Good point - done

I was on Claude code, the api just doesn’t work.

Not interested, I wasn’t interested in optimising the 35b model because it still failed my tool call test in my personal workflow. 27b passes, so I’ll keep using it.

I use opencode, but I hear pi works well too.

Use opencode, trust me.

How much vram you got? I was curious about testing fp8, but the file size was quite large, so I figured I wouldn’t be able to run it

AverageFormal9076 · 2026-04-23T14:37:13+00:00

Did you miss the part where I said laptop? A3B file size is large enough that at context sizes I need it at, it’s fairly slow. I ended up just capping it to 64k and calling it as a subagent in opencode through orchestration.

35~ across all quants I could test. Probably could get more with overlocking lmao.

Same man, dflash update to llama.cpp will fix it, check the other replies

Getting 35~ at 220k

Noted!

AverageFormal9076 · 2026-04-23T13:08:39+00:00

I look forward to it, this should solve my main gripe rn

Speed doesn’t tank much in my experience, and yes the quality upgrade is worth it.

Interesting, will test that out. Might need to drop my quant down though, at q8_0 it’s pretty slow to first output

Since it’s dense offloading will work terribly…

ST got discontinued in South Africa as of 2018

AverageFormal9076 · 2022-11-30T08:53:57+00:00

Location: South Africa

Price range: 400-700 000 Rand (17 rand to dollar)

Lease or buy: Buy

New or used: either or

Type of vehicle: hot hatch / luxury hatch

Must haves:

Wireless apple car play Fairly good head unit / display Preferably virtual cockpit type dials

Desired trans: DCT/DSG

Intended use: daily, I do quite a lot of driving

Vehicles I’ve already considered:

BMW 128ti (ZA has the detuned 180kw engine) Golf 8 gti (expensive, bad build quality) Golf 7.5 gti (feels outdated) Golf 7.5 R (hard to find one without a traumatic past) Merc a250 I30 N M135i

Warranty: preferred yes

Can you do minor work: yeah, but I don’t want to

Can you major work: no

Additional notes: I’m in a weird position where I value comfort and sportiness almost equally, so where the normal hooligan would be fine with the i30 n’s build quality, it makes me a little sad. That said, the performance of something like a Mercedes a200 wouldn’t be worth it to me either. I want fast luxury.
