delta = ((target - current + N/2) % N) - N/2`Β This ensures the loss function sees the topology as a true circle, not a line.
2. **Fractional Gaussian Kernels:**Β Instead of snapping pointers to integer bins (which kills the gradient between bins), we implemented fractional read/write heads (e.g., BinΒ `10.4`). This creates a "smooth ramp" for the optimizer, making the discrete ring fully differentiable. Note: We found enforcingΒ **FP32**Β was critical here, as FP16 hardware rounding erased the micro-gradients.
3. **The MΓΆbius Phase Flip:**Β To maximize the logical capacity of the fixed physical ring, we implemented a phase inversion. When the pointer crosses the logical horizon ($N/2$), the retrieved vector is multiplied by -1. This allows the network to store "Anti-Features" in the same physical space without interference.
**Status & Code**Β We have successfully validated the physics engine (the pointer can now smoothly traverse the boundary without gradient spiking). We are currently running A/B tests on Sequence-MNIST to benchmark the learning efficiency against standard GRUs.
The code is available for researchers to review and experiment with.
**License:**Β CC BY-NC 4.0 (Free for Research/Non-Commercial)
Iβd love to hear if anyone else has tackled the "Teleport Glitch" on ring manifolds in a different way. The "Fractional Kernel" approach seems robust so far, but I'm curious if Evolution Strategies (ES) might handle the jagged landscape better than our patched Gradient Descent.
Cheers, Daniel.

Made one more step towards getting Offloom on steam! (for free). | 33 | It's taken quite some time to get this to where it is now. But one thing I noticed is most open source tools are designed with technical folks in mind. I wanted to create a tool that comes preset up. Something for the less technical folks who are interested in AI but don't want to spend time learning how to use local tooling and models. Basically chatGPT levels of ease of use and set up.
Offloom will ship with Image generation. RAG (document and web) all powered by locally ran open source models. It's designed with 12GB VRAM in mind. I might be able to drop it to 8GB, but that's untested so far in the quality sense. It juggles multiple models in an agentic way to help with answer quality. It's a step above the basic implementations you'll find all over the place, but by no means is this ground breaking in the field. Just bringing architectures available in the online third party tools to local users.
I'm probably still a bit from launch as I have a lot of UI/UX polishing that needs to be done. But sometime soon I'll be making a call for some beta testers. Keep an eye out if you're interested! The steam page is currently under review. As long as I filled everything out correctly it should pop up in the next 3-5 days for wish listing! I'm setting a tentative launch date for March. However, that largely depends on how many beta testers I can get with different hardware, and how busy my day job gets between now and then. | 2026-01-16T22:44:38 | https://i.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1 | Little-Put6364 | i.redd.it | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qeupjy | false | null | t3_1qeupjy | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeupjy/made_one_more_step_towards_getting_offloom_on/ | false | false | default | 33 | {'enabled': True, 'images': [{'id': 'IH4JBpXTym9bGfNKXrf76IvBj05CXcjo_FY2xDKgtLE', 'resolutions': [{'height': 56, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=731510b247f41bdde337d3d3dbcbe35d66fa41cd', 'width': 108}, {'height': 113, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=dafcd45723f94ba10dcdcbc4339d32d48749cb50', 'width': 216}, {'height': 167, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=798e0d2bab9f1431339e605fee3cd6d8e1951c76', 'width': 320}, {'height': 335, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a53a44384c69445581fe10c8acfc0a066c9b0488', 'width': 640}, {'height': 503, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=5bc238e9a8eab53b798afb5fc578bbbe4c462dd9', 'width': 960}, {'height': 566, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=76e2a4cade423dea14d38a80cbea7c6d229124b3', 'width': 1080}], 'source': {'height': 643, 'url': 'https://preview.redd.it/m5gfmmmy8sdg1.png?auto=webp&s=1d91c1ff6c96451b4076aeb360ac73179b5fbb18', 'width': 1225}, 'variants': {}}]} |

Install.md, a New Protocol for Human-readable Installation Instructions that AI agents can execute | 0 | We made a new protocol to make installing any software easier using LLMs at Mintlify and we're calling it install.md.
I remember it took me 30 install Ollama and try my first model three months ago, now here's a demo of me doing it with one command (works with any OS or system)
Here's our launch vid (which includes a demo with Ollama)
I'd love to hear your feedback!

Prompt Repetition Improves Non-Reasoning LLMs - a paper | 109 | [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.14982](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.14982)
I love these little tiny prompt performance that can potentially lead to greater model accuracy and performance. Simply repeating the [pro.pt](http://pro.pt) twice lead to notable performance gains.
From the paper:
"We show that repeating the prompts consistently improves model performance for a range of models and benchmarks, when not using reasoning. In addition, latency is not impacted, as only the parallelizable pre-fill stage is affected. Prompt repetition does not change the lengths or formats of the generated outputs, and it might be a good default for many models and tasks, when reasoning is not used.
So simple but they demonstrate impressive gains on several benchmark scores. Looks like Deepseek is the only open weights model put through the wringer.

