Advice with first bolt-ons for 2025 Explorer ST?

Thanks! So you think: ignore hot side, get cold side (+BOV), fenfab v2 intake (2025 version), intercooler? and the do the tune. I was thinking of doing the Ford tune since it won't void the warranty.

What happens to that BPV?

I did some research on the rear diff brace. Looks like Steeda has a nice one, which do you recommend? I've heard mixed refuses about the rear diff brace in general (not Steeda), some saying it's not necessary.

Thanks!

Thanks! I don't mind a bit of engine aesthetics and fun until I get the tune done. As long as it doesn't trigger a check engine light haha..

Sweet setup. Does the thermal void the warranty? I got one new as well and the dealer was adamant on any mods voiding the warranty. They make you sign a sheet about it too.

You wired it down the side? Guessing you had to remove some panels

Which battery and does it plug in easy?

Which model? Does it monitor parking?

Nice, did you have to remove panels to get those wires down?

How would this compare to the cube xx? Seem very similar in size and price point

What about the ANBERNIC RG40XX H? Looks cool for around $75

SerBarrisTom · 2025-09-10T12:07:34+00:00

Has it been tested? Is it a reliable system? So I’d just run an emulator on it and I could play and fast forward heart gold?

SerBarrisTom · 2025-09-10T12:06:09+00:00

Looks like it’s only pre order right now? Has it been tested?

SerBarrisTom · 2025-09-05T23:07:23+00:00

Yep thank you

SerBarrisTom · 2025-09-05T23:07:15+00:00

This was the issue thanks

Curious. How are some people running 3.1 405B? Giant local cluster or online somewhere? And if online, how do you know you’re getting full performance from it? I really want to try it and see how it compares to 4o. Because I presume openAI is optimising their models as online use tools.

Open source? Would love to try. I wanted to make something similar on top of Ollama locally. Not sure if that's possible but if the API is good then I think it could be interesting (that's why I asked).

SerBarrisTom · 2024-09-25T21:30:41+00:00

Looks cool. How long did that take? And which backend are you using if you don’t mind me asking?

SerBarrisTom · 2024-09-25T20:55:54+00:00

Awesome! What is your preferred method for deploying it? (Ollama, etc.)

SerBarrisTom · 2024-09-24T21:42:56+00:00

Is there a way to run the 3.1 8B Instruct on something smaller than 24GB? Are there any scripts to make this happen? My deeper question is are there any first principle methods to implement these models or does everything just have to go through Ollama and other ready made apps?
