We are so back. There are NO major mistakes. NONE.
This is 122B at Q4_K_L, bart's quant, with bf16 mmproj.
It's missing a newline, and it did a big ぉ, so it wasn't perfect, but essentially it got all the important things right. This is yuge. No model I personally tested under 200B has achieved this. This is better than Gemma, previous Qwens, and GLM 4.6V (106B).
Something interesting though, I also tested the 27B, and the same amount errors as Gemma did. It makes me wonder how good a >30B Gemma could've been...

Sup niggers
Trying to set up a local-first Claude Code-like environment on my home network. I’ve got ollama+opencode currently, but naturally those things can change.
I have two rtx-2070 supers so I’m not deluded that I will get Claude sonnet level replies but any tool is better than no tool. I tried qwen2.5-coder 7B, and it’s decent but it doesn’t seem to want to look at the filesystem or call any tools, it seemingly just replies with json and doesn’t actually call the tools. Anyone have experience with a setup similar to mine?
I’m thinking either I need to upgrade to qwen3.5 8B or increase context window, perhaps both.

and the coder versions didnt seem that better but i think we're only now seeing agentic level llms with qwen3.5 that's why i think the non-coder were more general and better but ymmv if u used opencode or kilocode or any of those or just asked it for one shot prompts in web interface

Just talking about the subject of benchmarks in general (I am not arguing that there is not a gap, there is)...
Cheating is not the same thing as gaming. You can definitely still game things without cheating, assuming "cheating" means training on the answers to the test that you obtained publicly or privately. And now that I bring that up, it's also entirely possible that they literally just lied or don't mention that they did some sketchy shit. Reminder that the ARC guys literally told us they are partnered with OpenAI to make the current benchmark.

I'm come to terms with the fact that big models are simply out of reach for poorfags right now. I'm honestly pretty damn satisfied with qwen 3.5 27B's quality but it's so fucking SLOW. Is there any reasonably cheap upgrade I can do to my rig to get faster speeds?

tb h i don't think they're seriously pitching their approach for now; it doesn't make much sense.
i can see it being a bit more sensible in ~5ish years when you have a model that is good for 95% of use cases and labs and inference providers don't want to jump from model to model every 6 months

I hope they won't backtrack on their "smart" safety and turn it into a gpt-oss. They deliberately trained Gemma 2/3 so that it could write "harmful responses" if you prompted it sufficiently well (not a lot of effort for that). The disclaimer in picrel doesn't happen by coincidence, it's a trained behavior (it can be prompted off too).

when do you guys think the bubble is gonna crash? Now obviously I don't think AI is going away but these gigantic investments inbetween these companies will definitely stop happening.

Cloud models have already stalled. If you haven't already caught onto them shifting from "clever but expensive models" like o3 to "cheap models plus router to even cheaper models" like GPT-5, you haven't been paying attention
>>
>>
>>108279822
The bubble will crash after China breaks the nvidia monopoly, that might happen by 2035, and has to happen before 2048 (it's a crucial element of taking over Taiwan, I don't see how they can do it without Chinese advanced semiconductors better than TSMC, and reunification has a hard deadline of 2049, the centenary of PRC).
However, I think it might crash sooner. No clue when. Coreweave runs an insane pyramid scheme and I find it absolutely insane that A100/3090ti still cost what they do, it's such an old tech.

The big one will describe nsfw images just fine and it usually won't even lecture you about it.
>>
>>
>>
>>108279908
For China to break the monopoly they not only need to catch up, they need to match ongoing developments. While communism allows for forced allocation of resources on a single company, which should be more efficient, the workers have no incentive to do their best work, so it's unlikely that they'll ever truly catch up in a real sense unless AI models hit a cap and stagnate.
So it's basically the question of if AI will go the way of iPhones or not where the tech more or less peaks and flatlines.

China uses market incentives, doing well in the market is rewarded about as much as in US to some level.
Your success is cut down if you cross some red lines like critiquing CCP openly, even then if you agree to move away from the public eye you will live a comfy life, but whatever productive forces you built will be seized by the state (think Jack Ma), that might have some degree of cooling effect, people like Altman or Elon wouldn't be as motivated to strive in that system because they see AI development as a way towards being divinely ordained kings, and CCP wouldn't allow them creating a center of power separate from it.
It's a long confusing debate that system is communist, most would say it isn't, Deng Xiaoping swore it is, some people call it statist, others capitalist with strong industrial policy, some even call it sinofascist.
It's so nice that Chinese LLMs are open source and science is world class and transparent, I think they don't do it for ideological reasons, it's just to deny the American corps of moat-based revenue, which is also based.

Most of the time rocm is the same or slower than vulkan on consumer AMD cards, if it doesn't just segfault or crash the amdgpu driver. Just disregard rocm and use vulkan backend if you aren't using instinct cards.

anyways - reddit says MTP speculative decoding doesnt really work when you quantize. also mtp only being available on the larger models 27 and up(?).
speculative decoding with a trained draft model that is specialised in math, coding etc is going to better in certain scenarios vs mtp so these techniques seem to have their places

is anyone still doing SYCL? vulkan is probably fast enough.

are bigger ones even worth it?

