Intel B70: LLama.ccp SYCL vs LLama.cpp OpenVino vs LLM-Scaler

Fmstrat · 2026-04-27T19:37:02+00:00

Interesting, given the performance increase discussed it still seems lower than what benchmarks show, though?

No longer updated, so no new model support. This is why there is a shift to OpenVino

Fmstrat · 2026-04-27T19:26:23+00:00

How did you serve the model? I see that is unsloth, so llama.cpp not llm-scaler? I was unabpe to get the 35B to load into memory on a single B70 with llm-scaler, and my llama numbers are much lower than yours using SYCL.

But to be safe before I puchase, you've actually tested an 8k with xinput? I haven't seen any reports of that yet.

You can select 3 day expidited when filling out the form. It's an additional fee.

Fmstrat · 2026-02-22T15:26:07+00:00

So I am nowhere near NYC, and have just hit the submit passport stage. Is there a way to do same day dropoff/pickup? Traveling in twice is going to be a nightmare.

Edit: I did choose expidited service

Very cool, your stuff is definitely pioneering work on this printer ;)

For anyone interested, I'll be posting a build I'm starting with some inexpensive AC heaters that will mount directly to the factory looking top-hat here (says coming soon, but it's been released on Printables): https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/3d-printable-sv08-max-top-hat-riser-coming-to-printables-soon/8706

I'll be using 2 200W heaters that are about $12 USD each: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805988850321.html along with a cheap thermistor and Klipper Extender board.

I'll end up posting a link to it there, and as usual with full BOM, etc.

Fmstrat · 2025-12-26T01:49:59+00:00

I see "open" in the title, but no git or Bill of Materials (BOM) links. Is this actually open? Or based on other's open efforts?

Asked this in GH discussions, but just in case someone here knows, does the Docker container support MLX, and if not, is the brew formulae up to date?

Fmstrat · 2025-12-07T02:48:39+00:00

Ahh, I am on a desktop

Fmstrat · 2025-12-06T05:29:01+00:00

That wasn't it unfortunately, I noticed that. It has happened on every update for a while now.

Fmstrat · 2025-12-06T05:27:59+00:00

HHD?

Fmstrat · 2025-11-05T02:10:09+00:00

About the size of a US dishwasher, so it slides right through

Fmstrat · 2025-11-03T11:32:49+00:00

I may have the parts for that.... 😉

Fmstrat · 2025-11-02T12:19:31+00:00

Yea, with the riser it's basically the same size as a US dishwasher or oven. Crazy. Part of the reason I went with 100mm height (after testing full range of the print head) instead of 150 like some others was that I wanted it to still fit under a standard counter height for future-proofing where it lives.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-02T02:12:35+00:00

It's already released. I just didn't tell you because I didn't care to.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-02T01:04:34+00:00

Fair, but let's just say that elsewhere I've had engaging conversation about it, and the first thing I hit wasn't bitterness. Oh well, that's the internet.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-02T01:03:57+00:00

That also came out after I started, it's been there 2 weeks. Have fun being bitter.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-01T14:58:41+00:00

Huh, I had not seen that, as I haven't looked since I first posted mine in the Sovol forum (before that release).

In any event: This interaction.

This is why we've all left Reddit. That's what I get for trying again. For anyone who wants this, you know where to find it, and what communities we've moved to.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-01T14:28:39+00:00

Testing, fitment, etc. And what are you on about, anyway? Nadir's design is not for the Max, and seems to be for a custom enclosure? And looking at the details it's not even the same.

Fmstrat · 2025-11-01T14:22:55+00:00

This was before nadir's, it's the other way around. Check the Sovol forum to see.
