I am trying Qwen 3.5 9B and 4B on Qwen 3.8 Flash Next and Agnes 3 Qwen data (Flash finetune). Tried too big but 2B struggled with training data. Will retry after 9B and 4B. Will retest against OG 3.5 9B when done

@SecRubio you started this war to support Netanyahu. Sort the shit out. Problem if your making
Absolute panic in Washington. Marco Rubio whines that Iran is planning to permanently control the Strait of Hormuz and charge a toll. He admits the US is powerless to stop it alone and begs the rest of the world to step in. Iran has completely outsmarted the American empire.

I am really enjoying what the chinese women are doing - they are taking unproven allegations against 1 citizen and taking the piss out this stupidity
Remember when the ministry sent a chinese spy to literally get Harry Potter arrested

Interesting to hear how older Chinese generation seem to think having at least a mistress is a mark of success. The 1 child policy (and resulting abortions for want of a boy) seriously damaged the gender balance. showing off access to scarce biological resource makes one big

I have been saying since the day we left. Going back will be under different terms. We won’t be going as a founding members but a former member who wants to come back Rebates and opt outs gone. Euro and Schengen optional
Here's the most likely scenario if the UK rejoins the EU: Keep the pound: Yes. A fudge will be agreed so that Britain avoids the Euro. Keep the rebate: No. Gone for good. Keep special opt-outs: No. Gone for good. No cherry-picking of EU membership rules.

Why is this surprising??
SNAP! @MichelBarnier also warns, the rebate would not be on offer if UK goes back for round 2 ....

No Qwen day for the common people. Maybe next week @Alibaba_Qwen @QwenDevs

Russia unconditionally surrenders, Putin volunteers to go to prison at the Hague, the russian empire is split into 50 smaller countries. The big beautiful agreement.

I have tried to create SLQ for @liquidai's 3 1.7B but it has failed twice now - it succeeded the 2nd time but eval was buggered and PPL and KL were not as good as expected. Going to do a DWQ now

Groot 65B quant has same issue with MTP as my SLQ quants. Pruning has changed the distribution and MTP is more a miss than a hit. Don't see the point in uploading the 3 bpw quant for it

Local AI folks, how does one train a Dflash2 model on Apple Silicon ?

Local AI / LLM inference is turning into a Go fund me for bigger and badder hardware. This kinda sucks

Replying to @bnjmn_marie
@bnjmn_marie I have a question about SLQ quants and MTP. For models like Qwen 3.8 27B, MTP plays a bit role in making them usable. SLQ process results in modified distribution that tanks MTP. Wondered what your thoughts are. I have tried post training MTP on SLQ but no luck

First Trump then Netanyahu.. WTF
Netanyahu is fucking GONE!!!! Israeli opposition leaders agree to form coalition!

We stopped giving a rats arse. US politics still influences everyone and everything so good to know
Legitimate question: if you don't live in the U.S, why do you give a fuck about the politics here?

I am going to try and force MTP into SLQ quantisation - need to find a way around this. Back to Qwen 3.5 9B for testing and validation. RCO progressing well, made two quants for Qwen 3.5 35B at 3bpw. Downloading Flash Next coder for continued validation - this time with n-gram
