Model Overview Description: DiffusionGemma 26B A4B IT is an open-weights multimodal generative model developed by Google DeepMind that processes text, image, and video inputs to produce text output via discrete diffusion. Built on the Gemma 4 26B A4B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 25.2B total parameters and 3.8B active parameters, the model employs an encoder-decoder design with bidirectional attention that generates tokens in parallel 256-token blocks, enabling high-speed gene...

Qwen3.6-MTP-27B on Tesla V100 @ 55 TPS (llama.cpp) — Any way to push this higher without quality loss?

Hey everyone, I'm running Qwen3.6-MTP-27B-MTP (Q4_K_M) with llama.cpp server on a Tesla V100 , and I'm currently getting around 55 tokens/sec . I'm trying to find out whether there are any configuration changes that could increase throughput further without reducing output quality . 55 TPS seems lower than I expected for MTP on a V100, but I may be missing something obvious. Current command: llama-server \ -m ../NewModels/Qwen3.6-MTP-27B-Q4_K_M.gguf \ --port 9932 \ --host 0.0...

How useful is qwopus compared to qwen3.6 27b

I see a lot of conflict comments on this sub and elsewhere on how useful is qwopus compared to for example unsloth quants of qwen3.6 27b. Some say it’s worse some say it’s much better. I tried it and I notice no differences in some of my tests. But maybe because my tests aren’t complex enough. I am only talking about coding. For those who heavily use agentic coding what did you find?

FlashMemory-DeepSeek-V4: Lightning Index Ultra-Long Context via Lookahead Sparse Attention

Conventional LLMs keep the full KV cache loaded during decoding, causing a severe GPU memory bottleneck for ultra-long context serving. In this report, we propose Lookahead Sparse Attention (LSA), a novel inference paradigm powered by a Neural Memory Indexer built upon the DeepSeek-V4 architecture. Rather than passively attending to all historical tokens, LSA proactively predicts future context demands and preserves only the query-critical KV chunks in the GPU memory. Crucially, we instantiate t...

DeepMind Just Dropped "DiffusionGemma" — Text Generation via Image-Style Diffusion Model

Another open weight model got dropped today, this one's from DeepMind, seems like a good day for the OSS geeks. Released under Apache 2.0 Instead of generating text sequentially token-by-token like almost every autoregressive model on the market, it uses a text diffusion head. - Throws a 256-token "canvas" of random placeholder noise onto the screen. - Uses Uniform State Diffusion to iteratively refine and denoise the entire block of text all at once. - Because every token ca...

gemma4 QATs vs higher-bit regular quantizations?

I have enough RAM+VRAM to use gemma4 26b a4b up to q6_k quantizations w/ decent performance. Does anyone have any comparisons of the Q4_0 QATs (at 4-bits/wt) vs non-QATs at >4 bits/wt? (ex: q6_K)? KLD vs the originals wouldn't be appropriate IIUC.

What's up on CPU inference these days?

What are the best models, quants and llama.cpp versions/forks for CPU inference these days? I have AVX2 but no AVX512 - Intel core ultra 7 165H; 64G RAM This seems to ask for massive MoE (a lot of RAM, not a lot of bandwidth/compute). So Qwen3.6 35B A3B Q4_K_M with standard llama.cpp produces about 10 tps - usable in non-thinking mode, not usable in thinking mode. Is this the best I can get or are there other options?

How long do you think it will take for the stock market to notice that Apple and Microsoft announced at the same time that they're all-in for local AI?

Microsoft's Surface with the crappy old Nvidia chip won't keep up with anything from Apple, but Microsoft wouldn't be on board if Nvidia didn't have a roadmap for more and better laptop chips. And Apple can crash the market on a whim by just announcing a line of products that are local-first. Every WWDC video being about local AI (not literally, there are just a lot) and the Github repo full of specs and benchmarks for every company's local AI should have already done it, but finance people ar...

Anyone gotten Gemma 4 12B (unified audio) to actually attend to speech with a large system prompt?

I'm trying to use Gemma 4 12B — the new encoder-free unified model (audio/vision/text in one) — for a one-pass audio → response voice assistant: feed the recorded WAV + system prompt and get the reply back as text directly, collapsing the separate ASR + LLM steps into a single model (TTS still happens afterward). Works great with a minimal prompt — the model clearly hears and responds to the audio. But once the text prompt gets large/dense (mine is ~21k tokens: detailed instructions + ...

Can you really replace paid models with a local model?

Long time lurker, and I say this as someone who genuinely loves this community and runs many local models myself. I’ve been using LLMs since the early GPT and LLaMA days. Obviously, models have come a unbelievably long way. Local/open models today are dramatically better than what we had a even a few months ago. But I also think the community has developed a strange habit of wildly overstating how close these models are to frontier closed models. We now have very large open models from Deep...

Without open source LLMs, US AI companies could have already monopoled the technology

For such technology with clear importance and impact on all of us, I believe that making it open source is an ethical duty, otherwise, especially with the 1-sided politics of the US we experience today, they could have already monopolized the technology by now, maybe make it exclusively available to US companies only, and starve the entire world including Europe. You could disagree with China on many topics, but the fact they released a couple of powerful open source LLMs is a direct contribut...
