I think @antirez ds4.c is important! I wrote down my thoughts on why I built pi-ds4 and why we need to focus our local model efforts stronger than we do currently. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/5/8/loc...

Local models need focus and polish.

it is literally both better and cheaper than luna at xhigh

In the glm5.2 branch of DwarfStar you can find a preview of GLM5.2 support. The model is strong and works well, but I'm highly hesitant to say that the 4bit GLM5.2 quants are able to perform *strongly* better than DeepSeek v4 Flash, which has a decisive speed advantage: github.com/antirez/ds4/...

By using Neural Accelerator via Metal4 API, DS4 is now very fast on M5 Max MacBooks.

almost finished adding ornith 397B support to DS4, wonder how well it will work

Very alpha quality, but I just pushed a new DwarfStart version with the ds4-agent coding agent. Maybe I should call it ds4-code?

yaay i got a 15% prefill speedup in ds4 by rewriting one of the MoE kernels for WMMA

Installed Duckstation, gave her my spare DS4, and got my Mom to play Final Fantasy 7
She got to the first save point in the reactor and had a blast 🥲

Breaking! @ggerganov himself confirming that DS4 2 bit quants actually work very well! He is running AIME2025, but check his words here in the screenshot.

Sorry if I'm not handling issues/PRs in DS4 right now, I'm cooking... Minimax M2.7 support added since we need to explore all the 128GB options (and in the future the frontier options for hardware that can run them: DS4 pro, K2.6, ...).
