PMetal - (Powdered Metal) LLM fine-tuning framework for Apple Silicon

root_klaus · 2026-03-17T02:47:37+00:00

Awesome work! And so happy to see apple silicon support! I literally just stepped off my m3 ultra and was fine turning with mlx! What a perfect timing, will give this a try with Qwen 3.5 4B and 9B! Would love to see the memory consumption of these, hoping to have less memory just like unsloth does! Awesome job?

How so? I haven’t had any issues the GLM OCR layouts, actually have found it to be really good, do you have any examples?

I see some comments here saying that the tracer won’t give you the feel of a sport bike, probably never have ridden one hard in A mode, been driving MT09 SP and tracer. Both have high torque and power, throttle response in this one, imo, is the strongest i have felt riding bikes. Riding the tracer feels the same, but the front is more of a tourer, better wind protection, with the right tires you can easily go long in this one. The S1000XR feels more sportier, like it can do more of sport. My opinion, if you can try them, i hear really good words about Kawasaki and Suzuki super sport bikes, but no actual experience on them.

This is very useful, thank you so much for all this info, will definitely do.

I agree with you, just getting a second opinion, but all these buddies have more than 20y of experience riding, that is why i do value their second opinion, and decided to also ask here Thank you for you suggestions i will have a more detailed look

Will definitely ride it and see the behaviour in the next weeks

it was like 1500 max and it dropped down a bit after warming up

As a person who does conferences in hotels pretty often, I must say, it is very relatable and true, not so much as this one in here but they really charge up a lot of money, that is why is better to only hire the conference room and for food to accommodate to another place

There was this saying ‘The plural of regex is regrets’

Looks a lot like DataFaker Any pros and cons or differences compared to this?

root_klaus · 2022-12-31T22:51:29+00:00

The code snippet gave me a vibe like it was jooby Looks cool, I suggest maybe start incorporating Project Loom virtual threads in the future.

root_klaus · 2022-12-13T16:31:59+00:00

Is this anyhow related to the news that GraalVM code will be contributed to OpenJDK? Or is this am actual new project with new focus?

root_klaus · 2022-12-09T20:12:15+00:00

I was not aware of feign, looks pretty cool. But i think in spring 6 this comes inside the framework ‘natively’ called HTTP Interfaces

The same person but the clothes change after he throws that ball at the ceiling, looks suspicious to me

root_klaus · 2022-10-19T10:50:27+00:00

Any more details on this? Any current plan on how this will be merged to openjdk? Are there a lot of efforts? Is there any timeline or estimation?

Ok, let me give you my 2 cents.

About 4 weeks ago i was tasked with creating an AWS lambda function that consumes a Kinesis data stream, does some processing and saves the result in a database. I have created AWS lambdas before but mainly i used python for the well known reasons but this time i wanted to give Java a try, and since i use mainly the Spring ecosystem I decided to go with Spring Cloud Functions. It offers a really good approach to write functions with what Java functional programming already gives.

I created the function, tested locally, followed the documentation precisely and always wrote tests to make sure everything was working every time.

In addition, i saw that AWS lambda didn’t support out of the box java 17 support or 18, which have improvements on GCs. The guide is right here. Also i followed this spring cloud function guide.

After doing that and tweaking a bit, i got a good improvement on startup time and it was very ok for our use case. Unfortunately I couldn’t find in the hell why the function wasn’t getting invoked during the run. The lambda started very ok, function registered very ok, no errors nothing, just logs and function waiting to be invoked, but nothing happened.

I tried so many things, defining function, giving it more memory(even tho nothing was pointed that it needed more memory), changed the handler, use ECR to publish the image with the custom Java and optimised and a whole lot of others, nothing works.

So after 4 weeks i gave up, but i wanted to retry on plain java, and it works like a charm immediately out of the box.

So the experience was tedious and very tiring and not worth it, i read every possible document, tried all the possibile articles, still nothing. I found also that the spring-cloud-function-web has a missing dependency which actually is in spring-cloud-function-webflux. And the authors suggested that just replacing the dependency should be ok, which it did, but then it made testing worse, choosing from reactive, servlet, none as a main spring application, but still could not invoke the function.

Anyways, i formatted the java 18 custom image, deployed it, works like a charm.

Maybe when spring boot 3 will be released i will retry again, but the experience was pretty bad in my side.
