I've been using Qwen3.5 122B A10B (Q3_K_XL) a lot lately for coding, and it's been pretty incredible overall like it feels not far off from frontier-level for most tasks -- but I've been noticing that usually once I hit around 75-80k context use, it starts to get dumb all of a sudden. It just hits a brick wall and quality deteriorates rapidly and drastically. It'll begin hallucinating, forgetting things, or think something it said/suggested was actually something that I said. I found I have to compact before I get to that point, and then it keeps going on just fine. Is this because I'm running Q3? Unfortunately Q4 is just outside of the capability of my system specs unless I want to start disk swapping. So is it just an issue with this particular model? Or because it's Q3? Are there llama.cpp settings that can help? I'm already using BF16 KV cache.   submitted by   /u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_ [link]   [comments]

Augmented Equivariant Mesh Networks for Anatomical Mesh Segmentation (ICML 2026 Workshops) [R]

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.08172 Workshops: AI for Science & Structured Data for Health at ICML 2026 Abstract: Anatomical mesh segmentation requires models that operate directly on irregular surface geometry while remaining robust to arbitrary patient pose and mesh resolution variation. Existing task-specific mesh and point-cloud methods are not equivariant, and can degrade sharply under test-time perturbation, for example dropping by 25-26 IoU points on intraoral scan segmentation at 40o tilt. We present EAMS, an Equivariant Anatomical Mesh Segmentor built on Equivariant Mesh Neural Networks (EMNN), and evaluate it across four clinically distinct tasks spanning edge-, vertex-, and face-level supervision. We combine intrinsic mesh descriptors with anatomy-aware priors, including PCA-derived frames for dental arches and liver surfaces, and augment message passing to provide lightweight global context. Across intracranial aneurysm and intraoral segmentation, EAMS variants are competitive with specialized baselines on unperturbed inputs while remaining stable under geometric perturbations, and on liver surfaces they expose a favorable trade-off between canonical-pose accuracy and rotation robustness. These results show that a lightweight (<2M parameters) equivariant framework can deliver robust anatomical mesh segmentation across diverse supervision types without task-specific architectures. Hi everyone I’m excited to share my solo paper "Augmented Equivariant Mesh Networks for Anatomical Mesh Segmentation" which has been accepted for poster presentations at the ICML 2026 workshops on AI for Science and Structured Data for Health. The project stemmed from my parallel research on structural encoders for biomolecules where enforcing roto-translational equivariance is standard. In this work, I wanted to extend those principles directly to various 3D medical meshes. While current anatomical mesh segmentation methods are highly disjoint and anato

MOSS-TTS-v1.5 MOSS-TTS-v1.5 is continued from MOSS-TTS 1.0. It preserves the main 1.0 capabilities, including zero-shot voice cloning, long-form speech generation, token-level duration control, Pinyin/IPA pronunciation control, multilingual synthesis, and code-switching. For the full 1.0 feature walkthrough, input schema, decoding hyperparameters, and evaluation tables, please refer to the MOSS-TTS 1.0 README. Compared with MOSS-TTS 1.0, v1.5 focuses on the following improvements: Stronger multilingual synthesis with language tags: when the language field is omitted, v1.5 may improve some languages and regress slightly on others compared with 1.0. When the language is specified, v1.5 is stronger than 1.0 on almost all supported languages. Set the tag when building the user message, for example processor.build_user_message(text=text_fr, language="French"). More stable voice cloning: v1.5 improves speaker similarity and reduces cloning variance, making repeated generations more consistent. Better long-reference, short-text cloning: v1.5 handles scenarios where the reference audio is much longer than the target text more reliably than 1.0. More stable punctuation-following prosody: v1.5 follows punctuation-driven pauses more closely, especially in long sentences. Explicit pause control: v1.5 supports inline pause markers such as "[pause 3.2s]". For example, 我今天学习了一首中国的古诗,它的名字是[pause 3.2s]静夜思! inserts an explicit 3.2s pause before 静夜思. Supported Languages MOSS-TTS-v1.5 currently supports 31 languages. It keeps the 20 languages supported by MOSS-TTS 1.0 and extends multilingual continued training to additional languages including Cantonese, Dutch, Finnish, Hindi, Macedonian, Malay, Romanian, Swahili, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese. They released additional model as well. https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOSS-SoundEffect-v2.0   submitted by   /u/pmttyji [link]   [comments]

