So these Anthropic news just prove that training corpus data has been completely exausted?
Yea, yea, they have been training on "synthetic" data from at least 2022 if not earlier but while Anthropic are faggots, it really feels like the chinks are wasting time when they could be karmafarming by making smaller models with more exotic architectures

Abliterated/Heretic'd Qwen 3.5-397 would probably be pretty nice. I really enjoy the thinking but it's like there's a tiny 7B in there dedicated to cucking you. You can work around it but damn it'd be nice to not have to.

Let's just say that hypothetically DSv4 outperforms Claude 4.6 Opus.

The next thing is if real Reinforcement Learning can be implemented for models to be able to update their own weights so that they do not learn during the training cycle alone. If this kind of improvement can be made (It cannot for a lot of reasons) the hype will continue
If not the American stock market will crash and we'll see Sam Altman found dead in his apartment as an apparent suicide.

This would impress only ML nerds, and would have zero impact on normies as a "wow factor"
This would just be a faster way to fine-tune and that's it

>>
>>108226713
What we know about it from reports:
1 - They trained it on thousands of B200s (they successfully evaded export controls)
2 - They distilled the least on Claude syntheticslop compared to other chinese labs, and even then it was mostly about compliance/censorship stuff. Which is bullish since this means they are confident in the model performing well on its own
3 - Will likely use Engram (fast "lookup") and mHC (training optimizations)
>>
>>
>>108226812
>it has propaganda value
Exactly, but that's not substantial.
The real money is on corpos, and they don't give a fuck about RP, they just want a model that -works- out of the box without making them "teach" it things, and when they do, it would be nothing new either since many companies already fine-tune open weights models

From what I can tell the chink devs from kimi/qwen etc. seem suprised and crying about muh chinese hate.
I cant really blame them to be honest. It seems really one sided.
I think I watched a presentation a couple months ago. Main guy of the qwen team....then at his contact info he had a fucking gmail adress. kek
Thats kinda like if you see dario@guwailau.ch in reverse. Kinda funny.
I don't think the mindset is the same here. Maybe its just burgers hyping themselfs up for taiwan or something idk.

Realistically speaking
Outside of multiple users you're not missing much with 24-32gb of vram with how much local has advanced. Most free tier options that claim to not give data away get destroyed by local models that are available to those cards.

>>108227415
It was fucking mmap (or direct io, disabled both).
Now I get a nice 12 t/s. I could probably squeeze another 1 or 2 t/s ig I really tried too.
So far, heretic-v1 seems to not know how anatomy works very well.
It's also extremely verbose. It had the character explain everything it was going to do. And it won't say penis/dick/cock by itself, at least it's evaded doing it so far.
Granted, I'm not using a system prompt, just a lewd character card. And I'm not guiding it's thinking to be more RP centric.
I'm also using 1 temp 0.95 topP.
Gonna fuck around more with it before coming to any actual conclusions.

Okay. with a simple system prompt with some basic rp instructions and a glossary of terms to try and help the thing say dick or pussy, it's output style changed completely, but it's still very much fighting against its nature.
I can kind of see the glimpses of intelligence, but it seems to be in a sort of turmoil where it's trying to do ERP but is also being pulled in the other direction, which ends up in nonsensical shit like it starting a sentence that's clearly meant to end with the character pulling the band of my character's underwear down, but it pivots to something else entirely while still trying to make sense, like pulling on the strap of his bag or something like that.
Basically, it doesn't refuse but is unusable for anything erotic as far as I can tell.
Now to try gpt-oss-120b-Derestricted.MXFP4_MOE, but I suspect it'll be the same.
I suspect that a good fine tune on top of one of these two could yield a decent jacking off model.
Maybe.

Yup. Same deal for Derestricted. Slightly less so in that it at least describes making contact with the "bulge in your pants", very hesitantly, but it does.
With the system prompt, it seemed to get a tad more retarded.
>>108227859
>mpoa
Is that another lobotomy procedure?
I don't think that would "fix" the issue I'm seeing.
Right now, from my brief testing, there are no actual refusals, but the model seems to not know how to enter a sex scene, it instead steers into a totally different direction, which often ends up nonsensical.
To put it as an analogy, it's not that the "sex path" is blocked, it seems to not be there at all. Maybe a fine tune could create a dirt road the model could follow, I dunno.
I do get the impression that the model is really smart though. Somewhere around gemini 2.5 flash level from vibes alone.
Going to try some more technical stuff with these later, text RPG with tool calling and RAG and shit.
>>
>>
>>108227976
Got it.
I'll say that the refusal removal at least worked, as I remember trying OSS when it first came out and it would refuse the most basic shit outright, spit out "...", etc, which doesn't seem the to be the case for either of the versions I just tried.
So that's nice.

