I built a tool to turn your Claude Code sessions into fine-tuning data for local models

If you use Claude Code, every session is already sitting on disk as a .jsonl file under ~/.claude/projects/ . It has real coding conversations: multi-turn edits, tool calls, reasoning traces. That's training data you already generated for free. The problem is the format is not what any fine-tuning framework expects. So I built claude_converter to bridge that gap. What it does: Converts Claude Code .jsonl sessions into the messages format that apply_chat_template() consumes d...

Ornith 35B is great so far

Tried creating a quick 3d game with it, after 3 prompts, it got me this(checkvideo). If I compare this with qwen3.5-35b-a3b, it was not able to successfully generate this and was failing even after multiple prompts.

Model Registry: Torrents for open models using Hugging Face as a fallback web seed.

Hi, I created a repo/site for publishing/sharing .torrent files for popular open models, added web seed support and a few scripts to automate it. Repo: https://github.com/marella/modelregistry Site: https://modelregistry.io Web seed will be used as a fallback to download files from Hugging Face if no peers are available. To make this work ( https://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html ), I had to build a small backend service that redirects the requests from BitTorrent clients to the...

Qwen3.6 27B local vs Opus 4.8, voxel engine in raw C with zero frameworks

Sunday experiment. Same prompt to both. Build a voxel world in plain C. No engine, no game library, no framework, just the compiler. The model does its own chunk meshing, render loop and memory management by hand. Left is Claude Code on Opus 4.8. Right is Qwen3.6 27B local on vLLM, the new NVFP4 quant, 256k context. Runs around 130 TPS on an RTX 6000 Blackwell 96GB through my own coding agent . Opus clearly understands voxel physics. Terrain holds, chunks line up, collision works. The 27B c...

Even Google still believes in small models for coding.

I've been meaning to post about this. The community has been pretty vocal in criticizing "vibe-coded" projects. I used to think the backlash was the real problem, but I've started getting annoyed by a lot of these posts myself β€” many are just tiny, hyper-specific tools with minimal impact. Still, I think the community and mods could create better spaces for sharing actual ideas and innovations so people can build on each other's work. A monthly mega-thread or "top picks" ro...

Anybody used DwarfStar with DeepSeek V4 Flash on 1x DGX Spark yet? What are your thoughts?

Hey fellow localites, Has anybody used DwarfStar with DeepSeek V4 Flash on 1x DGX Spark yet? What are your thoughts? Based on what I read, with its MoE approach, and its unified memory first then bleed into SSD approach, you can apparently load DS4 Flash and it runs well, with 80B active and full max context. https://github.com/antirez/ds4 There is a video on it here: https://youtu.be/9gHcmhUDJfw Has anybody done this yet? How is the agentic coding quality? Thanks s...

Do cloud chatbot's system prompts make them stupider?

When I am talking with Chat GPT or Claude about abstract concepts, I am often surprised by how they seem kind of dumb... like they aren't benefitting from their extra parameters over top open models like Kimi or GLM. In fact they often seem stupider than these open models that I run locally in the way they leap to conclusions and try to oversimplify concepts and produce more "not x but y" like slopisms My guess about why this is: system prompts are lobotomizing the model by trying to...

Has anyone else found vLLM outputs noticeably worse than llama.cpp for the same model?

I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this. I've tested the same model on llama.cpp and vLLM with similar settings and quantizations. The performance and concurrency in vLLM are much noticeably better, but sometimes the model feels less reliable. Some things I've noticed: * More mistakes with formatting and tool calls * Forgetting context suddenly * Sometimes acting like messages didn't exist * Lower quality code even with similar parameters I'm not trying to start a compari...

Any chance I could cluster my DGX Spark (128GB unified memory) and my AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 (128GM unified memory) together to run 1 model?

Hey all, So I have a Nvidia DGX Spark and an AMD Strix 395, both have 128GB of unified memory. The Spark has 200Gbit network and the AMD Strix has 5Gbit ethernet (but it has a pcie gen 4x4 slot). Is there any chance I can cluster the 2 together to run a larger model that can fit in the ~256GB (minus OS) unified memory? I've seen that Deepseek v4 Flash can fit on 2x DGX Spark, but maybe I can use my Strix system instead? Any ideas on if this would be possible? If so, how would you go abou...

Got GLM-5.2 + MTP speculative decode running on 4Γ— DGX Spark (GB10) β€” and the build piece the public recipe is missing

TL;DR: the recipe's image-build mods aren't actually public – I reconstructed them from the public kernels (with Claude) – and you have to build vLLM at the author's exact pinned ref or the real AWQ weights crash on load. Running now at ~9.4 tok/s on my own 4Γ— GB10. Saw a link on X to CosmicRaisins' GLM-5.2 stack for 4Γ— GB10: vLLM TP=4, MTP speculative decode, ported sparse-MLA Triton kernels (the Hopper-only _flashmla_C path doesn't exist on sm_121), and a data-free 15% expert prune so the AW...

The prompt is simple `Do a code review of this branch.`. The non MTP produces more findings, with more detailed descriptions, with fix suggestion snippets, everything is better.
