I'm running it in router mode, but people on Reddit were recommending people use llama-swap instead. Am I missing something by using router mode?

Poolside Laguna was quite good too (if you look beyond some of the teething issues).

Had Deepseek V4 Flash 0731 not launched, their latest Laguna release was really intelligent at non-coding tasks and it would have been my go-to model for my local workloads.

At 1.5 bits per weight it'll still be over 500gb - that's still not running on consumer hardware.

Best case they release smaller models. 120b class of qwen 3.8 would be incredible - it fits on device for those serious about AI, but without millions of dollars in hardware for terabytes of VRAM

If he bans them, they'll just show up as torrents. Or we'll download them from Chinese hugging face.

Over Dario's dead body.

At least Sam have us a nice model last year with the gpt-oss family.

Events in the future are labelled in past tense. Rather than "happened in 4.5B" you could write "forecast in 4.5B"

Why risk it either way if they provide weights for others to run this?

Am I being overly cautious not wanting to send my data to Chinese companies?

Thankyou. Sorry to hear it locked up your browser. That definitely sounds like a bug - I've got GPT 5.6 Sol on the case...

Thanks - I'm saving the biggest and oldest producers like Spain and Italy till last so I can do them justice.

Continuing to build my olive oil tracking site (https://www.extravirginvault.com/) and pipeline. Freshness is king in the world of olive oil, and I hope to highlight to people they can find high quality, fresh olive oil produced near them.

It's been received well from producers and olive oil enthusiasts (e.g. looking for specific chemistry, cultivars and similar oils) but I feel like I've been shadow banned from Google - I seem to get more traffic from DuckDuckGo and Bing.

> I pre-cache all the domains I use hourly via cron.

How does this look? Shell script querying a list of hostnames? What qualifies as a domain you use?

It would be nice if a site like this could offer a basic speed comparison test to your local network.

Imagine seeing response times at P90 for a series of random lookups and comparing the median response times.

Well spotted! I'm leaving the OG's like Greece, Spain and Italy till last so I can do them justice.

It's sad to see 11ty co-opted like this especially after building a complex project on it with several thousand pages (https://www.extravirginvault.com/). Despite the complexity, I feel like it's only a couple of days work to replatform my site to a more modern SSG like Astro.

Unfortunately I don't think anyone feels strongly enough about 11ty to fight for it when the next SSG is a few Claude Code prompts away.

Presumably in much the same way it knows it needs to use to calls for reaching its objective.

How's it compare in quality with larger models in the same series? E.g 122b?

Are there existing alternatives to this? I use KDE, but I have also heard Steam OS has something similar.