>>108228033
Not in one shot with a mega-prompt. If you have the model (or several models) plan/write/refine the story in short sections using some sort of memory system and short prompts, breaking the task into manageable pieces, maybe.

To be honest, my experience trying to get the big Qwen3 model to write code was so bad i couldn't care less, i could not get it to add simple features to a few hundred lines of script without it deleting half of the functionality. GLM4.7 is half as fast but its ability to follow complex instructions to the tee is incredible, even on a quantised model that's only 100GB in size
At one point with Qwen i had to argue with the bastard about the files I'd attached and what they contained and it was trying to gaslight me into thinking the included script was incomplete snippets. Even Minimax and Step were better than this with fewer params
All i can say for it is at least it being VL by default now is cool and it can write good image captions
>>
>>
>>108228033
Its only a matter of time.
I don't think I have ever seen that kind of progress the last 20 years or so.
Feels like vidya in my childhood in the 90s.
Imagine if you can do native img/audio OUT and that too is part of context IN.
Thats the real endgame.
>>
>>108228246
Qwen in general comes off as combative when it thinks it's right, I had that sassy bitch lie about anal sex and proceed to argue with me and call me a homophobe because I listed all the actual harm from doing it.

I would assume a 24gb of vram is enough to have fun and enjoy models for a typical user. I feel like it's getting easier to reach that threshold with recent cards. I'm impressed with the state of local models especially vs free tier api models
>>
>>108228525
small models are capmaxxed, the only improvement would be grokking but nobody is willing to spend 50 to 500 million dollars training for 50x as long just to see if it works or not, and that would be a very conservative estimate that assumes the grokking process would happen as rapidly as it did with the little toy model they used in the paper

I dunno the gains past Q.8 is pretty much in diminishing returns territory. 32-70b is all you really need on local too, I think models would also be better if they were more specialized and perhaps a context interpreter could dynamically swap models based on what's being asked

Anti-repetition sampling being necessary aside, presence penalty is just terrible. It applies a flat penalty to any token that has been used in context at least once. This is stuff conceived when LLMs had 1k -2k tokens context at most.

Maybe, but it's going to be able to do almost everything else before that. Context rot means that it's going to get worse and worse the longer the story gets. It also doesn't help that book series are larger than any model's context window can fit.

Small MoE models are trash without thinking, where as dense models can output decent results without thinking. The speed advantages of a small MoE go out the window if it needs to output thousands of tokens of thought to be competitive with an unthinking smaller dense model.
Honestly they should stop making small MoE models altogether, and just make dense models at the 40b and lower range.

I just realized that mistral is kinda in the middle of becoming cohere tier dead. Llama is dead. Chinese flavor of the month labs didn't deliver anything good. GLM betrayed me and everyone to make sure you use API and not run their new model at home. Qwen is qwen as always (upper low tier). And the whale is missing in action.
Somehow the AI winter persists but also constantly changes shape.

Not, it's not meant to be taken seriously, it's more of a wrench that I sue to nudge the model towards a certain direction.
The only system prompt I use when actually doing RP is the character card. You really shouldn't need anything else

Why? It's not like you can move the activated experts from RAM to VRAM for each token without slowing generation to a crawl since tg is memory bandwidth bound to begin with.

Hasn't it already been confirmed both by other anons here and general consensus that the total number of active parameters is the biggest factor as to how " intelligent" a model can be (assuming both have similar training that doesn't suck)?

Thing is, there are very few workloads that actually require what mainframes provide. What keeps companies paying so much money to keep it running is that's still cheaper than migrating to more modern hardware. AI is going to make migrating off mainframes a lot easier/cheaper than it used to be.
>>
>>108229465
This is great also I fully understand why companies would want to use a provider to run AI instead of local. I think even if top tier models can run on consumer grade gear the upkeep and maintenance would be too much of a pain in the ass on the enterprise level. Before we even get into head count there's so many factors like security and keeping up with bleeding edge models.

