Local LLM Performance Infrastructure

In this episode:

Local LLM Performance & Infrastructure — The ik_llama.cpp fork achieves 3-4x multi-GPU speedups for local inference, enabling 70B models at 30-40 tokens/sec across four GPUs. Interpretability research on Llama-3.2-3B uncovered load-bearing hidden dimensions critical to coherent reasoning, while MLX-hyperbolic delivers GPU-accelerated hyperbolic geometry on Apple Silicon.

New Model Releases & Evaluations — IQuest-Coder-V1, a 40B coding model trained on repository evolution via Code-Flow, claims benchmark scores rivaling frontier…