Just what the post says. Looking to make local AI easier so literally anyone can do “all the things” very easily. We built an installer that sets up all your OSS apps for you, ties in the relevant models and pipelines and back end requirements, gives you a friendly UI to easily look at everything in one place, monitor hardware, etc. Currently works on Linux, Windows, and Mac. We have kind of blown up recently and have a lot of really awesome people contributing and building now, so it’s not just me anymore it’s people with Palatir and Google and other big AI credentials and a lot of really cool people who just want to see local AI made easier for everyone everywhere. We just finished automatic multi GPU detection and coordination as well, so that if you like to fine tune these things you can, but otherwise the system will setup automatic parallelism and coordination for you, all you’d need is the hardware. Also currently in final tests for model downloads and switching inside the dashboard UI so you can manage these things without needing to navigate a terminal etc. I’d really love thoughts and feedback. What seems good, what people would change, what would make it even easier or better to use. My goal is that anyone anywhere can host local AI on anything so a few big companies can’t ever try to tell us all what to do. That’s a big goal, but there’s a lot of awesome people that believe in it too helping now so who knows? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!   submitted by   /u/Signal_Ad657 [link]   [comments]

I am a CS undergrad and I think token economics is the next big problem for companies. I am building a LLM router specifically for code and codebases. The Routing is not actually done by a heavily fine tuned llm(already existing solutions do this). Using a bit of a different approach. I am gauging the complexity by measuring interaction between signals that can be cheaply extracted from the prompt. One of these signals is what I like to call blooms_intent, based on bloom’s taxonomy. Bloom's taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals. If a query is “What is this” it falls under remember category whereas “implement this” is more of create category. Questions:- How do I find datasets for this purpose. Is bootstrapping datasets using AI fine for this. Should I do centroid based classification which I’ve been doing till now but the confidence difference between categories for ambiguous queries is way too close. What is the best dataset size and classifier that can somewhat reliably differentiate nuances between queries. You may ask why not use AI for these questions. I have and that’s why I’ve come here. Please lmk your thoughts and thanks in advance!!   submitted by   /u/getridofaks [link]   [comments]

Slightly unhinged engineering decision but it works. My tool (ScholarScout) has a 2-3 minute pipeline: fetch papers from 8 databases → analyze trends → generate ideas. During that time, the user sees a pixel art owl running through a parallax forest. The fun part: it's not fake animation. Each paper dot that spawns in the game corresponds to a real paper_found SSE event from the backend. Papers drip-feed at 600ms intervals from a queue (even if the fetch returned 30 papers at once). Colors = source (white=arXiv, green=PubMed, purple=Crossref). When pipeline finishes, owl celebrates.

Spent the last few months building this on a single RTX 5070. Quick context: diffusion language models (like LLaDA from gsai-ml) are a different beast from GPT-style autoregressive LLMs. Instead of generating one token at a time, they start with a fully masked sentence and iteratively denoise the whole thing in parallel. Cool tech, but mainstream serving engines are all built around the autoregressive contract, so none of them serve diffusion LLMs. dlmserve fills that gap: OpenAI-compatible HTTP API (/v1/chat/completions) Automatic continuous batching at the denoising-step level Optional LocalLeap acceleration baked in Token-identical to the reference HF implementation at temperature=0 2.5x throughput vs HF at batch=4, plus another ~1.8x from LocalLeap Runs in 12 GB VRAM (RTX 3090/4090/5070 all fit).

