<p>Looks super promising! A couple of questions:<p>For new open weights models, will you need to adapt model code and optimization for your inference engine by hand?<p>It's true that BS=1 is king when it comes to agentic workflows, however these kinds of system serve multiple requests concurrently with dynamic batching.  Do you think it will scale as well ?<p>Any plans to release it open source?<p>Congratz again for the release</p>

<p>> It takes very little energy to digest fat, a moderate amount for carbs, and a high amount for protein.<p>Carbs are the easiest to digest, proteins and fats are the hardest. That's why they make you feel satiated for longer.<p>However fats are more calorie dense (9kcal per 1g, vs 4kcal per 1g of proteins/carbs). Which means, if you're not careful, you can binge eat fats more easily (I can consume 1000kcal of almonds without even noticing).</p>

<p>I live in San Marino, let me chime in!<p>The historic center, which is called San Marino Città, is a gorgeous medieval town and it's also part of UNESCO heritage. I definitely recommend a trip there, if you happen to be somewhere near.<p>When I went to school there, I regularly missed the bus so I had the chance of doing a few walks down to my home. It's a bit steep, since the town is located at the top of mount Titano at 700m of height, but it's truly charming.</p>