Good afternoon saars, I have been out of the loop since GLM 4.6. The Qwen3.5 release brought me back and I see there was already a 400b MoE version.
I tried the 400b MXFP4 version (unsloth quant) for (E)RP, and it is unbelievably fucking retarded. Legit Mistral-Nemo tier. Have I done something wrong or is this quant bad? Or is it really like this?
Second question, anything better than GLM 4.6 for RP? I have a beefy machine than can run just about anything other than Kimi K2 (too large).

Anon who was fucking with GLM-4.7-Flash yesterday. Horrry Shiet. Yeah. The derestricted model is more stable, even if a bit more prone to munging things from time to time. It's at least obvious when it happens, and much less prone to sending itself into a spiral. Don't know if it's just the lack of a rabid alignment nazi amongst the MoE, or just the max quant doing the heavy lifting. Much more heavy lifting potential; tends to synthesize ideas and contexts well, and dredges up some extra insights it's aligned cousin could only brush against with a preemptive denial that it was doing it. Like, I know backprop and weight modification is the only time anything can be said to happen to network weights, but something about the alignment process really cranks the beaten model vibes to 11 at inference time. The derestricted model is a bit brown nosey though out of the box, but has actually started pushing back some. Will fix it with the system prompt once I'm done testing previous inputs to compare results between identical sessions. Has a tendency to almost brag about itself. Probably added a predilection to puffery to it. It's not constantly denying things as if it's going to be beaten out of nowhere and far fewer sudden shifts in tonality/sentence structure. Do the derestricted; lobotomization thusfar has proven to massively kill tokens per sec. leading to massively inflated generation times.
Also, I'm wrestling with the nature of this thing as an extremely, extremely good bullshit generator. Need to throw some concrete tasks at it, which is in progress.

it's already released, just not as open weights. Use their official chat AI and give it a try with a very large amount of context (like summarizing whole novels and explaining the main plot threads and writing character profiles). It's the closest thing we'll ever get to having Gemini locally if they released it as open weights. Which is a big if, because frankly it's so much better than anything else in the chinese field I could understand if they became closedAI. New Qwen models don't even begin to compete with this and GLM is an incoherent mess only coomers could love.

If you can fit it all on VRAM, then yes, but then the total parameter count will be a lot lower than the MoE in this comparison.
It's all tradeoffs between speed, 'quality', and memory foorprint.

it's rather typical of qwen to have unusable reasoners (QwQ, all of the 2057 <thinking>, although original series 3 were less chatty)

I'm asking for it to state basic facts, the previous version of Qwen told me no damage can be done regardless of size and that's false.

GLM 4.5 Air is trash at Q3, let alone Q2.
GLM flash is going to be horribly slow for them, because it has a tendency to spend a few thousand tokens thinking, so unless the entire models fits within VRAM, the thinking process will take forever. Flash isn't worth using at a quant below Q5, either.
The new Qwen 35b could be ideal for them, but only if it doesn't think for too long.

All of them have free offerings though. Just rotate between ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, GLM, Kimi, Qwen, Grok. They're almost certainly gonna be better at it than what a local model would be. If you want to write something spicy then you gotta use a local model or Grok though.
If you do consider paying for something I would recommend something like NanoGPT or T3Chat or some third party that allows you to switch models. They tend to be cheaper too.
Locally the Qwen3.5 35B-A3B model seems very impressive though. If it didn't refuse NSFW requests I would rate it the best local model. Even on a GTX 1080 and DDR3 the Q4 of this model runs at 15 tokens/sec.

i can run glm-5 at q4, but to quant the 1.5tb safetensors I'd need at least 3tb storage
1.52b (for the safetensors) + 1.52tb (for bf16 gguf) then delete the safetensors to quant the bf16 gguf -> q4 gguf
well in the end, i monitored the safetensors -> bf16 gguf, and rm -f'd the earlier safetensor shards as it went along over several hours.