I’ve been reading GPU architecture docs in my free time. NVIDIA PTX, AMD ISA reference guides, Intel Xe, reverse-engineered Apple GPU stuff. Over 5,000 pages across 16 microarchitectures. After a while you notice all four vendors are doing the same 11 things with different names. So I wrote a spec that covers all of them and built a toolchain around it. It’s called WAVE. You write a kernel once, it compiles to a portable binary, then thin backends translate it to Metal, PTX, HIP, or SYCL. Same binary verified on Apple M4 Pro, NVIDIA T4, and AMD MI300X. My co-author Onyinye built PyTorch integration and got identical training results across all backends. Please star on GitHub: https://github.com/Oabraham1/wave Preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28793 Read full docs and how I built everything: https://wave.ojima.me pip install wave-gpu   submitted by   /u/not-your-typical-cs [link]   [comments]

I previously hated on this model, but I have just been impressed by it, and I understand the hype now. I have been working on a HTML5 game console and I decided to see if Qwen3.6 27B can handle making some quick games in it to showcase functionality (save games, console API handling for stat tracking and heartbeat management, meta data for the game, etc) I gave it 3 files, explaining how the API works, the gamepad controls, and a typescript shader for it to apply. Then I just game it a very simple prompt "make a breakout game for this console, in the working directory are reference files on how to make it". First result was immediately playable, controls made sense, graphics style was was unique and appropriate, sound worked, console API all worked, and it felt good and was actually fun. It added flair that made it not feel like the vibecoded breakout clone it was. It went way above and beyond the minimum that I've seen so many LLMs do. It was not lazy in the slightest. It's a simple test, but this is something everything but something like Opus could handle. There wasn't anything particularly done well, it's just that the whole game was nearly complete in a single shot and it felt like thought was put into the entire game. All I needed was one follow up for customization and a single glitch and it was already what I would consider complete. And this was on a 27B model with Opencode. The best way I can describe it, is that it was congruent. Now I just wish I went the Nvidia card route instead of Strix Halo cause the speed isn't great. Maybe 3.7 35B A3B can have some of this magic.   submitted by   /u/Forward_Jackfruit813 [link]   [comments]

Just released a blog on a side research project I have been doing for the past two months and would love for you all to check out and see how it is! It's about output length-constrained summarization using LLMs with GRPO. All experiments run on tiny LLMs - Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct and LFM-2.5-350M on a 3x Mac mini M4 cluster (16 GB each), single-node training with multi-node vLLM inference for rollouts. The core question: can you teach a sub-500M model to summarize Reddit posts in exactly 64 tokens while keeping the quality high? The baseline zero-shot answer: not really. Composite G-Eval scores of 2.376 (Qwen) and 2.332 (LFM) under zero-shot prompting, with pass rates of just 21% and 13%. That was the starting point. I tested 12 reward configurations across 2 training strategies: Strategy 1 - Length-Penalty Fine-tuned: Train on length reward first → checkpoint → fine-tune with quality rewards only. Strategy 2 - Length-Penalty Included (a.k.a joint): Length + quality rewards active simultaneously from step 1. 24 checkpoints total. One clear winner between the two strategies. The quality reward signals: ROUGE-L - LCS F1 against the reference METEOR - precision/recall with stemming + synonym matching BLEU - n-gram precision with a brevity penalty And all their pairwise combinations. Evaluated with G-Eval (LLM-as-judge) across Faithfulness, Coverage, Conciseness, and Clarity. The staged curriculum wins - consistently. Best composite scores: LFM: 2.904 (quality-meteor, fine-tuned) vs 2.701 (joint) Qwen: 2.817 (quality-bleu-rouge, fine-tuned) vs 2.769 (joint) Practical takeaways: Staged curriculum (length first, quality second) outperforms joint training in absolute score METEOR + ROUGE-L is the most reliable reward combination under both strategies The length constraint is also a regularizer - it prevents the Coverage ↔ Conciseness collapse that happens when quality rewards run unconstrained BLEU alone is not worth including as a standalone reward signal for summa
