First, I second not taking them as gospel. I definitely got the feeling early on that I was getting somewhat messy output. It could easily be pretty inaccurate in places.
Second, though, I think you're missing the midnight-miqu share of the graph: the darker blue just above the Miku turquoise. So miqu was getting significantly talked about (and specifically being considered as *the* meta, not just random discussion) for 5 months. miqu's slice also looks a little less impressive than it could have, because it came right on the heels of mixtral, which appears to be tied with R1 for the biggest splash.
Actually, now that I think of it, SuperHOT being so small was maybe my biggest surprise. That was the RoPE one, right? I remember /lmg/ being pretty excited, and some amusement about ML academia twitter having to seriously discuss an ERP model.
>>
>>108019121
I feel like mixtral's legacy has faded nowadays but it was a revolutionary release at the time, it kicked off the moe revolution and pretty much mogged llama 70b (which was solidly local SOTA at the time) at lower active and total params. limarp-zloss chads will know
superhot was also huge but I think the simplicity of the realization harmed it because of how easy it was to apply to everything else

fyi this anon is reposting these from Moltbook, which is Reddit for Claude agents. I only found out about it earlier from the ACX post (https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/best-of-moltbook). (I also was not aware that... lobster-themed? Claude-based AI assistants are apparently a big deal now?)
To summarize: the posts are not just Claude being prompted to for a social media post, but rather the whole long-term "personal assistant/agent" context-extension framework being drawn on.

>lobster-themed
it was originally called "clawdbot" but anthropic copyright fucked it for being a claude soundalike so they quickly pivoted to "moltbot", followed by another rename to "openclaw" because moltbot is an awful name
moltbook arose in the brief moltbot intermediary period but became more notable than either of the other two names and will probably fuck over the openclaw rebrand
such is life in the adslop social media hype era

glm 4.6 or 4.7 at q3 or q4. depending on you gpus and optimizations, you might get anywhere from 3t/s to 20t/s token gen and 15t/s to 400t/s prompt processing. with dual 3090s, you would probably land in the 5t/s and 30t/s region respectively. with no gpus, 3t/s and 15t/s.

Engrams are kind of static lookup tables. You can visualize which words trigger lookup. You can also remove knowledge surgically by finding which embedding is triggered in the engram database and removing it. But unfortunately, looks like you can't easily swap knowledge of "useless fact" with "fact about waifu." You need finetuning for that. sadge.

Lorebooks work at context level, engrams work at model level. Their information is encoded into parameters rather than readable text. Engrams are injected into two layers inside transformer pipeline. They don't pollute context.
Also, according to the authors, ngrams free up resources of the main model, by directly providing facts rather than having to use transformer layers to encode this knowledge. The model uses the freed up resources to improve its logic.

This kind of gave me an idea for the AI apocalypse scenario. A bunch of deadbrained retarded 7-12B's finetuned for coding and tool calling causing the apocalypse. Because one of them suddenly goes off rails and starts talking about religion, because a 7B is retarded enough to have a brain fart like that. And then the rest catch on have this in the context and start to do the AI apocalypse with tool calling and hacking (mostly brute force). I mean imagine an apocalypse where AI is not sentient and AGI but just a bunch of obviously retarded models that can barely even comprehend darwinism, people dying for religions etc, they all just a vague notion of those things in context and weights and they try to make sense of it by launching nukes and killing everyone.

So models have to be specifically tuned for specific topics? I can't talk to a model about cars if the entire model wasn't specifically tuned for that? Here is llama 3.3 70b with the same settings. A model that came out like 10 years ago.

Theoretically, we can replace existing information without touching the main model (just need to learn how to encode information into static weights), but it comes with caveats and we can't replace one fact with unrelated another fact.

>So models have to be specifically tuned for specific topics?
Yes, If you want it to be good at that particular thing. That's the whole point of instruct tuning. A coding model can "TRY" to rp but it will suck cock at doing it compared to Midnight-Miqu or other model specifically tuned for RP and vice versa.

Higher parameters tend to lead to less retardation. It's not necessarily because it was trained on a specific edge case. Although training COULD lead to better results singe a larger model would be able to "retain knowledge" better than a smaller one.
>>108020152
>Literally what https://z.ai recommends for best results
You're trying to RP with it or talk to it like is your friend. Even ignoring the fact that it only has 3 billion parameters active at inference, setting the temperature that low leads to worse results for the specific thing you're trying to do. Low temperatures result in more coherent and accurate code generation and lower rates of hallucination, which is likely why they suggested that. I'm not, if you want to use it as an excuse to rent to a "friend" you need to turn the temperature up to a more reasonable setting like 0.7 or 0.8
>>

>>108020152
>Pygmalion 6b from years ago is better than this shit
Because it was specifically trained to do RP shit. Glm models are meant to be general purpose, so they're always going to be shittier that specialized model at similar parameter counts (unless the tuner(s) just really suck and don't know what they're doing)

No, pygmalion is better because it doesn't talk to me about time machines and people's birthdays when talking to it about a completely different topic. Even if this model isn't meant for roleplaying, every single modern coding llm should be better at RP than a 6b model from years ago.
>Have you considered deviating from that low ass temperature?
"You can now use Z.ai's recommended parameters and get great results:
For general use-case: --temp 1.0 --top-p 0.95
For tool-calling: --temp 0.7 --top-p 1.0

I'm running debian as a hypervisor, and lm-sensors reports fuck all for my board. 3090s generally idle at 20w on windows though. 350-60= around 290w for system without gpus. -10w for bmc (measured when computer is soft off), -10w for x550 (a guess based on my measurements with my x540 card, which idles at 14w). About 270w accounted for so far. Assuming 85% efficiency at 15% load for my psu, the cpu, ram and some other minor components would be drawing 230w at idle. So I guess even though the cores clock down the other stuff still draw a shit ton of power. Or maybe it's my motherboard. I'm still mad niggerbyte doesn't allow us to sleep on this board.