Qwen3.5 35B-A3B at q4 to q6 would work and be relatively fast. You could also try Qwen 122B-A10B and the Qwen 27B models. The latter two are going to be slower, but better than the first one. The first one is guaranteed to give you more than 20 tokens/sec though.

The new 35B A3B vs the old 80B A3B, anybody has compared those?
With 64gb of RAM, I can use q8 of the first or q5km of the other.
I could probably fit q6, but it would be tight.

Two questions:
1. Can qwen3.5 be jailbroken/prompted to be uncensored for erp? In my limited testing it's fighting with the sysprompt that gets glm4.7 nasty.
2. Is glm4.6 better than 4.7 for erp? 4.7 seems more safetyslopped.

i wasted way too much time confused about why models were getting retarded suddenly whenever i started a new chat
turns out it was because i switched to open webui and it defaults to the chunked context mode instead of full context so it just fucking forgets (or rather never sees) most of what you sent it. good shit. good fucking shit. i am NOT seething btw
this also means i unduly shat upon the new qwen models. guess it's time to try them again

Never used open web ui, but assuming that it uses the chat completion API, you could always bake something like >>108280884 directly into the jinja file using

I was going to try making one of my own but I got confused when I tested the perplexity of the bf16 gguf and found it was higher then the Q8 gguf. took a bit of the steam out, I'm not sure how I am supposed to compare it if the baseline is worse then the compressed version. it started after I looked at Bartkowski's calibration data and realized there was no fucking instruction data. but I want a model that can follow the prompts so I figured, I should train the importance matrix on templated examples to get a fair representative of the models use case. I was going to just run my task with the bf16 to get the replies for the prompt and use the logs to calculate the imatrix, but it seems like a lot of work, and i'm not really sure how to compare them other then vibes. I suppose it probably can't hurt the model but, it might just be a waste of time.

I ran in to a situation with the perplexity program forcing it to chunk the data. for some reason it demands the input file to be 2x the context, I kinda figured the imatrix program would probably do the same, cutting the instruction and response in half. which is the opposite of the goal. I might look in to it further since the only downside is my task runs at half speed to collect the calibration data and the down time to calculate the matrix and make the comparisons. I don't really know cpp but cluade or Gemini might be able to help me make it work right if it does force some weird chunking thing.

Did a speed test on the latest Llama.cpp with the latest quants of 122B from Bartowski, comparing between my own offloading command that utilizes wisdom about what works best with my system and MoEs, and --fit. The result respectively was
prompt eval time = 51649.24 ms / 30960 tokens ( 1.67 ms per token, 599.43 tokens per second)
eval time = 7412.39 ms / 111 tokens ( 66.78 ms per token, 14.97 tokens per second)
total time = 59061.62 ms / 31071 tokens
and
prompt eval time = 69851.59 ms / 30960 tokens ( 2.26 ms per token, 443.23 tokens per second)
eval time = 8630.76 ms / 111 tokens ( 77.75 ms per token, 12.86 tokens per second)
total time = 78482.36 ms / 31071 tokens
So although the difference isn't radical, I can confirm manual is still the best, in my case, which may not be true for all systems and models.
This is the command I use btw.
/pathtollama-server -m "/pathtomodel.gguf" -c 188000 -ngl 49 -ts 43,6 -fa on -ub 2560 -ot "\.(7|8|9|1[0-9]|2[0-9]|3[0-9]|40|41|42)\..*_exps.*=CPU" -t 7 -tb 16 --no-mmap --port 8041 --no-webui --jinja --cache-ram 0 --ctx-checkpoints 0 -kvu --no-webui --no-slots
I have a 3090 + 3060, with the 3060 on a low speed PCIe lane (this seems to matter). The logic for offloading goes: offload all layers (ngl), split so that the small GPU gets only a few layers (ts), and then offload all expert tensors to RAM (ot) until precisely you get to the layers that you put onto the second GPU. Trial and error the split (while adjusting ot) until it fits into the second GPU. If the main GPU still has room left, subtract tensors from the ot flag (in my case, I was able to allocate 6 layers back into the GPU).
So basically the MoE part of most layers on the big GPU gets offloaded to CPU, but the small GPU retains all its tensors for the layers that go onto it. I guess the explanation is that separating each layer's tensors onto different devices increases the amount of PCIe transfers.

>>108281492
--fit already does the most important parts of what I do with -ot. The only thing I'm doing extra is accounting for a bad PCIe connection to an extra GPU, which not everyone has, and in some cases if someone does have a similar setup, it might not be such a bad PCIe that it results in a speed difference. It just depends on what is bottlenecking, and I'm not sure if that's possible to work out with a program without having it run benchmarks and do trial and error.

I found no matter how I tried to off load it was faster to just run 2 servers to decouple the slower card, but that only works if you can batch your task. its probably my fault for using a comically oversized quant, but once I realized it was too slow I tried going down in size but I couldn't cope with the quality loss. I should have never tried the q8 to start, that way my expectations wouldn't be so inflated. at any rate I found it was faster to just increase the context size and -np using -cmoe to offload all the experts and just let the cpu churn it out.

600gb/s is still pretty slow, still better than strix halo or a lot of the (still more expensive) macshit, but also still not great
if this thing costs any more than $700 its not worth it over dual gpu
