Agents don't just exist in the aether. Any request is coming from an IP that can be identified at least to a hosting provider.

There is a certain attraction to the idea of being an NPC, or taking the blue pill offered by Morpheus as it were. Ignorance is bliss after all.

Where do you live where there isn't already property taxes?

How are stock buybacks wasteful? Aren't they just an alternate, more tax effective divided?

Don't many ccTLDs do something like that with the ".co.xx" second-level domain? (e.g., ".co.uk")

Mozilla's not exactly short on funds. They take in at least $500,000,000 every year.

I don't know what professional services they plan on offering. Does Debian actually offer any? I know the others do.

It appears to be an opinionated, batteries included distro/OS using a tiling window manager, and it's targeted at Mac/Windows power users. It's a niche target and time will tell whether it pays off.

You'd think a foundation raking in half a billion per year could accomplish more.

The really strange thing about the criticism directed towards Framework is they simply sponsored the Hyprland window manager, not the Omarchy OS, but because Omarchy uses Hyprland that got conflated as funding Omarchy.

That describes most distributions, even the base ones like Debian and Fedora.

Not a chance. Only the movies geared towards kids have been any good like Mario, Sonic, Wreck it Ralf, and the Lego movies. All of the teen/adult movies have been mediocre at best with maybe Resident Evil 1 being an exception.

With 32gb VRAM you should be able to run Qwen3.8-27B at either Q5 with 262k context, or Q6 with 200k context. Additionally you probably want Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) either in your harness or the server (e.g., in Open WebUI). Ad

That would be if Anthropic purchased Hugging Face, not Nvidia.

Not full precision. I've only benchmarked 27B across Q3-6 quants using lm-eval. I lack the hardware to bench 27B at BF16 but I might be able to do Q8_0. I haven't gotten around to doing 35B. I really should upload my collection of

You have your numbers switched. 27B is the dense model and runs slowly on unified memory. 35B (A3B active) runs great on unified memory.

I know it benchmarks very well. I haven't tried it yet though.

This is the best I got, all with Unsloth's quantizations. Laguna-S-2.1:UD-Q4_K_XL (no MTP) pp=186.4 t/s tg=27.8 t/s Qwen3.6-35B:UD-Q4_K_XL (with MTP) pp=404.4 t/s tg=83.2 t/s Qwen3.6-27B:UD-Q4_K_XL (recorded pre-MTP

Yeah 27B is way too slow for the Strix Halo. Laguna was better but still slow when I tried it. Qwen3.6 35B is still the best today.

I've been waiting for the dust to settle on this model so I can find a good runtime setup. I'm definitely bookmarking this. Thanks!

by cpburns2009 2mo ago
Only VRAM? Unlikely unless you can also load the whole model into regular RAM. The previous 3.5 release was 250gb at BF16, so FP8 would likely be around 125gb. Your best best is FP4/Q4.

So back in the Qwen 3.5 release, the 122B-A10B model scored slightly better than the 27B model. I'd expect this new 125B-A6B to perform similarly to the recently released 27B. Qwen3.8 27B is supposed to rival Sonnet/Opus 4.6.
53.
by cpburns2009 2mo ago
You can run the 27B released last week. I haven't tried it yet myself but the 3.6 version runs great on my 5090.

I agree with dougdude. I like debit cards better because you see the balance change immediately. The thing I dislike about credit cards is payment is deferred by a month.
55.
by cpburns2009 2mo ago
Places around me have been starting to itemize the credit card fee. Only car dealerships so far have waived the fee for debit over credit in my experience.

Don't spend money you don't have. Especially don't do it with 20% interest short-term loans. It's not that hard. If you're not financially responsible enough to handle a credit card, do not get one. I didn't ha

There is literally no time involved in avoiding interest. You pay your complete balance when it's due. As far as rewards go, I can't be bothered with them so I always just opt for cash back which I do maybe twice a year. Time invo

That would make everyone who has a 401K, IRA, mutual fund, ETF or stocks liable for every action made by the companies invested in. That would be insane.

When I tested various eval benchmarks on Qwen3.5/3.6 27B with Unsloth's quants, the scores usually dropped 0-5% between UD-Q6 and UD-Q3 depending on the eval.

This doesn't look like LLM slop to me, or even LLM generated.