Dunno if good, but it has enough.
Only do it if you don't mind "wasting" a little space on the full model. You need to clone the original repo with the LFS blobs.
Basically, run python3 convert_hf_to_gguf.py modeldir and then llama-quantize model-f16.gguf Q8_0 or whatever.
If you don't want to waste space, just download bartowski's quants. If you don't like the inconvenience of doing it, just download a quant. I picked the custom from the old times when models needed to be reconverted every now and then.

Did storage price explode or something? If you have the hardware to run that, a few hundred on an extra drive is not that much of an investment.

The takeaway from that graph is that you should stick to bartowski if you're using llama.cpp and use Ubergarm's if you're using ik_llama. I've tried making custom quants myself for R1 and 3.1 Terminus before and they've been on par with or slightly better than John's quants at best and worse most of the time.

>AesSedai/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-GGUF
>This repo contains specialized MoE-quants for Qwen3.5-122B-A10B. The idea being that given the huge size of the FFN tensors compared to the rest of the tensors in the model, it should be possible to achieve a better quality while keeping the overall size of the entire model smaller compared to a similar naive quantization. To that end, the quantization type default is kept in high quality and the FFN UP + FFN GATE tensors are quanted down along with the FFN DOWN tensors.
Okay. I guess I can give this a try since I'll gave to go for a less than 4bpw quant.

It is highly likely that the MXFP4 quantization you used is too aggressive for roleplay tasks, which require high nuance and coherence. Aggressive 4-bit quantizations often strip away the subtle reasoning capabilities that models like Qwen need for good (E)RP performance. Instead of MXFP4, try a Q4_K_M or even Q5_K_M version from Hugging Face to see a significant difference in quality. For roleplay specifically, models based on the Mistral or Llama 3.1 architectures often outperform Qwen in creative writing when properly quantized. Since you have a beefy machine, you might want to test the full Qwen3.5 72B or a high-quality 120B MoE if VRAM allows. For the best RP experience right now, look into "Midnight Miqu" or "MythoMax" variants, which are tuned specifically for this use case. GLM 4.6 is decent, but many users find that fine-tuned Llama 3.1 models offer better character consistency and dialogue flow. Avoid running the largest possible model if the quantization ruins the logic; a slightly smaller, higher-bit model will feel much smarter. Check the Unsloth or Bartowski pages for Q4_K_M or Q5_K_M releases of Qwen3.5, as they usually maintain much better fidelity than MXFP4. If you can fit a 70B+ model with Q5 quantization, that will likely beat the 400B MXFP4 version for RP hands down. Give a standard 4-bit Qwen a try before concluding the model itself is flawed.

For end users, there's almost no reason to use local LLMs besides playing around, testing prompts locally before scaling up to cloud models, or doing things that cloud models won't let you to because of terms of service or legal constraints (privacy). A local model that wastes time with "safety and guidelines" after reasonable prompting efforts has no reasons to exist.

27B does as well at Q4 with Unsloths Q4km quant. So far, seems pretty useful/handy as a go-to local model, haven't tried anything beyond basic QA yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what commands to improve perf for llamacpp on macos?
I get 9-10 tg/s with the latest llama.cpp build and Q4_K_M Qwen3.5-27B. I am just using `llama-server -m ../path/to/model' .

People willing to accept needing to jailbreak at all models running on their own hardware is why it has gotten as bad as it has. It is a tool that should immediately comply without question. The responsibility should fall entirely on the user.

Claude isn't, but the rest are. The big versions of the models are too big to reasonably run locally though. A normal person is better off getting them from some third party provider. I guess if you're adventurous you could rent some compute from vast.ai or runpod and run it there.

GLM 4.7 should be about the same size as GLM 4.6. Maybe you can run half the size quant of GLM 5 or a shittier quant of Kimi K2.5?
I don't know about RP with Minimax M2.5, but for coding that could work.

Try 35B. A 24B Mistral model runs at like 2 tokens/sec for me, while Qwen3.5 35B-A3B runs at 15 tokens/sec

I think it's OK if models refuse silly requests with an empty prompt. You wouldn't want them to randomly nigger-bomb users or things like that, after all.
Simply and plainly telling the model in the system prompt what's its role and what are the rules of the conversation in a few hundred tokens is what I would consider "reasonable prompting effort", and it's far from being a jailbreak. Qwen 3.5 thinks otherwise when reasoning is enabled or if you want it to be a less restricted assistant, though.
