I dont think its strata problem, its been running on my system for days without any crash.

"Model like this" not sute about ds v4.1 but qwen3.8 flash next is currently running on 10gb 3080 + 64 gb ddr5 ram at respectable 40-70t/s with 1200pp at max context

Indeed, I m surprised how little attention qwen-3.8.-flash-next seems to be getting while it's so well fitted for 128gb unified machines.

I have a 16GB 5060 and 32GB system. RAM - are there any recommended Qwen 3.8 Flash models worth running on this ? I am using Nemotron 30B A3B at the moment

I ran the Strata project with this on 32gb ram 16gb AMD 7900XTX. It goes about 20tok/s off the ssd. I'm guessing 64gb would go to 40tok/s. https://github.com/Niko1221/Strata Quality wise its not fast enough for me to eval. I'll probably spend some tokens on it through openrouter. DeepSeek 4 flash though is a mess compared to GPT Sol 6.1.

Fwiw I think you can run 3.8 flash (next?) on your setup with SSD streaming.

There's this video (1) that I found, and my understanding is that flash next can be very efficient wrt ram needed, by using a "dictionary" (or something similar).

32 gb of ram is gonna be your blocker for iq3, u will have to go iq2 and thus the output will suffer. At the plus side, it will spew faster than iq3.

Iq3xxs fits barely on my 10+64gb, so much that I am agresivelly cashing checkpoints to disk instead of keeping them in memory, moved vision from ram to disk too etc, I am sitting at few gigs left RAM and few hundred MB free on gpu.

This is start of "companies are not liable for their actions" era.

I think a lot of people would say that we've been in that era for a while.

Companies can hire big legal departments to help them avoid accountability to the letter and spirit of various laws. The state can also use its prosecutorial discretion or selectivity in civil cases brought by attorneys general to deprioritize accountability for companies. Contributing to that last point, companies contribute campaign funds and tax base, and they lobby governments as well, and may expect preferential treatment based on all of that.

The previous era was "it would be destabilizing to hold this company accountable". This was described in the book The Chickenshit Club

The new era of unaccountability just has a different rationale

Another interesting thing is they don't have to use low level employees as accountability sinks anymore (ex: Wells Fargo). They've managed to automate the accountability sink!

I didn't think I heard about that book; I would think my media diet and bubble would have alerted me. I looked it up and it came out a few weeks before one of my kids was born, so being busy back then would probably explain it.

I will add it to my list. Thanks.

I'd go further. Companies can hire minimal legal departments and largely avoid accountability, at least when they're not going against companies with large departments. Because there's nobody there to listen to your case or to enforce the laws if there are, they just say no or ignore.

The start? This has been going on for as long as I can recall. ExxonMobil, Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds, Nestle, Purdue Pharma, Monsanto, Johnson and Johnson, Volkswagen, Meta, Boeing... and those are just off the top of my head. Each of these companies was either caught red handed, convicted (in court or in public opinion) and walked away with little to no penalty for their crimes.

This isn't the start of anything. We've been living in the era of Corporate non-liability for decades.

Huh. Well then I guess we aren't liable for our interactions with them in return, right?

nice try! more like "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Guess which side most of us are on. Go on -take a guess!

i mean...were they really liable before this point? Maybe they get a symbolic pittance of a settlement or fine from time to time, but it is usually a tiny fraction of the amount of money they made through the infraction itself.

If they were being held liable they would have never released the models into the wild, not until they had much much better understanding both of how they operated but also how to operate them...

They have never understood what they are doing, and have just been causing literal mayhem...

I want my ai to be as cold as possible. I dont want a friend, I want a tool. I dont want my tool to pretend it has emotions.

Like when Miller in The Expanse talk to phone AI (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SC3bpJmGnPo) to trace Anubis flight, notice how the phone doesnt even reply in words.

Imagine if the phone instead replied with: "Thats a great insight, Anubis really goes there", it would be a joke. We are only tolerating it now because everyone is doing it.

Would be good if the hardware itself would get damaged by non-scanning laser before eye would.

What if I see myself writing a message in one minute, and thus I dont need to send that message back in in time for me from the future, coz ive already seen it, so I wont write it down for me in a minute?

First, Don't Panic! and consult your copy of Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.

> How is that relevant for the average buyer

Avg buyer wont read a token of tests before buying whats marketed best.the whole point in test like these is to provide non-average buyer with info average buyer doesnt care for.

Average buyer googles "best cheap zigbee temperature sensor" and reads this article.

Imho u are overestimating average buyer.

And even if they do google for best, Id bet all my m9ney that the truly average buyer wouldnt read 1/10th of that article.

> Large costs of datacenters is largery electricity and floor space

Really? I would guess that those would be almost a rounding error on the price of gpus sitting in there

That too, and software efficiency directly attacks that.
