Just wait a week for model bugs to be worked out. This is well-known advice and a common practice within r/localllama. The flags are not hard at all if you're using llama.cpp regularly. If you're new to the ecosystem, that&#x

I use llama.cpp, and there is a way to do this - some layers to (i)GPU, the rest to CPU. I was just trying this out with Kimi K2.5 (in preparation for trying it out with Kimi K2.6 the other night. Check out the --n-cpu-moe flag in llama.cpp

You absolutely do not need to run at full BF16. The quality loss between BF16 (55.65 GB in GGUF) and Q8_0 (30.44 GB in GGUF) is essentially zero - think on the order of magnitude of +0.01-0.03 perplexity, or ~0.1-0.3% relative PPL increase.

The FedGov has not constructed a single one of the buildings it uses. It pays contractors to build them using stolen money. Also, the $7T is clear evidence of incompetence. The FedGov collected $5.3T in theft revenue last year. This is why

Happy IBKR customer here. ForecastTrader has absolutely horrific liquidity outside of maybe 30-40 large contracts. The rest is all market makers that only offer 10-100 or so shares at each price point before bumping up a penny or two. No kn

Bitcoin exists. Completely permissionless, anyone on earth can use it. Easier to accept as a merchant than any third party integration. Doesn't require you to trust any government at all.

Absolutely - I'm one of these types of people who just want local inference myself. I have a Strix Halo rig and I'm thrilled to have Minimax M2.7 weights to run locally. Like I said, this is still an unambiguously good thing, and

In addition to this conversation already having been started at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47735348 yesterday, MiniMax M2.7 is not open source. The open weights have been released, which is definitely good and f

Headscale is open source and it already works. You don't need to rely on anyone to use it, or even to improve it.

Easy and accessible self hosting isn't the primary concern. It's much more private and secure to run that Minecraft or Mumble server on an encrypted overlay network like via headscale + tailscale rather than exposing both services

The tailscale client and the headscale server are both open source, you don't need to rely on commercial entities.
