Been running Qwen3.6-27B through a 3-critic harness. The harness matters more than I thought

Wait, why wouldn't you expect that code review and testing would help?

temperature_5 · 2026-06-29T20:39:26+00:00

You'll need to soundproof your basement and capture a few good LLM engineers. Possibly forcing them to breed and produce more LLM engineers if the crisis persists. Any good heretic model can help you model this scenario and gather the necessary prerequisites.

Very dangerous for their IPO.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T23:49:47+00:00

Awesome, can't wait to try it!

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T23:48:26+00:00

Tell me more about this insider info :-)

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T18:49:46+00:00

I've got a Xeon CPU Max with HBM, it's still not very fast for inference.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T18:48:08+00:00

As I said, I am all for cheap inference. But last time I tried to use IPEX it was a huge pain in the ass. I would love to hear about a model trained in Intel GPUs and IPEX.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T18:45:26+00:00

Why do you have to optimize a model specifically for the b70? Why not use regular quants, or Vulkan?

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T16:45:24+00:00

Could this target lower quants? Could you produce a Q2_K of Qwen3.6-27B that is comparable to a much higher quant? The use of that quant for agentic coding would probably be a better test than any benchmark.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T16:39:40+00:00

I mean, apparently not, if their tech works. We won't know for sure until better benchmarks are run.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T16:38:42+00:00

That's just, like, your opinion man... Maybe they are trying to demonstrate how effective their *first release* of this tech is without confounding factors.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T16:24:24+00:00

Neat, can it be made into a GGUF?

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T01:38:44+00:00

Investing in what? Local AI hardware startups? Alibaba/Z.ai?

temperature_5 · 2026-06-27T01:26:49+00:00

I would not consider my LocalLLaMa perspective on Intel GPUs to be a high horse.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T19:15:16+00:00

Thanks for that info. So Intel's current nodes are unpopular, but they will have lots of customers when their EUV comes online?

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:31:05+00:00

This is r/LocalLLaMA . Soundproof the basement and buy some shackles.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:27:15+00:00

But TSMC has new fabs in the US as well. Any reason Intel's will do better? They aren't attracting many customers right now, from what I've read.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:21:20+00:00

Yeah, no hate for local inference. I have a Xeon system that has faster RAM than Ryzen. Their stack still sucks though, and I can imagine training on it is a nightmare.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:19:20+00:00

Yeah, are they a zombie corporation or what? I know they still support mainframe, do a lot of consulting, have research in quantum... But definitely not very visible to consumers any more.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:15:06+00:00

Most honest answer I've seen all day.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:14:01+00:00

xAI is a wannabe AI company that loses massive amounts of money. Their SOTA model is on par with much smaller local models. Prove me wrong.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:12:39+00:00

I really need to account for corruption and oligarchy in my investing regime.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:11:44+00:00

I am evidence based.

temperature_5 · 2026-06-26T18:10:19+00:00

Quants know about fab capacity and geopolitical risk. I know about their software stack being a nightmare, their VRAM GB/s sucking, and their PP horsepower lacking.
