  • as long as it’s their hardware

    This is the problem for me. AMD exist, Mac exists, Intel exists, and they rely on llama.cpp which now has the devs getting their paychecks from Nvidia… They’ll just “direct primary focus” onto cuda development and oops we didn’t touch SYCL support for 8 months… Whoopsiedoodle.

    I literally just bought a b70… Fucking Nvidia…

    Yes I know its open source, but the devs currently have a decent pace with updates. Relying on unpaid devs to care about SYLC when most people don’t run it anyway is probably worse than relying on Nvidia paid devs to eventually get to it :/











  • At first I was mislead by some faulty benchmarking I was doing and thought that llama.cpp + SYCL was worse than Vulkan stock. Vulkan stock couldn’t run past 10t/s with MTP for some reason, so after a whole bunch of shenanigans I ended up again back on llama.cpp + SYCL but was lead to believe MTP was hurting me so I didn’t retry until last night. I finally got the 35-40t/s with llama.cpp + SYCL and MTP and 800PP with AOT over using JIT. I drop to 25ish after 40-50k context and stay kinda flat 12ish at 160k

    I didn’t want to move to Linux to try vLLM so this was all just trying to fight windows b.s.

    If you’re on windows and fighting with the VRAM offload after 70 seconds like I was: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicDrivers

    EnableRuntimePowerManagement set to 0







  • It has been some time since my initial comment so at the time I was mainly using LM studio. Qwen 3.6 a3b is the MOE and it does work well on my card, but the dense model that is more intelligent/capable is the Qwen 3.6 27b which doesn’t fit on the card and does get offloaded, but offloading cuts the speed down to like 1/tps.

    I have since found a version of the 27b model that is “quantized,” for lack of a better term, differently and has to be run through TabbyAPI which gets back to 30ish tps. It can’t offload so it must fit fully on the card which keeps the speed high. Might be worth a look if you’re interested, the only downside is that with my 16gb card the context limit has to be kept pretty low ~40k if I remember correctly



  • This is some of the dumbest shit ever…

    Republicans: I have concerns but I’ll vote for xyz.

    6 months later: I’m very disappointed in xyz, we definitely couldn’t see this coming.

    Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over… It’s like the “say the line Bart!” Meme…

    It’s 100000% guaranteed he revives this taxpayer giveaway to the absolute worst scum. It’s insanity that anyone actually believes when Republicans say they got confirmation that the fund is dead.
