Running at about 7-8 tok/s (~60 tok/s prefill) on a Mac Mini M2 16GB. So far feels smarter than Bonsai 1 27B, it’s slightly larger than the Q1_0 quant. Super exciting stuff :)

I like to say with LLMs the real intelligence was inside us all along. That said, system prompt (which to your point also comes from the human) matters a lot too. For example a coding harness that doesn’t a have a plan mode will keep trying

I’ve had success with writing eg shell scripts that have a deterministic scaffold for the thing I’m actually trying to do, then call off to the agent for only the things that actually need it. For example I was trying to find a race conditi

I wonder if another path to “success” for ladybird could be rather than end users downloading it for the main browser, if it gains enough dev interest, we could get some kind of competitor to electron and it would end up getting bundled in

looks like it only has the physical connections for USB 2. Fun fact about usb 3, it’s really a completely separate physical standard from usb 2, just designed in such a way that a single port can have BOTH usb 2.0 and 3.0 connectors in it a

I tried this in my mac mini m2 16GB, unfortunately I have to use an usb disk for the model weights, and I’m getting 0.5 tok/s. Still, being able to run (heh maybe crawl is more accurate) a 100B model on this computer AT ALL is pretty c

I gotta laugh at some of the models it suggests, for example: > AnkitAI/Parable-Qwen3-4B-Claude-Fable-5-GGUF you’re telling me you managed to fit Fable 5 into just 4B?

maybe a stupid question, but, don’t you have access to all those things now? What’s stopping you from becoming Da Vinci now?

huh, sounds like they’re talking about over fitting and datasets etc, it seems like this is almost more like a fine tune/distill than just a pure quantization

I feel like the current “reasoning” that LLMs are doing has got to be a dead end eventually. Every time I have to read another answer with “but wait” and “Actually,” as they “reason” their way to a (sometimes) better answer, I feel like the

nope just my normal m2 mac mini. I bought it just as a normal computer to do my taxes and whatever, so it’s mind blowing that I can run this kind of AI workload on it. Well, “run” might be generous, it gets like 3-5tok/s I’m working on

100k is all the context I have ram for, this is with any auto-compact turned off. This is using Cline in vs code. I’m sure I could tune the system prompt and mode switching more to work better with this specific model, but I haven’t gone do

I hope the bonsai team makes another 1bit quant of this model (or releases code/instructions on how to do it), using the Qwen3.6 27B on my 16GB mac mini has been wild . The 1bit quant feels like opus level… for the first couple turns.

the “Actually… But wait!” style responses are so annoying, even Claude opus struggles with this so I’d be interested if meta has done something to cut down on that while still giving good responses
