current homelab setup for local AI experimentation: - hermes box hosted on a Framework Desktop Mainboard AI Max+ 395 - 5090 eGPU running Qwen 3.8 27B for fast tok/s LLM use - sometimes 150+ tok/s - 2x DGX Spark: running Deepseek v4 Flash 0731 - better but slower model - pi 5 for monitoring - Mac mini as a dev box - use Herdr and ohmypi/codex/claude depending on the use case - housed in a 10" DeskPi mini rack (mostly) Hermes is defaulted to local AI but with a homegrown routing plugin hitting a small low TTFT model (Arch-Router) to decide whether to go local or upgrade to cloud/frontier.

Former L8 engineer at Meta, Microsoft and Atlassian, now writing and building solo on agentic engineering. Writes Kun's Field Notes and posts a lot about AI coding agents on X.
every model provider should learn from meta's pricing model for muse spark, with fully transparent subsidization labeled for the contributor tier stop doing "in order to use our model at a good price, you must use our harness which secretly collects your data and/or upload your codebase" meta clearly proved there's a way to collect training data without relying on a harness. just be transparent about when you collect data vs not, clearly communicate how much the data is worth, and give the choice to the user and i really don't need your harness. i already have SO MANY state of the art harness… Related

A spark may light a prairie fire. A man may cause the spark. He cannot dry out the prairie grass. Quoting @ParkerThayer This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works: 1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an excl… Related

Venture capitalist and founder of Theory Ventures, previously a partner at Redpoint. Writes a near-daily blog on startups, SaaS metrics, data and AI.
Meta launched two things yesterday : a state-of-the-art model & a new pricing system for foundation models. Muse Spark propels US open source models to the frontier. Meanwhile, the pricing system resets the industry’s economics. open source Related

It’s a very interesting book, but for some reason Michio Kaku’s style doesn’t spark me as much as Briane Greene’s or Stephen Hawking’s or Neil deGrasse Tyson’s.

AI research engineer working on large language models. He writes the Ahead of AI newsletter and is the author of Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).
Whoa, Meta released a new open-weight LLM yesterday, something that hasn't happened since the good old Llama days. Their Meta Muse Glimmer model is a 30B multimodal reasoning model with a Gemma-like architecture design. (“Glimmer” is probably a wordplay on “Spark,” the more likely capable model from which Glimmer was distilled. Muse Spark is only available through Meta’s Model API, though.) Architecture-wise, here are some of the main points: 1. "Only" a 131k context window, compared to Qwen3.6 and Gemma 4, which support 2x that natively; it's reasonable, but maybe on the shorter end in the a… LLMs Related

I was not impressed with the DGX Spark; it's described as an "AI supercomputer on your desk" but in reality it has lower tokens/sec than a good laptop GPU - and on top of that, you have to figure out the networking details of how to connect to it from your actual work device etc.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
