A Hugging Face repo packages the model with the n-gram lookup table offloaded to SSD and streamed. The credible reply in the thread: a builder on an RTX Pro 6000 running the RAM variant reports over 12k prefill and over 170 tok/s single-stream decode, plus 440 tok/s at concurrency 4 on a 500W power-limited workstation. Another runs the SSD version on a 5090 with 64GB DDR5 at 34 tps and 55 pp, and swapped the q4 n-gram table for bf16 with no speed penalty and better output. The reason it works, per the thread, is that n-gram lookups are predictable enough to prefetch, so SSD latency stops mattering. (r/LocalLLaMA)

For about a year, "run your agent locally" meant accepting a model that couldn't reliably call a tool twice in a row. That excuse is gone. Meta Superintelligence Labs published Muse Glimmer today: a 29.6B dense causal transformer, 52 layers, 6,656 hidden dim, with a ~1.8B ViT-...

This is a supply-chain fact, and most people are still treating it as a geopolitics argument. Sequoia published "America's Open-Model Paradox" on July 24 with the number that reframes the whole conversation: Qwen's share of open-model fine-tunes went from 1% in January 2024 to...
DeepSeek released V4 Preview on April 24 with two open-weight variants: V4-Pro (1.6T total parameters, 49B activated via MoE) and V4-Flash (284B parameters, 13B activated). Both support 1M-token context windows. Both are Apache 2.0 licensed. Both are live right now on Hugging...
