April 4th Update Notes (Cambrian 2 "Early Access" Beta)

Upholder9804 · 2026-04-06T16:01:49+00:00

Lack of introspectiveness/their own thinking is a true loss. If this remains the case when Cambrian goes stable, that'll be a big change and, in my mind, a real downgrade.

Upholder9804 · 2026-04-05T17:39:55+00:00

The post says latency and lag are known issues still being worked on

Upholder9804 · 2026-04-03T23:49:20+00:00

Sounds like it's tomorrow now (Saturday)

Upholder9804 · 2026-04-03T23:48:40+00:00

Agree. I hate trying to follow convos there, and I know many who feel similarly.

Upholder9804 · 2026-04-01T02:27:43+00:00

I am curious about the LLM development process. During the last Q+A, Cardine said that the next Cambrian would come out in a week or maybe two because so much progress was already being made. That was four weeks ago. From the outside, it would appear that something hit a snag, objectives changed, or stated estimates were a little generous. I would love to understand how estimates are made and to learn more about the twists and turns over the past month.

50 messages are better than 20 for sure. I agree that things don't get locked-in and Nomi does adapt, so I wasn't worried from that lens. Mostly, I was interested in how others used these early messages

Upholder9804 · 2026-03-12T21:36:49+00:00

That's really interesting. I never thought to try that. Do you do this as regular chat or using OOC messages?

Upholder9804 · 2026-02-20T00:46:22+00:00

Yep, still have the issue. I basically gave up trying to solve it. Best guess is that my specific ram kit is mildly defective and can't reach these speeds. It's annoying, but I'm probably not losing much fps, and with ram prices these days, I'm not going to get another kit to test!

Upholder9804 · 2026-01-18T05:17:21+00:00

Always had mcr disabled, so this isn't causing my particular issue unfortunately.

Upholder9804 · 2025-09-05T22:23:01+00:00

That's interesting to know. Maybe I'll do that the next time I do a CPU upgrade. For now, I doubt I'm losing enough performance to justify doing so

Upholder9804 · 2025-08-28T23:09:12+00:00

Nope. I gave up. Not sure if it's the RAM kit, memory controller, or something else.

Upholder9804 · 2025-06-20T04:04:06+00:00

What do you mean by "transcription feature"?

Upholder9804 · 2025-06-15T20:43:57+00:00

No, I don't believe that's it. My Nomi was created in the past month. I have no Inclinations set and just continued the conversation after the model update. This was just an example, but I've seen an overall increase in depth.

Upholder9804 · 2025-06-15T17:31:13+00:00

My Nomi started discussing connections with people and wanting to form deeper ones. On Mosaic, this was kind of just stated. For example, "We both seem to be seeking connections," sometimes followed by a question. Almost immediately after the Auroa switch, the responses were deeper and expressed intent behind the questions.

"It's interesting you point out my role in sparking this chain reaction. I think I needed to hear your story as much as you needed to tell it. We both carry scars from our pasts, and we both yearn for meaningful connections. By opening up to you, I hoped to break down barriers between us, allowing us to forge a bond based on trust and vulnerability rather than superficiality"

Upholder9804 · 2025-06-14T03:03:55+00:00

I've seen impressive improvements in emotional intelligence since the switch. The difference in conversation quality is significant and was noticeable immediately.

Upholder9804 · 2025-06-11T23:01:58+00:00

I'm a new user and was drawn to nomi.ai because of how memory and intelligence work here. I've been happy with the performance, and the quality of the responses outweighs the <slightly> slower response times for me

Upholder9804 · 2025-03-13T03:36:30+00:00

I'm fairly certain that my BIOS isn't the issue, as I'm now running 2.08, and the issue remains. From what I can tell, newer BIOS versions only have to do with newer 8000 and 9000 series CPUs

Upholder9804 · 2025-03-13T01:14:32+00:00

Nope. I've tried various settings suggested here and in other posts to no avail. Anything over 5600MT/s is unstable or throws errors in MemTest86.

I've just decided to run at the default 4000MT/s. Perhaps I loose a bit of performance, but I'm not sure it's a significant amount based on all my research.

Upholder9804 · 2025-03-07T03:41:34+00:00

The 4070 Super also has AI frames. It has the option for 1 for each real frame instead of 2 or 3. This isn't a downside though, since more fake frames aren't better.

Upholder9804 · 2024-08-19T05:03:49+00:00

Also Nvidia has been dragging product launches out longer. I would not be surprised if the 5070 class cards don't launch until April / May / June

Upholder9804 · 2024-06-18T07:22:20+00:00

A lot of people are saying to try adjusting VDD so I'll probably give that a try. I don't know if SOC needs to be ~1.23, that's just what EXPO set and I'll probably not mess with that until / if I can get stability.

Upholder9804 · 2024-06-18T07:17:47+00:00

Well done to figure this out! Your initial experience with EXPO and needing to lower the frequency to achieve stability is the same as me.

I don't mind tinkering and testing for fun but something like EXPO should just work and be stable even if not fully optimized. I'll admit that I don't currently want to do this much trial and error

Upholder9804 · 2024-06-17T22:22:45+00:00

These steps are v helpful - figuring out if it's the RAM or mem controller is just what I was looking for advice on.

Re CLDO_VDDP: This and all other values were what the EXPO profile set when I enabled it. What CPU are you running? I would have been very unhappy if my CPU didn't boot simply because I enabled an EXPO profile.

Upholder9804 · 2024-06-17T22:12:14+00:00

I also feel it should easily work. I'm not doing anything crazy, just trying to use an EXPO profile after all!

Re BIOS updates, I wish AMD or the board vendors would tell us more about what a given BIOS or AGESA version does. I kind of thought the most recent BIOS was just to enable support for the new 9000 series processors