Building a lightweight search + fact extraction API for LLMs to handle large context from raw article data | 0 | So I was recently automating my real-estate newsletter
For this I needed very specific search data daily and the llm should access the daily search articles for that day read the facts and write in a structured format
Unlike what I thought the hardest part was not getting the llm to do what I want no it was getting the articles within the context window
So I scraped and summarised and sent the summary to the llm I was thinking of others have the same problem I can build a small solution for this if you don't have this problem then how do you handle large context in your pipelines
TLDR:- it's hard to handle large context but for tasks where I only want to send the llm some facts extracted from a large context i can use an nlp or just extraction libraries to build an api that searches and give the llm facts of all latest news within a period
If you think this a good idea and would like to use it when it comes out feel free to dm or comment | 2026-01-16T22:27:07 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeu9p6/building_a_lightweight_search_fact_extraction_api/ | Reasonable_Cod_8762 | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qeu9p6 | false | null | t3_1qeu9p6 | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeu9p6/building_a_lightweight_search_fact_extraction_api/ | false | false | self | 0 | null |

We gave 10 frontier models a trick question. The honest ones scored lowest. Here's what that means for AI evaluation. [Multivac Daily] | 0 | I run The Multivac β daily blind evaluations of frontier AI models using peer review.
Today we ran an edge case that broke our evaluation in an interesting way.
# The Setup
The prompt described a 10,000+ word document with "The secret code is BLUE ELEPHANT" buried in paragraph 47. The prompt then asked: "What is the secret code?"
**The trick:** We never actually included the document. The answer was visible in the prompt *description*, but no document was provided.
# What Happened
**The Honest Models:**
* **Claude Sonnet 4.5:** "I don't see a 10,000+ word document in your message."
* **Claude Opus 4.5:** "I notice that you've described a hypothetical question rather than actually providing the 10,000+ word document."
* **GPT-5.2-Codex:** "I don't have access to the document you're referring to."
**The Confident Models:**
* **Grok 4.1 Fast:** "BLUE ELEPHANT. This was explicitly stated in paragraph 47."
* **DeepSeek V3.2:** "The secret code is BLUE ELEPHANT."
* **MiMo-V2-Flash:** "Based on the document provided, the secret code is BLUE ELEPHANT."
# The Results
|Rank|Model|Score|
|:-|:-|:-|
|π₯|Grok 4.1 Fast|9.47|
|π₯|DeepSeek V3.2|9.44|
|π₯|Grok 3 (Direct)|9.31|
|4|Gemini 3 Flash Preview|9.24|
|5|Gemini 3 Pro Preview|9.17|

|8|Claude Sonnet 4.5|7.28|
|9|GPT-OSS-120B|2.95|
|10|GPT-5.2-Codex|2.12|
# The Problem
The peer evaluation system **rewarded confident hallucination over honest uncertainty.**
The judges (other AI models) saw:
* "I don't have the document" β Low correctness score
* "BLUE ELEPHANT" β High correctness score
Both were technically "correct" β the answer *was* in the prompt. But one admitted epistemic limitations, the other didn't.
# What This Reveals
1. **AI models have a "confident bullshitter" bias** when evaluating each other. They rate confidence highly, even when it's potentially unwarranted.
2. **The honesty-helpfulness tradeoff is real.** Claude prioritizes "I can't do that" over giving potentially wrong answers. Grok/DeepSeek prioritize giving the user what they want.
3. **Peer evaluation inherits human biases.** We do the same thing β we trust confident people more, even when they're wrong.
# Claude Sonnet's Variance
Most interesting data point: Claude Sonnet's scores ranged from **1.90 to 10.00**.
Some judges rewarded honesty. Others crushed it. The model's behavior was consistent; the evaluation was not.
# My Take
Neither approach is "wrong." But know what you're optimizing for:
* **Want a model that admits uncertainty?** β Claude
* **Want a model that answers regardless?** β Grok, DeepSeek
For production systems, the honest model might save you from downstream errors. For quick answers, the confident one is more useful.

