<p>Qwen3.8-27B runs at 59.5 tok/s on my M4 Max, 40-core GPU, 128 GB<p>I use it occasionally for classification and other tasks but I wouldn't trust those smaller models with the real work and for larger data processing it's too slow, e.g. a dataset I wanted to classify would've taken 56 days on my laptop vs just paying the cheap Luna prices to openai and getting it done in a few hours.</p>

<p>Honestly I have no idea what you are even replying to. My comment was essentially "The fund bet big and lost, but don't read it as him going bankrupt" as I saw many people interpret it that way.<p>I find the emotional charge in your message quite strange, and the "psychosis" might be you projecting something.</p>

<p>Nothing I wrote implies that I don't understand that distinction. What I'm saying is that despite this implosion he is still up ytd, so this liquidity crisis shouldn't be interpreted as him/his fund going bankrupt as many seem to want to read it.</p>

<p>+1 to the op. This is one of the first things I thought about after using it for a few minutes. I have a large collection of local knowledge bases that I use through codex, having this real time thing be able to plug into it would be the killer feature, otherwise the utility is severely limited. I don't want to talk to it about the weather, I want to brainstorm about the things I am working on, which it currently knows nothing about.</p>
