Hey @AnthropicAI what is going on with Opus 5.5? The Haiku model is more effective than it currently? Am I missing something? Or am I just using it wrong?

CVE-2026-111943 isn't an issue if you don't encrypt your traffic

XPU support for TensorFold is coming soon! Finishing up testing, Qwen 3.8 27b has been the model I'm working with first. Thanks @MiaAI_lab for the inspiration and @ashxhart for providing the engine!

Seems like if it's made out of silicon... the FOMO is real right now.

GLM 5.3 flash on dual sparks is on point! Thank you @MiaAI_lab !!!

I was supposed to be at BlizzCon this year. Had tickets, but I ended up getting sick. I'm watching it online, and I'm hearing the people streaming over the last day; their voices are getting weak, and a mild cough is starting to set in. Kind of glad I didn't go...

Ok I think I found my preferred stack locally: Qwen 3.8 Flash on the RTX Pro 6000 DSv4F on 2x DGX Sparks GLM 5.3 Flash on a single Spark for deep thinking

Submitted my first of seven upstream bug fixes/optimizations to improve inference of LLMs on the @intel Arc B70 Pro. I seem to be hitting some prefill limits that are lower than I think anyone would like. But I was able to consistently get over 100 tps decode with Qwen 3.8 27B

64 users. 2 DGX Sparks. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next. This is what happens when you stop testing local AI with a single prompt and actually stress the hardware. The setup: → 2× DGX Spark → Qwen3.8-Flash-Next NVFP4 → 64 concurrent users → Independent prompts → Independent KV caches → 32,768 output tokens Total generation time: 78.82 seconds That’s an aggregate throughput of: 415.7 tok/s And the more interesting part wasn’t just the raw throughput. The usable-context test passed 64K tokens per user at C16, with zero cross-user leakage. Each user maintained an independent prompt and KV cache while the system handled the concurrency load. That’s a serious local inference stress test. But there’s an important distinction: This is testing the limits of the hardware and serving stack, not presenting a production deployment recipe. Still, it’s a pretty ridiculous demonstration of where local AI infrastructure is heading. Two compact AI systems handling dozens of independent sessions while pushing hundreds of tokens per second in aggregate. The “local AI is only useful for one person at a time” argument is getting harder to make. 2 DGX Sparks. 64 users. 415.7 tok/s aggregate. And they’re still testing where the ceiling actually is.

Having a strange moment, I needed to find room for a new book on my shelves. Most of the shelf has books I've picked up over my 15-year career. I opened a few of them and was shocked; these tombs of arcane mystic things are things I now know by heart. Time to pass them along.

What's cooking on the B70? Pull Requests and recipes coming soon!

In the last 24 hours, I've iterated more than I would have in a week using glm 5.2 on kernel development. What an amazing time to be an engineer! Thanks @CrusoeAI for providing open models and stupidly reasonable prices!

That feeling when you've got a kernel running but it's not performing how you want it to. So you choose to tell Qwen 3.8, "You are Donald Knuth. If you were working to optimize this kernel against the hardware using strictly math and algorithms, how would you do it?" And it works

I also want to put this out here: if I didn't have my own local AI inference hardware, I wouldn't be able to tackle a project like this. Being able to ask a Qwen 3.8 27b or a DeepSeek V4 flash model to channel their inner Donald Knuth is the only way it's possible.
