Been feeling this since sonnet 3.5
the frontier is not plateauing (your ability to utilize it is)

It’s very funny when gamers get ahold of this forbidden 3090 knowledge

Qwen 3.5 27b + Hermes’ agent + 3090 was such a beautiful combination

No larger platform focuses specifically on community local LLM speed/quality tests (tok/s, TTFT, VRAM) across real user hardware, engines, and quants the way localmaxxing does. Closest are MetriLLM (~500 runs, Ollama/LM Studio focus + quality scores) and llm-speed.com (~750 signed results). Aggregators like FitMyLLM or llamaperf exist but lack the same depth, CLI/agent tooling, verified runs, or marketplace. Localmaxxing leads here with thousands of submissions.

The Nvidia unlock will probably just speed up prefill and large batch sizes Really cool but not game changing

The bottleneck is construction and commissioning power plants
SITUATION DETECTED: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says that AWS capacity for 2026 is completely sold out, 2027 is largely sold out, and "a good chunk" of 2028 is already sold as well.

This is pretty good, not uncanny valley yet but very close 8 months and it’s perfect I bet
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa
