<p>Regardless of that, these don't seen to play for the same audience.<p>Codeberg Terms of Use[^0] makes it clear that it's only for "projects covered by a licence for free and open source software, free and open source hardware, or free cultural works", and "You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools". They also only provide private repos where the FOSS system need it for their infra or what not, and not just for any purpose.<p>These are totally fine for Codeberg to do, and it's wonderful for FOSS!!<p>However it is not a viable place for many projects that are on GitHub/GitLab now and would want to migrate, say: any commercial project, that would need "permission-free" private repos, or when the teams want to decided themselves how much generative AI their developers should use, not their Git-hosting provider...<p>So yeah, different ballpark.<p>[0]: <a href="https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/TermsOfUse.md" rel="nofollow">https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/TermsOfUse...</a></p>

<p>I'm not sure why, Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map[^0] always seemed so cool to me, would love to have something more like that. Though it's not "equal area", but the "no preferred direction" and the fact that it could be unfolded in many ways so no place is really privileged, sounds also a kind of fairness.<p>[0]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map</a></p>

<p>Taiwan has emergency messages, though not _that_ high frequency. There the main topics involve:<p>- earthquakes: these can arrive indeed before you even feel them (a few seconds before); they filter it to areas where it's expected to be felt, there are discussions around how sensitive to make it (how wide area it should cover)<p>- extremely heavy rain: this was new recently, and very useful, when locally it all went cats & dogs, more than maybe I've ever seen. See an example here: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117058657161401667" rel="nofollow">https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117058657161401667</a><p>- military drills: the yearly "if there's an invasion drill", they had sent reminder a week before, and then at the start/end; example here: <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117030180601973598" rel="nofollow">https://fosstodon.org/@imrehg/117030180601973598</a><p>- Chinese rocket launches that will fly over the island (not sure what could one do about it, and never seen anything, so maybe this is more borderline)<p>Interestingly (for me), the headers seems to change over time. Started with "Presidential Alert", there were "Government Alert" then, now "Emergency Alert" and just "Alert". I'm not sure if there area list of these or it evolved over time...</p>

<p>Interesting case of "fail closed" error handling: "we can't find a contract, so we destroy". I guess their worst case scenarios weigh being sued much higher than losing some stuff they cannot replace (not this manual, but other cases, which might be one-off).<p>I do wonder what would have happened if some months later they do actually find a contract, maybe slid between a filing cabinet and a wall... Absence of evidence and evidence of absence, aye?<p>Also enjoy Stallman's title, President and Chief GNUisance, which he definitely tried very hard to live up to, with that reply. (And I won't fault him for that. :)</p>

<p>I did report my test results on the first one. :)<p>The second I didn't say it's any of llama.cpp's "fault", but it is _related_ to llama.cpp since it's being shipped in another system, aye?<p>Can't stick to the old hash either, because older version have different bugs. E.g. on older versions the same Qwen3.6 model reliably fails to call specific tools due to template issues, while just having the newer llama.cpp version has that fixed. So different versions - different bugs, rather than no bugs.<p>Why the beating you are trying to gimme, mate? :)</p>

<p>I just switched to Vulkan, and be done with it. :)<p>As much as I can tell, the ROCm version of llama.cpp would be a bit faster on prompt processing, but about the same on the token generation as Vulkan. Real life benchmarks don't seem to give any "ROCm or nothing" sort of vibes. And the difference between the performance of different models are way bigger than the difference between the llama.cpp versions (and versus different runtimes like the llama.cpp/GGUF and the MLX runtimes on Mac for the same models)...<p>I've tinkered enough with the serving, that I'd rather do something with them with, say 10% slower speed, than spending hours on seting things up again... YMMV</p>

<p>llama.cpp works pretty well for me on the Framework 13 laptop, but the current era of "move fast, break things, rarely fix" (sorry, that's how it feels), bites here quite a bit.<p>Two examples:<p>- <a href="https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/25863" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/25863</a> Someone's few lines change broke the native (ROCm) support for the AMD GPU inside Framework (and other integrated systems), and any rollback or proper fix is pending for almost a month. Fortunately there's workaround (switching to Vulkan rather than ROCm devices), but both the way the bug was introduced and the way it is not fixed just doesn't give much confidencen<p>- LM Studio is using llama.cpp internally for GGUF, they ship their own build with their closed source system as "runtimes". Their ROCm runtime does not enable the the AMD GPU inside the Framework, even thought the llama.cpp version would support it. So their runtime keeps telling me that there's no supported AMD GPU -- again, the solution is to use the GPU with the Vulkan devices. Not fixed since Jan at least <a href="https://github.com/lmstudio-ai/lmstudio-bug-tracker/issues/1394" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lmstudio-ai/lmstudio-bug-tracker/issues/1...</a><p>I guess overall it's the worst runtime I've seen so far, except for all the other runtimes out there... I'm a fan, though in some cases I don't have enough knowledge, or I don't have access to fix things, and that feels like a bummer...</p>

<p>I have sent countless small bug fixes even before, to tools that I use that I could dig into when something was off... No big heavy lifting, but plenty of "tinker on your tools" stuff. And I don't think what I did was that special, so maybe the experiences are different?<p>The current LLM-driven stuff seems to break down the expectations, and now there are a lot of places which just ignore anything I send in (the same tinkers as before), generally, for a while. Though there are some tools that picked up the pace and actually react faster (so YMMV here too).<p>But there are few things more frustrating as being half-way. Case to point is LM Studio. It's closed source, has bugs (duh!), and there's at least a GitHub issue tracker to report the bugs -- but then by and large nothing happens to those reported things. It's almost worse than not having an issue tracker (then I could justify never to really touch LM Studio again, this way I keep hoping against hope that reports will turn into fixes and thus I keep using and keep reporting...)</p>

<p>From the Huggingface page, it is a fine-tuned version of the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B that is my alternative, and the benchmarks seems to be better. So I'm using as a "likely some quality gain over the other model, while the performance seems pretty much the same".<p>I've done a couple of checks, and it seems very marginally better on some local benchmarks I'm running, but it's not super scientific evaluation.</p>

<p>On the MoE versions of these models the MTP versions have only marginal benefit. In my trials the speed-up is <20% (not the ~2x that happens with some other setup/models) and usually more like 10%. Ie. something like 13 -> 15 token/s... on my device.<p>I still use the MTP version as it _feels_ slightly better quality, and because the unsloth quantizations I can get have more variety to fit into the various systems at hand... but that's not for the MTP aspect, unfortunately.<p>In the article they did have ~2x performance on the 27B (which might be something to retry, though on my Framework that would bring it from 5 -> 10 token/s so still "excrutiating" speed, probably).<p>YMMV for sure.</p>
