Spent way too much time with V4-Flash-0731 this weekend and wanted to share my vibes as briefly as possible. I sent it through a bit of real-work and some of my personal benchmarks. My quick thoughts are: Quantization hits this thing like a truck - I've tried a bunch of the Q2 and Q3 weights and it behaves like an entirely different model. Reasoning looks/feels different and the results are a full tier down from the official/served V4-Flash-0731. Did not get much time with Q4. Q3 c...

I've been out of these forums for awhile but I figured I would provide a formal update on how this has been going now that it has some operation time under its belt, just to put the information out there and share knowledge if there is any interest. I also wasn't satisfied with the quality of my original post so I will probably remove it and let this one serve as its replacement. I am an IT infrastructure engineer by profession, so my contribution to the conversation is mainly from a hardware/sy...

Ran DeepSeek V4-Flash-0731 — the full official checkpoint, not a re-quant — on commodity used hardware. Sharing because I couldn't find anyone else publishing Ampere results for this engine. Edit / update: a commenter called out that hybrid CPU-GPU posts always publish decode and never prefill. Fair hit — I didn't have it. I do now, it's in a new section below, and it's the number that decides what this box is actually good for. Why bother with a 2018 server The model is 156 GB. That num...

Qwen announced Qwen3.8 a few hours ago, and it looks like we’re getting a new 27B model! Really excited to try this one locally.

Qwen3.8-Max (2.4T) is another massive contribution to the open weight community. On benchmarks, it performs closely to Kimi K3 and DeepSeek V4 flash across all categories and is better at coding and software tasks. Qwen3.8-27B will also be open weight soon too. Weights are being released next week. Pricing: Input: $2.0 / M tokens Output: $6.0 / M tokens Implicit Caching: $0.25 / M tokens

Every time a model drops from a Chinese lab the thread fills with people who already know who made it, and the guess is usually Alibaba. There was a thread here recently asking what separates the open source labs from the frontier labs. It ran to nearly sixty comments and hardly anyone in it separated out the labs on the open source side. They aren't one bloc and haven't been for a while. I work on the Ling models at Ant, so I'm one of the ones getting lumped in. Discount the paragraph about m...

So this is the stuff of absolute insanity. In less than 20 months we've gone from super expensive cloud models only, to being able to run a Q3 quant of DeepSeek on an Intel Windows PC with a very average 24GB of VRAM. No wonder the big boys are panicking (and yes it's slow as porridge). https://ibb.co/zTvqR8YR

Super excited about this release for the new 27B. Who else is with me. Only 17GB VRAM needed 😍😍

Never happen before! Can anyone suggest any cheaper option for authentication otp service enabled in existing project? Firebase started charging very high and deducted money without noticing prior that per authentication 0.07$ per auth... which means 6.67 INR.... which is really disappointed!! Looking for stronger recommandation..!

What is your budget for getting traffics organically? What do you do for getting organic traffic? What is your strategy?

I'm curious if anyone else feels like this. Over the last year I've spent hundreds of hours building an AI product. The funny thing is, the technical side was never the hardest part for me. The hardest part has been understanding what people actually want to build. I keep seeing people say things like "I have 50 ideas" or "I never finish my side projects," and I wonder if that's the real problem not the lack of ideas, but losing excitement somewhere between the idea and...

People who do marketing, how do you do it? What tools do you use? How much does it cost? What is the best way to promote your products?

There’s clearly a rise in AI generated campaign content in politics, as well as influencers. Spencer Pratt’s LA campaign was an example and some of his videos went viral. What are your thoughts on the use of AI generated content in politics and political campaigns? There isn’t a lot of data that it’s affecting fair elections, so more of a question of how we see the use evolving long term.

You have to imagine that the team at Game Freak is bursting with ideas. The studio puts out new mainline Pokémon adventures with a machinelike precision. But every so often it launches a curious experiment, whether it's an action title about a militarized elephant or turning horse races into a card game, showing that it's […]
