So I was bitching in the last thread about GPT-5 and Gemini 3 sucking with OOD use cases. I decided to try Kimi 2.5 and it ran laps around them. It's just way better at searching the web for more up to date API documentation/etc and actually following the information it gleans. Quite frankly I just want to make a special event for my minecraft server and don't give a shit about Tiananmen square.

Nvidia would love nothing more than reducing VRAM requirements for all of software because it lowers their cost of production and they can raise their margins by skimping out on memory. They hook people through their ecosystem of vendor-lock-in software stack and in-house tools that all are written in CUDA or use libraries dependent on CUDA in some way.
The cheaper the GPU parts get, the more profit for Nvidia.

That's hilarious.
Reasoning was sort of supposed to "fix" that kind of thing.
Since models can't backtrack, it gets it wrong in the reasoning process then corrects itself before providing the final answer.
But alas.
>>
>>107988455
even in reasoning, it only takes a single word to throw everything off
you can see it clearly when reasoning is doing that maybe X maybe Y thing, a word slips in that is totally incorrect that implies something untrue but it's enough to throw off the entire thing and it goes off the rails with 100% confidence

i personally make kimi think as the character first and then do a coherence check like this.

K2.5 agent swarm is fucking incredible. Nothing supports it yet besides kimi-code and web chat. Opencode is probably closest to implementation
Every single model will be doing this on next release. Claude definitely.
If you don't understand, kimi will spin up multiple instances of itself in kimi-code and delegate tasks to sub agents. Its incredibly fast too.

Building llama.cpp (the one I have that works, pr17400) with Vulkan, CUDA and BLAS. I don't know if it's a good idea but I have a 12GB nvidia card and a 8gb AMD card.

bros GLM keeps inventing the most asspull reasons to keep a character alive even when they're currently getting eaten by a vampire
it reached into the system prompt and said that since a rivalry was implied as a possibility and this was the start of the story, if the char died there would be no rivalry, so the char has to live
what even is that logic
>>
>>107989167
The LLM can't think, there's no logic or reasoning involved. It's only telling you that when you ask it because that's what the most likely response should be, according to its training. Likewise, the original asspull was also because that's simply the most likely thing to happen based on its training. If there wasn't an adequate amount of fiction where a character dies in the training data, then the model will basically never do it and instead give you garbage where the character miraculously lives (regardless of how poor the story quality is as a result).
>>
>>107989251
I know, but I'm just enjoying how hard it's reaching
it's like saying you can't die to a bandit because you still have a deliver 3 red flowers fetch quest to complete for the starting village
I deleted that line and I'm now watching it try and find other reasons to keep the char alive
I obviously could just force it but this is more hilarious

Hey anons. I've successfully compiled VulkanSDK + CUDA + OpenBLAS. I'm not entirely sure if -DGGML_BLAS does anything if you already have DGGML_CUDA and DGGML_VULKAN active. Either way, I've written a bit of a guide to set up something similar, since I have and old RX580 I wasn't fully utilizing: https://rentry.org/AMD_NVIDIA_LLAMA_BASTARD_SETUP
I don't know if the knowledge of the possibility of such setups is useful to anybody, but basically it should work with any CUDA or VULKAN enabled cards (didn't try ROCm since my card doesn't support it afaik). Technically that should allow me to run two LLM at once (one on GPU1 and one on GPU2), although I highly suspect the model in the 8GB card would be severely retarded. Much more interesting would be if I can get up to 84GB unified memory, although inference may be slow, to run larger models / higher quants? It solves quite a few software architecture problems for me (working with TTS and other models simultaneously should now be possible).
Either way. Enjoy. Or don't.

They do the opposite. By adding a little more VRAM each generation, they make you upgrade because your good enough card won't handle new games well, even though actual performance only improves by 10%. Meanwhile, they can sell cards that cost ten times more for jobs needing slightly more VRAM than the best gaming card has

I'm still downloading it, but if it's anything like their K2-Thinking quants then you need to enable special token printing (--special) for it to work properly.
adding that also makes it print the end token that you drop with --reverse-prompt "<|im_end|>"

LoPRo: Enhancing Low-Rank Quantization via Permuted Block-Wise Rotation
https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.19675
>Post-training quantization (PTQ) enables effective model compression while preserving relatively high accuracy. Current weight-only PTQ methods primarily focus on the challenging sub-3-bit regime, where approaches often suffer significant accuracy degradation, typically requiring fine-tuning to achieve competitive performance. In this work, we revisit the fundamental characteristics of weight quantization and analyze the challenges in quantizing the residual matrix under low-rank approximation. We propose LoPRo, a novel fine-tuning-free PTQ algorithm that enhances residual matrix quantization by applying block-wise permutation and Walsh-Hadamard transformations to rotate columns of similar importance, while explicitly preserving the quantization accuracy of the most salient column blocks. Furthermore, we introduce a mixed-precision fast low-rank decomposition based on rank-1 sketch (R1SVD) to further minimize quantization costs. Experiments demonstrate that LoPRo outperforms existing fine-tuning-free PTQ methods at both 2-bit and 3-bit quantization, achieving accuracy comparable to fine-tuning baselines. Specifically, LoPRo achieves state-of-the-art quantization accuracy on LLaMA-2 and LLaMA-3 series models while delivering up to a 4 speedup. In the MoE model Mixtral-8x7B, LoPRo completes quantization within 2.5 hours, simultaneously reducing perplexity by 0.4 and improving accuracy by 8\%. Moreover, compared to other low-rank quantization methods, LoPRo achieves superior accuracy with a significantly lower rank, while maintaining high inference efficiency and minimal additional latency.

