llama.cpp is the SOTA inference engine that everyone in the know uses, and has a Vulkan backend. Most software in the world is Vulkan, not CUDA, and CUDA only works on a minority of hardware. Not only that, AMD has a compatibility layer for

I don't bother with Nvidia products anymore. In a lot of ways, they're too little too late. Nvidia products generally perform worse per dollar, perform worse per watt. In a single GPU situation, my 7900XTX has gotten me farther th

It isn't odd at all. Ollama uses an ancient version of llama.cpp, and was originally meant to just be a GUI frontend. They forked, and then never resynchronized... and now lack the willpower and technical skill to achieve that. Ollama

They need to reverse course on this immediately, along with removing all the other LLM-based technologies. No mentions of "AI" should appear anywhere in the OS. According to the article, Microsoft will be able to read all of your

Even saying 25-30GB/s is weird. DDR4-3200 is ~26GB/s per channel, and is the upper end of what you'll see on ECC DDR4. DDR5-5600 is common now, and is ~45GB/s. Zen 2/3 Epycs on SP3 have 8 channels, Zen 4/5 Epyc

We already don't need a crude process like you describe for lighting applications: look up "chip on board" LEDs, or COBs. The brightest single element LED lights you can buy today are all COBs. What we need is finer COBs that

Neat idea, but why is this implemented in Python instead of a more suitable language? Also, there are many DSLs and APIs already for this, some even supported by industries and provided as part of the SDKs for various hardware blobs, so why

Depends how you define "worse in every way". With my own personal testing, DeepSeek's distillations have been able to do the task when the original upstream model either couldn't, or was marginally worse yet. You're

No one said they were. They're distilled using the original model and the same weights that match the ones in R1. Its ostensibly the original, but better. There are also fused models such as https://huggingface.co/FuseA

Yes, I'm aware of various rankings. Try all of those models on something that isn't commonly used on a benchmark, and you'll notice that a lot of the proprietary models have trouble actually producing statistically relevant r

You wouldn't use full fledged R1 for coding. There are distilled models using R1 for coding that get you most of the way there. R1 also doesn't take 1TB of RAM, go use read Unsloth's writeup on how to reduce model size withou

I'm sorry, but isn't Cursor just an editor? Maybe an editor shouldn't actually have garbage parts to avoid? Why not just use an editor that is focused on coding, and then just not use an LLM at all? Less fighting the toolin

The only way I would donate to Mozilla is if the corporation is shuttered and the non-profit is disentangled from it. Any donations you send to Mozilla today go to the corporation and are not spent on the browser. They are spent on things t

With assembly for a CPU, the instructions you're writing are verbatim being sent (compiled, obviously) to the CPU. With PTX, you are not writing in the native assembly of the Nvidia GPU, but yet another abstraction, just one more simil

"Compile to" isn't exactly the correct phrase either. PTX is not the IL used by Nvidia's drivers, but does compile directly to it with less slop involved. If you had said "PTX's instructions are analogous to wr

There isn't a lot of easily accessible examples outside of the corporate world. Open source authors typically shy away from Nvidia closed source APIs, and PTX is tied to how Nvidia hardware works, so you won't see it implemented f
