Open source project for evaluating two models on specific task

mzubairtahir — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 06:40:19 +0000

THinking about making a open source community where developers using different models could evaluate for different tasks. Imagine small model doing similarly like large model for a specific task.

imporvements are happening in other things like less token usage, speed, cost etc

Ask HN: How much memory is useable by GPU in MacBook?

mzubairtahir — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 04:34:48 +0000

how much memory is actually useable by gpu in macbook? as it is shared(os and apps also have to use same memory)? and it is different than dedicated gpu memory.

sorry but asking again: how much memory is actually useable by gpu in macbook? as it is shared(os and apps also have to use same memory)? and it is different than dedicated gpu memory?

but still it can run handsome models

are you saying because of speed or it just cant run them?

For those who are using llms on macbook, Want to understand how macbook is different than dedicated GPU in running those models? and how to know how much a macbook is capable of running a model?

i think you did not check app properly, it is actually taking required context window from the user and then caluclate kv cache size and then count it along with size of model itself. it also reserves some more memory to avoid oom....

actually that input is broken. and sorry for that. and I am adding shared memory features in next iterations.

actually, currently it is not open source, but I am thinking about making it open source so that other developers can also contribute in it(espeically data layer). what do you think?

actually that's free by design, it is just broken. fixing it in next sprint. And really thanks for your feedback!!!

I kept seeing people ask "Which model i can run on my gpu", "will model X fit on my GPU". Thats why I built a filter on whichllmmodel that lets you search models by what will actually fit on your hardware (8GB, 16GB, 24GB, etc.) at a given quantization level.

I had an intuition that if AI is good at finding patterns, then it should also work for identifying patterns in a human’s writing style. So, I gave it a shot and built a system to replicate human writing, avoiding its usual robotic tone. I first tested the system on Sam Altman’s blog and generated a new article. I think it’s pretty close. So, I thought about sharing it with you guys

If you're an active Reddit user, you've probably wanted to use ChatGPT to summarize or analyze threads. But the problem is that ChatGPT usually can't access Reddit data or see threads in their actual form.

I made a Chrome extension that lets you scrape Reddit threads in JSON format, so you can easily analyze or summarize them using ChatGPT.

Hello, developers and engineers!

There are a lot of new libraries and frameworks out there, and many more are coming, especially in AI and AI agents.

But when you try a new one, do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Share your experiences!

Also, share some open-source libraries that are easy to start with based on their documentation.