>Most "base" releases have some instruction data baked in. TrueBase doesn't. It's 10T tokens of pretraining on a 400B sparse MoE, with no instruct data and no LR annealing.
>If you're a researcher who wants to study what high-quality pretraining produces at this scale—before any RLHF, before any chat formatting—this is one of the few checkpoints where you can do that. We think there's value in having a real baseline to probe, ablate, or just observe. What did the model learn from the data alone? TrueBase is where you answer that question.

Not really. They say Trinity Large uses a highly sparse MoE architecture. Qwen3-Next and Ernie 5.0 are also high sparcity models with only 3% active parameters, which for 399B would have been 12B, so it's just about right.

It really makes you think if these people are even testing their own models. I appreciate the direction, but qwen2 was still pretty good. It just needed more parameters.

What's the best way to get glm-4.7-flash to stop thinking? I have '/nothink' in the sillytavern 'user message suffix' but that's not it. Putting "do not think out loud" in the prompt generally stops it, but not always. Is there a non-thinking instruct version yet? Giving it an 'ooc: stop thinking out loud' stops it on the next reply but then it's back to doing it again.
I like this model a lot for roleplay. It's not 'the best' but it writes differently from mistral small or qwen3-30b-a3-instruct in a way I enjoy.

Say I have a notebook with a dedicated Nvidia GPU and an AMD APU.
Is there anything at all that the APU could be used for to eek out a bit of extra performance?
I imagine not what's with the overhead of shared memory and all that, but it's also a bit of extra compute, so maybe?
I'll fuck around later with using -ot to maybe move a couple of tensors to the APU reserved memory (without triggering dynamic allocation), but I figured I'd ask.
>>
>>
>>107993976
try img2img with noise and low... whatever the other value is. essentially repaints the image with a bias towards the original.
>>107993977
I have been hallucinated at by an LLM telling me that the APU ought to give SOME performance boon what with supposedly being better at FP calculations and/or parallelizing
>>
Got the option to get either a 1080 ti 11GB or a Tesla P40 24GB for around the same price. Anyone got experience with the P40 and LLMs? Does current software like LM studio even support those? Or is its additional vram mitigated so much by its processing power that having the model partly offloaded to ram with the 1080ti about the same speed?
>>
>>

>>107994052
>what with supposedly being better at FP calculations

Yeah, no. The bandwidth between devices would make splitting the processing between and APU and a dGPU extremely slow, I'm pretty sure.
>>107994131

Those used to be the go to a couple years ago.
Llama.cpp still supports them AFAIK.

I have no idea about how bad it would be, I thought the question was about running purely on APU vs CPU

they do the exact same thing image diffusion models do, but on a section of tokenized text, instead of autoregressively guessing the next token

>>107993815
The sad reality is reasoning and logical backbones are NOT getting better, so the current cope is to just push bigger and bigger models and call people who can't run them vramlets.
Yes, it's been this way for a while now. The point of balance between spending and what you get out of the model is still stuck at nemo finetunes. Anyone simping for anything higher than like 30b is coping because 170b models perform more or less the same for RP as 15b models do.
>>
>>107993583
On llamacpp you can use --reasoning-budget 0
But most of the time it will seamlessly thinking along with the answer instead. Idk if this is from incomplete llamacpp support or from the model itself has that behavior.

Some of the recent 70B models like joyous have been pretty good but are again 70B (might've just been because I was only at 48GB though.) Is the improvement in BPW that noticeable with more VRAM? The perplexity graphs didn't really show too much of a difference on exl3 past ~ 4bpw.

Not sure how similar it is, but I was using Rocinante-X-v1b.
Haven't tested it extensively yet, but so far I like it quite a bit. It's reasonably smart and restrained enough to handle both domineering and subservient characters which I appreciate.
One thing I have noticed though, is that it cares about consent. It has never been a problem so far, but I thought It would not hurt to mention it.

That's just because you're thinking rationally.
>>107996798
Can you make that money back on it, or is it hobby?
If hobby, it doesn't matter.
That said, given RAM prices have 4X over past several months, now is the time to be selling, not buying. These prices are not going to last, and I don't mean that in a buy-now-FOMO thing. I'm considering stripping one of my laptops for its 2-32G DDR5 RAM strips and selling them, moving all the files to another machine until the stupidity blows over. I think I could make, on the RAM, what I paid for the laptop a year ago.

>>107997264
It definitely is a hobby, although IF the prices continue to rise it feels good knowing that I could sell some of it if I needed to granted we don't see a correction.
Been reading up on the recent Engram paper and coming to the realization that if this new architecture is the future, demand for RAM will skyrocket even more than it is already, and I don't want to be locked out of running larger models or quants. It definitely is alot of money to spend on RAM which is why I'm hesitant to just pull the trigger.

Is anyone aware of any guides on how to tweak a model or how to tweak how the model is loaded or run so that it produces an actual response instead of saying your request is sexist, racist, whatever and it is not allowed to answer.
When I first attempted to use llama cpp a few years ago I seem to remeber that you could give it a prompt on the command line and it would just produce text for how ever long you wanted it do and not engage in that sort of behavior or conversation. It would just predext the next word without end and without reasoning.
Or maybe I am the one who is hallucinating.
>>107993977
Compile.llama.cpp with the Vulkan back. It should use both GPUs as long as they support Vulkan. I have used it before with two regular GPUs without issue.
I have an old laptop with a 2060 and some AMD chip but I won't have time to try and test it out until Friday or Saturday.
Let us know how well it works if you do.

Even if the energy build out isn't fast enough to keep up with the number of physical chips, that doesn't mean producers will just flip back to producing DRAM for the consumer market, especially when most chips are already contracted out.

Censorship and refusals are easy to circumvent using a custom system prompt. If that fails, you prefill while also using the system prompt. By prefill, I mean you manually edit the tokens at the top of the context. A good way to do this is using character cards.