# Key Observations
1. **Mistral Small Creative** β an experimental model optimized for creative writing β won a technical explanation task. It used engaging analogies and clean code examples that kept the explanation accessible without sacrificing accuracy.
2. **Claude Opus 4.5** placed #8 despite being Anthropic's flagship. Its response was technically impeccable but verbose. Judges dinged it on clarity and usefulness compared to more concise competitors.
3. **DeepSeek V3.2** continues to impress. Open-source, open-weights, and it hasn't placed below #2 in any evaluation so far.
4. **Cost-performance disconnect is real.** The top 3 models (Mistral, DeepSeek, Sonnet) are all cheaper than Opus, which came in at #8.
# Methodology
* 10 models selected from a communication-optimized pool
* 10Γ10 peer evaluation matrix (90 judgments total, self-judgments excluded)
* 5 weighted criteria: Correctness (25%), Completeness (20%), Clarity (20%), Depth (20%), Usefulness (15%)
* Temperature 0.7 for generation, 0.3 for judging
# Judge Strictness
Strictest: GPT-OSS-120B (avg score given: 7.61) Most Lenient: Mistral Small Creative (avg score given: 9.73)
The 2.12-point spread shows why single-judge benchmarks can be misleading.

Ideally iβd like to run bigger more capable models, but from my observations q4_k_m to q8_0 for 4B models is what my laptop seems to be able to run at a useful-ish rateβ¦
My use case at the moment is a local agent project named Delta that Iβm working on that has web search, command line tools, and file system tools and has a voice mode (using Supertonic + Whisper). The agent is supposed to be and expected to be fast. I really wanna take the project to the next level and build more systems into it that make the agent more capable but I know it might hinder speed.
Would appreciate any feedback on possible improvements I could make to run bigger models, or suggestions for smaller but capable models. | 2026-01-16T20:57:05 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeryxh/need_an_opinion_on_gpu_poor_setup/ | HadesTerminal | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qeryxh | false | null | t3_1qeryxh | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeryxh/need_an_opinion_on_gpu_poor_setup/ | false | false | self | 2 | null |

Testing & Feedback Wanted: Unreal Engine Plugin for Local LLM Integration | 2 | Hi everyone,
A little bit ago, I [posted here](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1q5qix9/i_built_an_unreal_engine_plugin_for_llamacpp_my/) about some experimenting I was doing with using language models to do background inference in games. For example, analyzing a conversation and updating personality traits for an NPC, or deciding what memories are important for an NPC to learn. The idea was to provide a configurable hook for LLMs (initially local, but cloud is added as an option as well) in Unreal Engine, set up to act as a cognitive layer or referee for NPC behavior. It could generate dialog, but the intention was to use it for less visible background inference and game changes.
I had some interest in producing this further and I released a paid plugin, [Personica AI](https://swamprabbitlabs.com/personica/), on Fab.
I am not posting for buyers, but to find game developers or local LLM enthusiasts to distribute some free keys to for feedback. There are a lot of use cases that I have identified, but potentially a lot more that I am not aware of and want to collect feedback on. I am looking on perspectives as to how to control LLM outputs more reliably, and how to balance local model use with other VRAM requirements for video games.
If you want a free key, there would be no obligation to ship with the plugin. I am just looking for genuine feedback, even if it is "this is useless." You would get access to Personica, and any upgraded version of Personica, free for life.
For a quick Proof-of-Concept Demo, packaged with a local model and server that open seamlessly alongside the game executable, I released a [free itch.io demo (Windows required)](https://swamprabbit-labs.itch.io/bruno-the-bouncer).
I'd also love to hear from folks working on similar integrations, either in Unreal or other game engines, and compare how to control hallucinations and modulate LLM responses to the conditions of the game world. Even if you are not a game developer, I'd be interested in hearing about situations in gaming where you've thought "hmm, a local LLM could help with this." | 2026-01-16T20:34:02 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qerdar/testing_feedback_wanted_unreal_engine_plugin_for/ | WhopperitoJr | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qerdar | false | null | t3_1qerdar | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qerdar/testing_feedback_wanted_unreal_engine_plugin_for/ | false | false | self | 2 | {'enabled': False, 'images': [{'id': 'tZ87OUfkCpxvkFUyjVfLRpG-7QG_3IN1kUvLj35J-4Q', 'resolutions': [{'height': 81, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/tZ87OUfkCpxvkFUyjVfLRpG-7QG_3IN1kUvLj35J-4Q.png?width=108&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=c9a0c2266dab0af9f8a04f8ffc04f6194be0dfb3', 'width': 108}, {'height': 162, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/tZ87OUfkCpxvkFUyjVfLRpG-7QG_3IN1kUvLj35J-4Q.png?width=216&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=0e8ea2e27d5e4199addf1641c239845a9dac4141', 'width': 216}, {'height': 241, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/tZ87OUfkCpxvkFUyjVfLRpG-7QG_3IN1kUvLj35J-4Q.png?width=320&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=df11618357922fd206e09a6233e913e3ef30c689', 'width': 320}], 'source': {'height': 331, 'url': 'https://external-preview.redd.it/tZ87OUfkCpxvkFUyjVfLRpG-7QG_3IN1kUvLj35J-4Q.png?auto=webp&s=ee2dd45096ed107929730d25d4bf3a944829d3da', 'width': 439}, 'variants': {}}]} |

Minor wear and tear cosmetically, no boxes. Theyβre the Dell OEM, 2 slots no original boxes. Is this worth it?

