I know nothing about "vLLM" -> anything better compared to "llama.cpp"? I started with "Ollama" (precompiled version) and it worked and was good enough to understand the very basics. Then I downloaded the so

The parameter "reasoning_effort" is something new, or am I wrong? Qwen3.8 comes with official support for reasoning_effort, which can be used to adjust reasoning depth and control cost: - xhigh (default): for complex tasks

Gentoorian here as well, cheers. I use it since ~20 years on most of my notebooks/PCs/root servers mainly because of its flexibility and I often end up wanting to use the very latest versions of software (e.g. ZFS, kernels, etc...

In my case it somehow depends a lot on the task being performed... . E.g. when doing text transcription/OCR from images (Qwen 3.6 27B Q4_K_M by Bartowski) with a context size of ~50k I get a pp of ~460 tokens per second and a generatio

I always run just one model at once, I switch between them depending on what I do (e.g. Qwen3.6 27B Q5_K_M by Bartowski when programming with "OpenHands" and when doing OCR text transcription and transformation, Gemma4 31B-it Q5_K

So if I understand correctly 3 modules are involved: - esp4 (kernel config "CONFIG_AF_RXRPC") - esp6 (kernel config "CONFIG_INET_ESP") - rxrpc (kernel config "CONFIG_INET6_ESP") Is this correct?
