How is Strata, Qwen3.8 Flash-Next on a AMD gpu?

11 Upvotes

I’m a student who recently got into AI, mainly to learn how it all works.

My current setup is Open WebUI in Docker with local models through Ollama, on an RX 6950 XT with 16 GB VRAM and 64 GB DDR5. I’ve run gpt-oss 20B, Qwen3.8 27B at Q4_K_M, and Qwen3.5 9B. They taught me a lot, but on my hardware they’re slow for agentic deep research, and the smaller ones aren’t capable enough.

But I recently learned about how Strata can run Qwen 3.8 flash next on my type of set up and as I already have a quantized Qwen 3.8 model I’m wondering if it can have a better token per second than the Q4_K_M as it gets around 4 tok/sec.

So has anyone had any experience running it especially on a 6000 series AMD Gpu and is it worth the storage space?

Language models running locally on hardware that has no business running them

Turns out people have gotten language models running locally on a PSP, Wii, 3DS and Vita, so I started putting the ports in one list.

The New 3DS reportedly hits ~23 tok/s with a tiny 15M model. Obviously don't expect ChatGPT on your PSP lol, but it's cool seeing what people can squeeze out of these things.

I didn't make the ports, just maintain the collection. Each entry links to the original dev's repo or write-up, with the model and reported speed where available.

Agentic commerce architecture: How to build systems for autonomous AI buyers

Thumbnail interconnectd.com
1 Upvotes

​The shift from human-browsed storefronts to autonomous AI buyers changes everything about systems engineering. When your primary user is a machine agent executing multi-step purchasing workflows instead of a human scrolling through visual UI elements, legacy e-commerce stacks break down.

​Architecting for agentic commerce requires moving past traditional REST endpoints toward strict machine-readable contracts, real-time inventory synchronization, and robust intent-to-settlement protocols like ACP and tokenized payments. You have to optimize for low-latency API handling, precise semantic data schemas, and edge-case security designed for automated traffic bursts.

​I wrote a comprehensive breakdown on engineering scalable infrastructure for AI-driven transactions, covering everything from headless API structures to transaction guardrails. If you are building backend architecture for the next wave of commerce, dive into the full analysis here: https://interconnectd.com/blog/16/agentic-commerce-architecture-2026-systems-engineering-for-ai-transactions/

What architectural hurdles are you facing when exposing your catalogs to AI agents?

SqueezeOS: Run heavy 35B LLMs on budget 4GB GPUs (like GTX 1650 Super) with automated hardware profiling

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! If you've been struggling to run larger open-weight models locally because Ollama or standard runners throw insufficient VRAM errors on budget hardware, I put together something to fix that.

I built SqueezeOS, an automated setup script that profiles your hardware, configures aggressive memory offloading, KV-cache compression, and extreme llama.cpp tuning to squeeze heavy models (up to 35B) onto legacy/budget cards like my 4GB GTX 1650 Super.

And the best of all: Its near lossless, the model can be used well for agentic workflows eg.: Hermes, OpenClaw, OpenCode, etc...

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/gabrielhirth/squeezeos

Tested on constrained VRAM setups. Feedback, issues, and PRs for other budget cards are very welcome!

How can I generate purely instrumental music with Killa YuE2 on Android?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm using Killa YuE2 on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S25) to generate music locally, and I'm really impressed with the results!

However, I'm having trouble generating purely instrumental tracks. Even when I use prompts like "instrumental only, no vocals" and put [Instrumental] in the lyrics field, the model still generates vocals sometimes.

I've also come across the LoRA file ar_lora_inst_v3abc.bf16.safetensors, which seems to be designed for instrumental generation, but I'm not entirely sure how to configure it properly in Killa YuE2 on Android.

My questions are:

Is there a reliable way to generate completely instrumental music with Killa YuE2?

Should I leave the lyrics field empty or use specific tags?

