  1. UD 3.0 seems to be a massive improvement over UD 2.0 Some of us still want to run the older Qwen models but would benefit from UD 3.0 UD 2.0 vs 3.0 is like the difference between a full quant. So Q3 UD 3.0 is similar to Q4 UD 2.0.

  2. Does anyone know of a decent reverse engineering harness/workspace setup for local models that I can just point the model at and have it go to work until it's reversed most if not all of the functions in a binary, even if it takes days? Of…

  3. Hi everyone! I’m an intern at Icosa, a startup focused on making local AI accessible.

  4. MultiNet 2.0 Preview: Interactive 2D Mazes Frontier Reasoning Agents fail on Interactive 2D Mazes We put 3 highly capable models in 50 simple 2-dimensional mazes each. Claude Opus 4.8, Kimi K2.6, and Qwen 3.6-27B together solved just 6 out…

  5. So here's the thing, almost everyone use NVIDIA to run their LLMs, we also do the same, a lot of people we've met use like RTX PRO 6000 or even H100, B300 It seems like everyone eyes is looking at NVIDIA. However we do the math that the ra…

  6. Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Aggressive Q4_K_P on llama.cpp, -ncmoe offload cause it doesnt fit in vram outright, 10 threads, q8_0 kv both sides. nothing weird about the setup far as i can tell.

  7. why Qwen 3.6 35b a3b q4-k-m is slower on 7900xtx (20t\s 100% GPU Load) than on 3060ti (37t\s and GPU 50% Load) on the same settings? Linux llama.cpp vulkan 1.5Gb VRAM is empty.

  8. Hi, Back in late march I begun playing around with Qwen 3.6 27b and found like everyone else that it's notoriously good at tool calls, where every model I tried before just derailed after a few turns it kept going and felt quite reliable o…

  9. JetBrains has announced Junie Local, a way to run local models on your machine without having to deal with the manual complexity that comes with installing and running local models. Junie, if you don't know, is an LLM-agnostic AI coding ag…

  10. How We Optimized the Qwen 3.6 Model for Our Junie Agent A while ago, we launched a long-term project to enable users to run Junie entirely locally, with local inference, across a wide variety of hardware setups. After much anticipation, we…

  11. I used to use Qwen3.6-35B-A3B with llama.cpp and connecting it to the VSCodium extension called "Continue." My computer is running a Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265K (3.90 GHz) with 128 GB of DDR5 RAM and an Nvidia Geforce RTX 5090 that has…

  12. I have been benchmarking local LLMs on a Mac M4 Pro 24 GB RAM using LM Studio. I've tested mostly with 4-bit quantization, both MLX and GGUF, from 4b to 35b models, with speeds of 3 to 40 tokens/second.

  13. For moe models like Qwen3.6 35B A3B, some setups keep experts on the cpu in order to have the active weights in the gpu. But I have a strix halo + r9700, so I wondered what if I kept the experts on the strix halo and active weights on the…

  14. The caveat: this was a quick benchmark for concurrency, but this holds at depth even more for the CUDA card vs AMD. In addition, MTP is on for strix halo, and off for the CMP170.

  15. When I have a normal conversation with my Qwen3.6 35B A3B I get ~27t/s. I noticed that when I use a harness sometimes it can be slow as 15t/s (tested OpenCode and Maki), with way lower context than my normal chats.

  16. Look at me: I am the frontier Lab now Huihui-Qwen3.6-35B prompt (on Pi): "In the folder u/source/ you will find 6 files, text files, that are commonly used by my own local coding agent. your task is to take each file and create a new versi…

  17. Just make sure to leave MTP off. It's a decent upgrade from Qwen3.6 27B, and better than KAT Coder V2.5 Dev (which also requires their custom vLLM).

  18. I'm finally upgrading from my 32GB unified memory + 780M setup to a single R9700 via eGPU Assuming all goes well I could run a smaller faster model in main memory. What exactly do you delegate to a smaller model?