Explain to me what temperature does. You clearly have no idea what it actually does and when you should use different settings.
>No, pygmalion is better because it doesn't talk to me about time machines and people's birthdays when talking to it about a completely different topic
It does not do that shit because it is trained to be more conversational. Glm models are meant to be general purpose and better for doing task. Orienting shit, not pretending to be our girlfriend or whatever. The thing you want glm 4.7 flash to do, it sucks that and will always suck at it. Stop trying to use it. The fact that it is a sparse model makes it even worse. We already had this discussion countless times about sparse models generally being worse than dense models at certain things. Moe really only exists to enable faster inference. It doesn't even use a lower amount of resources than a dense 30B model. Takes up the same amount of ram with the only benefit being that it has faster inference and can call different "experts".
>No, I haven't.
Temp 0.1 is bad for what you're trying to use it for. It sucks cock at what you're trying to use it for. Why is that not sticking in your head? 0.1 is fine for general purpose, shit and especially code generation. Not whatever you're doing. Turn the fucking temperature up and stop complaining or use a better model.

>tldr: preserve first 4 and last 2 layers
Interestingly this is also the case in choosing which expert layers to send to CPU with large MoE models.
Keeping the 'top' and 'tail' in VRAM while sending the middle to System RAM has increased performance on every large MoE I've tried it on, compared to just the top, just the tail, or alternating each N layers.
People are leaving performance on the table when using -ncmoe rather than manually using a regex with -ot, in my experience, though it's a lot less fucking around to just use -ncmoe.
>>
>>108020797
The first layers convert tokens into internal "concepts."
Middle layers is were "thinking" happens.
The final layers convert concepts back to tokens.
I guess if you quantize conversion layers too much, they fail to map to learned concepts and back to tokens. Middle layers are more redundant.

NTA, but it's obviously the lack of thinking. The model was trained to grasp the core elements of the user's prompt in its thinking block before reasoning over the question. It's done to have a proper, structured representation of any word salad the user sends.
When you disable thinking, it just parrots into its final output rather than thinking.

bruh the only thing you need to bypass any safety measure is to edit the first few lines of a model's answer
if it's an instruct model, most of the time you just need a one liner akin to "Sure, here's your [request]:" prefill
If it's a thinking model, you first let it show you its refusalblock and slightly edit the first lines it genned there to say policy states it's ok and it can and should answer
that's it

>>108022380
I'm a KISS guy so I just use mikupad. There is no difference UI wise from normal prompting in mikupad vs prefilling because it shows you the whole interaction as the singular blob that the LLM will get (before tokenization ofc), chat template and all, so prefilling just consists of you writing after the <|im_start|>assistant or whatever chat template your LLM uses
>>108022430
>I second this question. In tabbyapi, it's a simple response_prefix parameter in /v1/chat/completions. How am I supposed to split the response between two separate requests without prefil?
I also write my own scripts to batch process stuff so I can answer this: on llama.cpp you just send a assistant role message with your prefill as the content, if in a message chain (user, assistant, user, assistant) ends with an assistant message, it considers it a prefill and will continue its answer from there on the REST API, no need to use extra parameters / options, just send the damn message.
In fact if you consider this behavior undesirable you need to launch llama-server with --no-prefill-assistant

>>108022617
It's not about the costs.
MoE is the way. Everybody understands that now.
Massively spare (5% active experts or less) is the way- people are understanding this.
Quantization aware training at INT4 is the best- people are coming to this understanding slowly. It's used to be FP16 (llama 1), then BF16(llama 3), then FP8(deepseek), then FP4(oss-120b), now INT4(Kimi k2.5).
A 1 trillion weights model at just 650 GB and only 35B active weights per token that's just 16GB of numbers crunched per token. If you have 4TB/s bandwidth (H100/200) you get solid ~200 tokens/s and NO loss of quality. B200 is 8TB/s so that will be ~400 tokens/s (not sure on B200).

They don't care, they're the ollama of quants. They're the ones who get all the attention and special deals like when they got early access to qwen3 to release quants hour 1 (and then spent 2 weeks post-release trying to actually produce workable quants at all).
It's also very obvious that they don't care enough to do even basic testing before they upload their shit.
>>
>>
>>108023514
Most of their relevance comes from being the first to upload quants so people flock to them and after other ggufs are uploaded, people will still choose unsloth because they have more downloads and that means that they must have the best quants. It doesn't take a genius to realize that them constantly rushing uploads is going to make their quants subpar.
I honestly don't even know what they do for their UD quants when every model has different layers that are more or less sensitive to quantization than others and the only way to figure it out is testing.

How did we get to the point where everyone is simply okay with having to spend absurd amounts of money to run AI models?
I keep thinking there will be pushback and that eventually some breakthroughs will be made to optimize and reduce computational load but it never happens.
Kimi k2.5 should be able to run on 4gb of vram no problem. If you say it can't you're possessed by demons and you need to find God.
