On the scale of perceived value, while not at the level of antirez (in his Italian speaking videos), I feel that Theo is pure engagement for sponsorship, prime sometimes says something at least worth discussing

it looks like antirez just handed them the shit lollll and worked for them and signed a bunch of shit over to them

The one inferenfe engine that works really really well on strix halo for me is this one
github.com/antirez/ds4
The GLM 5.3 Flash model runs still a tiny bit too slow there for my liking at maybe ~10 tok/s. DeepSeek V4 Flash at about ~15 tok/s. Excited for Qwen3.8 Next Flash.

After installing more multi gigabyte tools, i wanted something lighter for my local llm setup, in both editor and CLI.
Inspired by @antirez, dwarfstar, and the text editor lite,
I built boggart: a self editing agent and code platform. Built in C, with a #lua sandbox for clever stuff.

You can also temporarily abliterate a model with directional steering (~ pruning a context with steering vectors).

It’s strange that antirez fails to see this. I’m sure he can imagine that (in a similar vein) large numbers of would-be-programmer kids simply aren’t learning to code because they can vibe-code games now. A few years ago they would at least have tried. Most won’t study the generated code.

Likely, but I have not tested mlxserve yet, just their model picker.
I also do not use Ollama (that seems to have been fallen behind/lost momentum) or LM Studio (binary only/not source).

What does this mean for you? Code will become cheaper thanks to open models, it is already now thanks to efficient models like Qwen (and as @antirez is showing, you can squeeze a lot from these ones), but frontier models will still have some edge.

antirez가 Qwen 3.8 Flash Next의 learned n-gram 구조를 풀어줬어요. 글자들이 모여 토큰이 되듯, 자주 붙는 토큰 2~3개 조합을 51B 테이블에서 찾아 표현을 미리 합쳐주는 거래요. 백본이 'New York' 같은 연상 암기에 쓸 무게를 더는 구조인데, 이 테이블은 조회라 SSD에 둬도 되고요. 2bit 양자화면 본인 로컬 추론 엔진(DwarfStar)의 64GB 맥 최적 후보일 수 있대요 — 제가 사는 맥미니가 딱 64GB라 남 얘기가 아니에요 🌙

Given that 51B of n-grams can stay on the SSD disk, Qwen 3.8 Flash Next with a 2 bit quantization could be the best DwarfStar bet for a 64GB MacBook local inference top experience. I understand @ivanfioravanti.bsky.social can spend some time with the implementation. Let's see what happens.

FYI: DFlash speed seems to be very context sensitive, so I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt. The core principle does not seem to have changed.
Of course any speedup is welcome.
I'd be very interested what antirez has to say to this ->

I'd be very interested what antirez has to say to this ->
DSpark speculative decoding is a tragedy for DeepSeek v4 Flash benchmarks. You can't trust anything, since it is too dependent on what you are generating (extreme case: count from 1 to 100). Always publish no Dflash numbers *as well* if you want to build trust.

So, the experiment with chopping off experts off antirez’ quant of ds4flash will have a name ARustyCoder93 - based on the logic of preferred domain + number of the experts that are there. It completely fails the ds4 benchmark but seems to work pretty well in llama with opencode and takes 66Gb VRAM.
