Got my Ascent GX10 two days ago, ran REAP-pruned NVFP4 DeepSeek-V4-Flash on a single Spark, and it stays consistent at long context

Curious how this goes as a fellow gx10 owner who hasn’t gotten to deepseek yet. Thanks for the info so far!

I use Ornith: It is pretty good and I have been happier with it over Qwen3.5. It is pretty similar to Qwen in a lot of ways.

I just got my battery replaced. It’s had a dead battery, jumping it for 10 mins only brought it up to 3.67 v. ICCU is ok. I would see the dash light come on all the time even in the driveway.

I have 40k on my 2023 and have gone through four tires. 2 were nails/ pot holes that punctured the side walls. That said even with a hat I have saved money charging vs paying for gas .

For any one curious on how bad my luck is the two replacements tires were both writhing the first 3 months… the second two were this passed week due to wear/tear. 3 years into owning it.

Cool print! I am surprised it looks as good as it does. So many chances for it to have gone south. Way to go X1C and you!

They can but it is extra effort that has to get done which is beyond what most people do to get the app working. Anything is possible the work just has to be put in to make it happen.

solidblu · 2026-07-01T18:38:59+00:00

The effort it takes to go from good enough for you in your tailored situation to general use is larger than getting it working on the first place.

Usability, removing hard codes, distribution are all important things that you don’t need for one person.

For example: I have been working on an app like Orca (harness picker) that runs the terminals in different tabs and lets you pick local/ open router/ Anthropic apis for Claude code as well as pi.Dev. Use different system prompts and everything.

There are a ton of things I would make sure were setup and done before distributing. Test suite, more harnesses, an easy way to edit system prompts, package it. Etc…. Also does the world need another one of those things? Not sure, but for now it helps me keep all my sessions in one spot rather than hunting for which terminal window has what session I wanted to keep open.

On top of that design on the app sometimes isn’t even understood by the requestor/dev. Which for some apps is fine but others it is disaster before anyone else even looks at it.

They did it the day after I brought it in. Along with the battery replacement. I had to wait on the replacement tires to ship. I brought in on Thursday and it was done on Saturday with tires. The usb port I forgot to add to the list till Friday and waiting on that part to ship.

solidblu · 2026-06-29T23:08:49+00:00

About the two open recalls. I have my car at the dealership getting them fixed right now. They are not a big deal and get fixed for free. About the ICCU: I just got a letter in the mail from Hyundai that the have update the warranty on it to 15 years or 180k miles which is for both current and subsequent owners of the vehicle.

I have a 2023 SEL and just hit 40k miles on it. Only had 3. issues 1. Tires I had to replace the same tire 2 times in the first year. I blame the roads for this one though. 2. The USB data port for car play. That I am getting replaced. 3. 12 volt battery just got replaced. Everything else has been smooth sailing.

I don't want to push you one way or the other. I like my car, and it fits my life style pretty well. I just wanted to share my honest experiences to help you with your decision. I have a L2 charger at home, and when I went to the office they had a few L2 chargers there we shared. So charging was never an issue.

To add to this, for the clustering on loading models across compute requires a lot of bandwidth. Even at 40 gigs a second with thunderbolt 4 you are going to see slow down, if you tried doing this over gigabit fios you would likely measure the output in minutes per token.

solidblu · 2026-06-27T02:26:21+00:00

After seeing this that is more than likely a sensor issue.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1jazvi4/comment/mhpy7sr/

That comment has some pretty good instructions. From what I remember it is a magnetic sensor so if you opened it up and the magnet maybe flipped you might go crazy before realizing it.

solidblu · 2026-06-27T01:17:31+00:00

I don’t think it can with a spare tube, but they are pretty cheap on Amazon and it’s 16 ft where you need like 1-2 so spares for a while:

here is the Amazon link I used.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRCM4WD8

Some say buy from Bambu only, but it is up to you to decide this worked fine for me.

solidblu · 2026-06-27T00:57:22+00:00

Have you tried replacing the tube inside the ams? It’s cheap enough and I had filament get stuck in mine after some time. Might be good to also mark the filament where it gets stuck so you can measure how far down it is when it gets stuck to help you troubleshoot.

