Splash 1.1.0 runs 27B models locally on top-spec Macs at ~50 tokens/sec. Local AI inference becomes practical—enterprises can skip cloud fees.
Reddit M5 Ultra user tested Zhipu's GLM-5.3-Flash: 256GB RAM handles local AI, but GPU is now the bottleneck—the memory wall is breaking.
Two NVIDIA DGX Sparks + Qwen models hit 181 tok/s concurrent across 9 parallel AI Agents. Local multi-Agent moves from demo to real work.
A basketball fan built a free YOLO-based tool cutting 2-3 hours of manual highlight editing to 30 minutes — no cloud AI required.
Reddit user milpster and Zhipu AI's GLM team release a llama.cpp fork optimized for AMD GFX906, letting Mi50, Mi60, and Radeon VII run LLMs locally.
A Reddit user ran Qwen's 35B MoE model at 21 t/s on a ~$280 Radeon 7600 + 64GB DDR4 + Ryzen 5600. Local AI's hardware barrier is dropping fast.
A developer got DeepSeek V4's massive MoE running on a 32GB laptop at 70 tok/s input by resharding weights to SSDs and speculative expert prefetch — p
ll ama-server now supports speech-to-text via Google's Gemma-4 E2A and E4A multimodal models.
Running Gemma 4 locally on CUDA requires strict dtype matching at KV cache boundaries or output degenerates silently.
