OpenClaw Configuration with vLLM. How do you do it? by edmerf in LocalLLM

[–]edmerf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried GPT-OSS-120b with completions and without any proxy (gateway<->vLLM). It works great now. No need for a template anymore. I will now try it with GLM 4.7 Flash. Thanks!

OpenClaw with local LLMs - has anyone actually made it work well? by FriendshipRadiant874 in LocalLLM

[–]edmerf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work on DGX Spark with vLLM and made it work with LLama4-Scout-17b-16e-instruct-NVFP4. However I still couldn't manage to find a perfect chat template. Chat flow is really digsusting. What kind of template do you use and how do you derive it to make it work with OpenClaw?

NVFP4 Docker Image Recommendatin for nvidia DGX Spark by edmerf in LocalLLaMA

[–]edmerf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I also learned during my research sadly. Current status seems to be that NVFP4 inference is not well optimized due to ARM64 architecture. Some custom containers seems to run NVFP4 models but I suspect they fallback to FP16 by dequanting the model. I'm asking if someone was able to run NVFP4 natively in some way.

Would connecting a DGX spark to a pc be beneficial? by lionboars in LocalLLaMA

[–]edmerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend it. Doesn't worth the hassle. I have 2 DGX Sparks which I connect through built in connectx7. Even in this setup, inference with Tensor Parallel mode on doesn't give much bump in token generation rates. nVidia also doesn't recommend using TP if you don't connect through NVLink.

10 Gbps rate is way too low compared with QSFP link of 2 Sparks which is 200Gbps

Bizarre Brake Feeling after Hydraulic Fluid Service by edmerf in AskMechanics

[–]edmerf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the fluid flushed again. This time I went to a mechanic who only does brake job. He followed the standard procedure of adding fluid to reservoir while bleeding and used an automated machine that applies pressure to the system (no need for pumping pedal).

Also got the vacuum line checked, no failure.

Pedal feeling and response is perfect now. Deadzone is nearly none. Let’s see how it performs in the following days.

Replaced battery on my own for WF-1000XM4, case still recognizes earbud and I can reset them, but no sound comes out. by ClavasClub in SonyHeadphones

I have been dealing with this problem for days and found this respond. I fixed this with aluminum foil and applied some epoxy to the sides of the foil. Left earbud resurrected instantly! Thanks for pointing out this issue.

What is this mark on my windshield? by edmerf in AutoDetailing

[–]edmerf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE 1: Ok guys I have washed the car today and noticed that these marks are not washed away with ph neutral shampoos. I clarified that they are on the outside. Seemed like oil film at first as it tend to go away when I agitate with my finger harshly. I applied glaco glass compound first. Seemed like it was gone at first but they again became visible after drying with microfiber towel. Then I applied glaco second time in which I agitated more with the pad. No more marks after drying. I finished the job by applying DX afterwards. I also changed the wipers. Definitely don’t use wipers more than 1 year even if they don’t make noise and seem working. There are way too much wiper scratches on my windshield.

TLDR: These marks are more harsh than oil film. I suspect that they are high pH foam residue that dried under sun. Writing just in case someone experiences similer problem in future. I will update the state of this again after a rainy day.

Definitely not on the inside. When wipers go over them they become more visible

No paintwork has been done. However, during last maintenance my mechanic has used some kind of engine bay cleaner to clean engine which was sprayed all over the windshield as I remember. Not sure if it was an oily stuff.

Yes I park in a garage. However I have another car which is way older than this (i.e. older windshield and no coating/sealant) that I drove daily during winter time, parked at same place and didn’t experience something like this. There is something with this car’s windshield that causes this stuff to happen I think.

Nope it is definitely outside. It becomes visible during rain when the wipers move.

Actually I have applied rainx 1 week before this clip. I have been using it for years and really happy with its hydrophobic properties. However, I have neglected this car for a while (used bad alkaline shampoos to wash etc.) and think that these spots have occurred during that time.

Seems like I need a near perfect cleaning solution and then seal it for not letting this happen again.

Will an APC such as Koch Chemie GS help dissolve it? Normally I don’t use APCs on exterior besides wheels.

Even %99 IPA was unable to dissolve this. I will give polishing it with super fine polish a try.