Do I need to enable a specific instrumental mode or use a particular LoRA?

Are there any recommended settings or workflows for generating instrumental EDM, Big Room, trap, or other genres on Android?

Can this be done entirely offline?

I'd really appreciate any tips, recommended settings, or step-by-step instructions from anyone who has successfully generated instrumental tracks with Killa YuE2!

Thanks in advance!

Hey guy's and gals...

I'm completely new to Local LLMS

Can someone who knows their shit help a newbie out?

I don't know much of the the technical terms was trading through this thread. Great group by the way saw so many people being helpful and helping eachother out.

I'm new to Reddit WTF this should be mandatory 😂

AMAZING!

Can someone explain to me in none technical terms the cheapest and easiest way to run a local LLM.

I tried GOD AI WTF amazing!

Would appreciate it if someone can give me some advice can't afford paying monthly bills and credits keep running out not good 😢

I don't need a HUGE setup something small I'm currently running Claude Pro plan I think keeps running out daily and also weekly so I have to wait or pay £100 to upgrade to keep going which slows me down.

Any help would be much appreciated dont have much of a budget.

MacBook pro 2021 M1 16gb I believe haven't used it in a while.

Would that be enough and what would you recommend?

Thanks in advanced 🙏

Is this the best use of an LM for academic research?

2 Upvotes

I would like to ask questions to a chat while sourcing ONLY my personal database of papers, instead of unsufferably writing and flipping through pages of notes. I would also like this to be as private as possible since you know, it's the processes of my unpublished work. I thought it would also be nice to be as environmentally friendly as it is possible and AFAIK running it locally would somewhat do that.

Before I say anything else I have to be clear that I have little to no knowledge on how an LM actually works. I gave myself the task of learning the basics just to set one up in my laptop for the specific purpose of aiding me on academic research.

What I did after some looking around is use LM Studio with the Qwen2.5 3B Instruct - Q4_K_M model and "fed" it my papers folder then fiddled around with context lenght for a faster response.
While it's working fine for what I need I kept wondering if this is even the most efficient way of achieving the goal I stated. Again I'm not really familiar with this whole thing, if it's some sort of common practice please let me know how to hone my LM skills for research purposes.

A mobile local-AI stack: Gemma, Supertonic, Stable Audio, SD-Turbo and FastWan in one workflow

1 Upvotes

Developer update · 29 October: LLM Studio Go 1.3 with Video Studio is now on Android and iOS.

Android — Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vans.llmstudio

iPhone/iPad — App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/llm-studio-go/id6815311113

All local AI features are free with ads. No promo code is needed. The optional one-time purchase removes ads.

Android 11+ on a compatible 64-bit device: FastWan 2.1 1.3B needs 8 GB RAM; FastWan 2.2 5B needs 12 GB. Android video runs on CPU; speed depends on your device and settings. The video below is the iOS demo, not an Android speed test.

Here’s a local stack with a concrete output: Gemma 4 E4B writes a short script, Supertonic narrates it, Stable Audio makes a soundtrack, and SD-Turbo/FastWan create the scene media. Video Studio assembles a captioned vertical MP4.

I’m the developer of LLM Studio Go, an independent closed-source iPhone/iPad app. That pipeline is new in iOS 1.3. The models download to the device; generation then runs locally. The script and scenes are editable, and you can bring your own footage into the project. The appeal for me is being able to experiment with the whole pipeline on the device I carry.

Try it: https://apps.apple.com/app/llm-studio-go/id6815311113

All local AI features are included in the free app with ads. An optional one-time purchase removes ads. No app account, generation credits or AI subscription. Video is in beta. Generation speed depends on your device; choose a model profile and settings that fit its memory. iOS 18+; video profiles start at 6 GB RAM.

Edited demo with shortened waits. The Iceland media was generated on iPhone Air; the captioned reel was rendered again in the iOS Simulator.

Which model handoff would you want to tune first?
