Thanks for posting this, that's how I first found out about Dan's experiment! SSD speed doubled in the M5P/M generation, that makes it usable! I think one paper under the radar is "KV Prediction for Improved Time to First Token" https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.08391 https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.08391 which hopefully can help with prefill for Flash streaming.

That’s exactly what I thought about. Getting my hands on an M5 Max this week and going to see hows Dan’s experiment performs with faster I/O. Also going to experiment with running active parameters at Q6 or Q8 since output is I/O bottlenecked there should room for higher accuracy compute.

  Check my repo, I had added some support for GUFF/untloth, Q3,Q5/Q8 https://github.com/Anemll/flash-moe/blob/iOS-App/docs/gguf-hybrid-bringup-log.md https://github.com/Anemll/flash-moe/blob/iOS-App/docs/gguf-h...

  To be fair, it's "possible" to run such setup with llama.cpp with ssd offload. It's just abysmal TG speeds. But it's possible.