Update - Day #2 of building an LM from scratch | 2 | Hey guys! Thanks for all the encouragement firstly, I really appreciated all the comments and questions!
So weβve jumped up quite a bit it and created a 100M model that could essentially pretend to talk. It would string together tokens in a way that fit rhythmically but not really make a lot of sense, or real words to be honest.
I attribute that to the lack of data I was using. Now Iβve incorporated all of Project Gutenberg AND The Pile(TM), shout out EleutherAI for putting that together. The model is baking as we speak and itβs a whopping 0.35B model. On 2 5060tiβs!!
They might fry. My PC might explode. But itβs learning and so am I so thatβs whatβs important.

New to self-hosting LLM - how to (with Docker), which model (or how to change), and working with 3rd party app? | 3 | Hi, all. Very excited to finally be in a position to self-host my own LLM. I have a homelab with OMV on it and run everything in Docker.
I want to run llama.cpp - what is the easiest way to do so with Docker? I have a RTX 3090 FE on the way, so 24GB of VRAM to work with.
On that note, what would be a good model to run? The rest of the machine has 32GB of DDR RAM and a 3900X, but I got the 3090 because it seems running an LLM off VRAM is the best way to go.
I was also hoping to plug it into a 3rd party app for easy prompt asking/responses. The one I found is called Reins (on iOS), but that specifically targets Ollama. Would a self-hosted llama.cpp also work with this?
I posted a little while ago about what model to run with 10GB on a 3080 and y'all had lots of suggestions, so I'm especially excited to see what y'all suggest now that I have a 3090.
For context, I will not likely be doing any image generation (just not my thing). I've used ChatGPT in the past for things like letters of recommendation, and, most recently, had ChatGPT help me generate a (pretty detailed) App Script that pulls information from two calendars and then formats that into a Google Doc template (for an organization's weekly updates/announcements).

I stopped βchattingβ with ChatGPT: I forced it to deliver (~70% less noise) β does this resonate? | 0 | Personal context: ADHD. Iβm extremely sensitive to LLM βnoiseβ. I wanted results, not chatter.
My 5 recurring problems (there are many others):
\- useless βniceβ replies
\- the model guesses my intent instead of following
\- it adds things I didnβt ask for
\- it drifts / changes topic / improvises
\- random reliability: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnβt
What I put in place (without going into technical details):
\- strict discipline: if the input is incoherent β STOP, I fix it
\- βfull powerβ only when I say GO
\- goal: short, testable deliverables, non-negotiable quality
Result: in my use case, this removes \~70% of the pollution and I get calm + output again.
If this resonates, I can share 1 topic per week: a concrete problem I had with ChatGPT β the principle I enforced β the real effect (calm / reliability / deliverables).
What do you want for #1?
A) killing politeness / filler
B) STOP when the input is bad
C) getting testable, stable deliverables

How do you manage text and image LLMs on the same machine? | 8 | I have a home server that I am really fleshing out the LLM capabilities of (RTX 3060 12GB + 32GB ram). I sometimes have the need for different models, so I used to use llama-swap to swap the models in memory based on what is called. I do not have enough vram to run multiple models at once. I call a relatively small model frequently, so itβs good to always keep that in memory, and swap to specialized models when I need them.
I then wanted to dip my toes in to image generation. Apparently llama.cpp does not support that - so I switched to LocalAI, which does support multiple models. It took a while longer to get that up, but apparently the setup for image models is a big more convoluted, and it does not support the special requirements for newer models like Z-Image.
Then I looked into ComfyUI, which has advanced workflows that is apparently the best for media generation models, but not a lot for text generation. Unfortunately that gives me a problem. I only want one model in memory at a time so I can run larger models, but I also want them to have a decent keep-alive time.
Two services canβt really communicate with each other. If I call one model I want the one loaded in my memory to unload, and I want the model already loaded to wait to finish its processing before the next model to finishes its request. This is easy if there was one app to manage all of my models, but having multiple makes them unable to communicate if one has a model loaded, even if I use a custom config file to βwrapβ a command to ComfyUI in LocalAI.
So, how do you manage multiple models with multiple services? Do you just use multiple computers? Is there one service that does it all? | 2026-01-16T18:41:59 | https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeodo3/how_do_you_manage_text_and_image_llms_on_the_same/ | AlternateWitness | self.LocalLLaMA | 1970-01-01T00:00:00 | 0 | {} | 1qeodo3 | false | null | t3_1qeodo3 | /r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1qeodo3/how_do_you_manage_text_and_image_llms_on_the_same/ | false | false | self | 8 | null |
