It could be based on things like word frequency. I'd expect obfuscate/obfuscation to be less common outside of programming and RPGs (Vampire the Masquerade).

llama.cpp is great. However, Llama 4 was a misstep for them: it was too big, so was out of reach of the LocalLlama crowd and hard to train/customize into different variants like has happened with the smaller models on Hugging Face. 70B

It's all relative. For local use I'd classify it by hardware (VRAM size) using FP8 or Q6 quantization: 1. tiny <2-3B -- easily runnable on lower-spec hardware 2. small 4-8B -- runnable on 8GB GPUs 3. medium 9-12B -- runnable on

Yeah. I run LLM models locally and for me 22B-32B is the largest I'm willing to invest in trying out. Even though Mistral 4 has 6B active parameters per token (allowing 3-3.5 per token parameters to be loaded on a 4090), the ~240GB dow

IIRC, libraries like numpy and pytorch can already do that as they store the matrices as 1D arrays with information on things like the stride length (advancing to the next row). That allows you to implement operations like transposition by
