Qwen3.6 35B Q4 ran nearly 3× faster than Q6 with only a 0–2% quality tradeoff in our tests.

1× RTX 3090 also beat 2× when the model fit. But for a 235B Q2 hybrid load, the second card made the whole workstation far more usable.

I ran 120 matched image-to-3D tests through Pixal3D and TRELLIS.2. I checked what survived: defining features, thin structures, part relationships, and finishing. The result is an inspection method, not a universal winner. youtu.be/asw3C0W68JE

A four-year-old and her little sister wrote and directed a 16-minute fantasy movie. I built the AI-assisted production workflow; they supplied the story, characters, and decisions. Dragon Snare is imaginative, ambitious, and completely theirs.

Models Guide - Public Episode 04

Five tests for programmed interface compression, plus a clean way to falsify the claim: remove the shared codebook and see whether the compact message still reconstructs correctly.

HMICsource is live. Ep.1 introduces Programmed Interface Compression: when shared state carries enough meaning that later messages can shrink toward near-nothing. The definition is one sentence. The test is falsifiable.

HMICsource will share compact research notes, working artifacts, and clear boundaries around what the evidence does or does not show. Current projects include Programmed Interface Compression, code-learning games, and human/AI production workflows.

HMIC is an independent research studio exploring a simple question: how much useful structure can we compress into an interface before the interface becomes the program?
We build prototypes, test them in public, and share what survives. Starting here.
