My DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 quant is NOW LIVE for TP=2 DGX Sparks. Same 353 questions for all three packs: new / Mia 2.9 / my old q28-v2 MMLU-Pro STEM: 93 / 91 / 90 (of 100) LiveCodeBench: 14 / 11 / 11 (of 17) MBPP+: 50 / 49 / 50 (of 60) HumanEval+: 34 / 34 / 33 (of 40) SciCode: 6 / 6 / 5 (of 10) MATH-500: 36 / 36 / 36 (of 40) MGSM: 40 / 40 / 40 BFCL tool calls: 39 / 39 / 39 (of 40) Multi-step tool chains: 6/6, 6/6, 4/6 These are small samples, so I read it as "at least as good, in a smaller pack". It's not a blowout. The gaps I care about are LiveCodeBench and the tool chains, which my old quant kept dropping. Calibrated it for coding, science and agent work. Weights/Recipe are in the comments. Recipe has been updated with my current config but is mostly unchanged. @MiaAI_lab I still don't know how you get them so good. I can't wait to use your Engine Aware Quant (EAQ) system when it's ready. 2.8 BPW, EXL3, 203.8 GB, running on two DGX Sparks with @ashxhart TensorFold. - 1M context - image input - 2.1M-token cache total with NVMe offload. As usual, if you have any issues, please let me know or submit a PR. What will you throw at it first?

LocalRouter AI assistant. One DGX Spark. Full duplex. This actually feels like Jarvis in a box! Built on @ashxhart TensorFold ๐Ÿง  Qwen 27B ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Drama 3 with streaming (Thanks @plotarmordev ) ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Qwen Image Turbo 2.1 ๐ŸŽฌ MiniMax H3 video ๐Ÿ‘‚ Whisper STT ~0.5s after I stop talking, it starts with its first word. Interrupt it anytime. Set the delay as you please for responses. Normal models stay loaded and can be swapped as needed. Want a video model up? Then Whisper and Drama will make space. Once the video is generated, start voice back up when the video is finished. The goal is actually fully modular, so consider this a super early version of what it could be. MCP by default, but also ships with a simple UI you can extend as you please. Thin by design, so everyone can make it their own. What features do people want next? What about TP=2 or Mac Studio versions?

Reminder that everyone has outages at the best of times. @Railway is a good product, and what has happened is unfortunate. Maybe @theo can build a better way to handle secrets/rotations without needing a full deployment.
Spent multiple hours now evaluating Railway alternatives to move my shit to. Conclusion is that Railway's product is uniquely good and nothing comes close to a drop in replacement ๐Ÿ™ƒ Minimum cost to replicate my setup today is 3x higher than I am paying them currently

Railway seems to be coming back online slowly. This is a reminder that all systems can and will fail, and to build in redundancies in the event of something like this. I don't personally think swapping to something like Vercel would matter here. They are just as likely to be hit by these kinds of attacks.

The beginning of the end. WTF is happening, everyone is getting hacked or had emergency security issues. - Node - PHP x2 - OpenCode - Railway - Gitlab - Lite LLM Itโ€™s going to get much worse I think. Please be careful out there.

Clearly, @ThePrimeagen doesn't know about my 2 DGX Spark recipes for DeepSeek Flash on TensorFold.
That's cool and all but pretending that you are running V4.1 flash locally... Bro I have an INCREDIBLE setup and this is WAY out of my reach locally

I wonder if PornHub runs on PHP. Maybe some good will come out of bringing down over half the internet.
โ€ผ๏ธ PHP UPDATE: The Dutch parliament, the Dutch national cyber agency and Finland's central government have pulled websites offline ahead of the PHP patch. Finland's state IT centre Valtori is shutting down public-facing central government web services. The National Land Survey of Finland is already down. In the Netherlands, the Tweede Kamer, the NCSC and the Dutch Data Protection Authority are offline. So are tech site Tweakers and NotuBiz, which runs council information for 100+ local governments. The University of Vienna switched off its websites, webmail and Moodle. The University of Freiburg and Finland's Haaga-Helia have taken services down too. Fur Affinity, Pinboard, explain xkcd and every wiki on Miraheze are dark as well. Valtori says its shutdown is a precaution, not the result of an attack or breach. PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, it initially stood for Personal Home Page PHP's fix is due at 14:00 UTC today.