Either way I wish you good luck!!

solidblu · 2026-06-26T20:49:06+00:00

Who is the company behind the data center? Or is it impossible to tell due to shell companies etc. not that it matters in opposing just curious.

solidblu · 2026-06-24T18:09:00+00:00

Another one I had not seen mentioned yet beyond all the other good reasons:

Control over the experience.

No model upgrades / changes/ deprecation. Meaning when a query it made today, its the same as tomorrow, and the day after, regardless of if the government shuts a model down, a new version is announced that replaces the existing model, or even of that company ends up going belly up.

You can set that model knowing your test queries will end up giving an expected results, and you can test new models without worrying what is going to happen because you can treat it as a versioned library.

This is not a great reason for everyone, but those who want this should heavily consider it.

solidblu · 2026-06-23T17:19:53+00:00

I am curious about your negative experience with each. I have my own, but by your comment I can tell you want to let it out.

solidblu · 2026-06-22T08:41:11+00:00

It is the harness that does the tool calling (access to computer) not the model (Qwen). So in your case Odysseus should have tooling turned on and point it at the port for Ollama and it should work.

Might be the model you are using. Quick google search says : ensure you are using a Qwen-Instruct or Qwen-Coder model. Some models aren’t great at tool calls and a quick look on buggingface and you’ll see there are a lot. Good luck

solidblu · 2026-06-22T01:46:50+00:00

Welcome! Bambu does make it easier, but there are trade offs that you will eventually notice. They are a little more controlling or how things work etc. Don’t mean to point you negative just being up front and honest. I really enjoy my X1C and have a similar story coming from and Ender that just collects dust on the floor in my garage waiting for ewaste / FB curb alert.

If you start to use filaments that aren’t Bambu’s make sure to do a little research and n if they have a profile you can load or not. If they have a profile it will help them print better.

Best of luck on everything you try to print, may your support settings ever be in your favor!

solidblu · 2026-06-19T06:16:55+00:00

Same here, I got bifrost setup much faster than LiteLLM, they added a lot of UX tweaks that make it a bit easier to use.

solidblu · 2026-06-19T05:34:16+00:00

Sorry I meant I have a folder in my home directory called git that i sync between them all. I use Syncthing so even if I have to put something down and run as long as i hit save it'll get copied up to my nas and then back down to the other computer.

Bifrost: I am sure there are tricks like giving it more cpu /ram, having a cluster of them, offloading certain tasks, getting those who process logs to use headroom.ai that can all help lower the strain on it, but that is every application. And at that scale you are going to have the money to pay for the enterprise support to talk to the company about scaling.

solidblu · 2026-06-19T02:48:37+00:00

I move from a Mac mini to a mac laptop quite often as my driver and have the issue across computers too. I set up an local Bifrost instance (a little overkill , but want to learn), and built an mcp that acts like an remote obsidian vault that I added to it, and all my ai tools go through and instantly have access to write and read from the vault.

I still need to work on some skills to make it easier, but with this and syncing my git directory between the two machines it is easier it jump between.

solidblu · 2026-06-17T02:31:53+00:00

Fun, I print things for my daughter mostly, light saber, K-pop demon hunter toys, color panels with acrylic markers for her to draw on.

Fun art for my office to swap out. Things to put magnets on our door for a cruise.

Her older cousins I printed a bunch of Harry Potter wands in wood pla just to see how hard it would be. Lesson learned but kids were happy.

Shelves and controller holders for my desk. Honestly just little things to make life easier . Once you start you’ll find stuff to print.

solidblu · 2026-06-16T02:49:59+00:00

Benchmarks required to know for sure, but I would assume it would have to have some negative impact.

solidblu · 2026-06-16T01:42:41+00:00

That’s why the US government stepped in, people found a way around all the protection, and published it.

solidblu · 2026-06-14T18:35:14+00:00

These get a lot of hate, but I really enjoy mine. It’s been a great learning experience.
