That first diagram is striking: that deepseek's own inference is at least 5% higher on tool calling (TAU Bench) than most other providers. I wonder if they make sure their responses are valid json at the token generation level using a

Sector C might have some insights into how to make this even smaller or more featurefull. It has some interesting hacks. https://xorvoid.com/sectorc.html

Are you talking about using a thunderbolt dock and GPU? I doubt that's a use case high in the developers minds. I'm curious though, I wonder if the open source NVIDIA driver can be built for it.

LLMs token generation is memory bandwidth constrained. If the M7 has double the memory bandwidth as some speculate [1], then it will help with LLM performance. There is also expectation (possibly unfounded) that the GPU will have improved

The data center growth questions he raised have been where I found him interesting. I could never find any other articles to corroborate his predictions though. My question is when will the AI bubble burst? I didn't know he'd had

I agree about getting the Ultra if you're interested in AI (LLM) inference speed. I'm a little perplexed as to why there isn't a RAM option in between 96GB and 256GB, though. For instance, I believe Deepseek v4 flash runs a

One problem with Anubis is that once you've solved the POW once, you just need to hold the cookie to avoid solving it again. Scrapers have probably learnt to do that by now. So Anubis isn't as effective as it used to be before it

> I'd skip M5 and M6 chips for LLM work and wait for a year for M7. Another note on this, it's likely the M7 ultra will be released around 6 months after the M7 Max, if the M1 and M5 are taken as reference. So the M7 ultra may

Both of you should mention what quant you're using. And as another comment said, what tasks you're doing, i.e. coding, classification, summarizing etc.

My Intel laptop is pretty close to silent on Linux. ThinkPad p14s. As soon as it boots into Windows 11 the fan is very audible.

> I'd skip M5 and M6 chips for LLM work and wait for a year for M7. Or you could lease an M5 max/ultra until the M7 equivalent comes out. At least in the US a leasing option is available.

I've had a 1GiB VPS for a while. I'm starting to think that I could have done with 512MB for the fairly simple jobs I have on it. As long as I get 1 whole CPU slice (no slowdowns) I'd be ok. The 10GB SSD would be tight, but

Their statement about sharing an Ultra for an office LLM server is a little misleading. The tokens/second would be too slow for any business use case. You'd want to buy multiple GPUs for that purpose, probably Nvidia, despite th

Agreed. The AI news cycle is constant and promises the eventual end to human usefulness. I feel like one day we'll be but pets to the machines (like those in Iain M. Banks' culture novels), but real life won't be a communist

Enjoying the "DOS" font of the code examples. The wikipedia page on the Pentium has multiple references to an Intel publication called "Solutions", May/June 1993. It would be interesting to see that, but can't