If AI solved software engineering, why are most people still writing JavaScript and PHP?

Local ai is already doing about 30% of my work. Once we have local models that perform on the same level as Opus 5.5 then all my work will be using local ai. The only reasons I would consider paying for subs after that point comes down to 2 reasons. 1. Faster speed. If I can get 200-300 tokens per second at current regular prices then itโ€™s worth it as itโ€™s a multiplayer on output. 2. Complex math/science experiments. As ai solves more math and science problems I might use to experiment on new lossless compression or scaling improvements. The future of ai improvements are going to be on speed and solving problems humans canโ€™t. Opus 5.5 is already good enough for every task 90% of humans need done.

Welp. Hundreds of km away from my homelab and now one of my machines doesnโ€™t want to boot. Guess that means Il be working on 1 Spark solutions until I get home. ;)

Very good results for 1 DGX Spark! Incredibly smart and donโ€™t know how @ViC305 did it. This is the new level to set for 1 Spark. It would be nice to see tool call improvements as that certainly will effect autonomous work if it gets stuck in a tool call loop often. Another model I will have to try!

With the support of @AWERXAI, I've been working tirelessly to push that vision forward. And now we're seeing a 1.62 bpw expert quant outperform higher-bitrate alternatives on actual tasks, not just token-level fidelity measurements. This doesn't establish mathematical losslessness or superiority on every possible workload. These are matched subsets of nine benchmark suites, not full public leaderboard scores.

Crazy that I can sit on a beach in the Phuket islands while my AI computers in my home office can run all my work. @bot does all my email/calendar and triage for any product outages or help tickets. DGX Sparks are now self improving the recipe I released last night with my new quant. My Mac Studio is working on some Mac tensorfold stuff. My Linux homelab is running all my usual work. I just use my own fork of T3 for agents and Grokbot app and I have merged over 100 prโ€™s in the last 36 hours across 5 projects.

Everyone is doing quants now and thatโ€™s a good thing. I want everyone to push different boundaries so we can make the whole industry better. I ran my quant all night and it found 3 potential opportunities to improve itself so now Claude is verifying what it found. I push these models because I actively use them for real engineering work. A large amount of @lockpickapp was built with DeepSeek because Claude always flagged as a security risk even though itโ€™s a defensive product. I even had to write some code myself and use obliterated models as even GLM & DeepSeek refused some of the really risky stuff.

Using platforms like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and any platform in a can solution is just like when our parents wasted money on TimeShare. Sure, they look & sound like a solid idea, but the whole design is just to make money and not actually solve anyone's direct problems. You will spend all your money on a solution that doesn't work, and it will be impossible to leave without rebuilding most of the systems. Just like TimeShare, if you just use the right solution when you actually need it, you will likely spend less money, be better located and move through everything much quicker. I predict these "builder" platforms will be gone in 6-12 months. Claude will probably ship a templates store and "Claude hosting" directly before long.

Early numbers on my NEW DeekSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 quant. - EXL3 & TP=2 - 2.80BPW - 203GB - 2.4M cache (1M per chat, NVMe offload once full) Compared against the full 1017 model - Code 95.17% - Science 94.93% - Tool Call 87.64% Performance - Prompt Processing 2631 (unchanged) - Chat is mixed. 5% faster for short responses and 5% slower for longer ones. My goal was to make it smarter where it matters. The tool call in the previous version was already good enough, so I wanted to match that while focusing as much as possible on engineering knowledge. On average, it will be faster for things like chained tool calls and agentic workflows but slightly slower for longer thinking or response sessions. It's running full benchmarks now and will upload after that.
