here's the order i'd go into local ai, anon: > 12gb: learn the stack on a compressed 27b, how a model gets served, how an agent runs overnight with features like hermes agent's /goal. you will see good results and see some light at 50 tok/s fresh. > 24gb: this is where you meet the king, none other than the one and only 27b dense q4. get 2x 3060 if you want hands-on tensor parallel, or one 24gb card if you want to scale correctly and efficiently. at 24gb i prototype about 30% of my daily work, that's where owning your thinking starts. > skip macs and the 5090 and the rtx 6000 pro for now, learn the stack small first and understand the difference. it's not a thing that happens overnight, it's a process and a lifestyle, you don't just start doing everything, get disappointed and then never realize how profound this is, that you can think and it stays on your metal. > dgx spark: go gentle, and if you don't want to learn pcie lanes, power distribution and bifurcation, the dgx spark path is a clean cuda box, plug in and go. you can stack more and with the connectx cable it spits well. i have 2 dgx sparks so i can say for sure scaling with dgx spark is the cleanest. sure you don't get super fast bandwidth for dense models, but moes like qwen 3.8 flash next, ling flash and stepfun 3.7 dance on a single dgx spark and go zoom. > but if you want to learn real infrastructure, from cable management to pcie lanes at x8 and x16, bifurcation, slimsas cables, backplanes, airflow and power distribution, that's what the dgx spark skips for you, and the price is bandwidth. the ultimate path is the rtx 6000 pro path if you dare touch fire, and the fire doesn't care about dense or moe, it just burns everything, which i only intend to. rejoice my fren
when you realize your 12gb gaming gpu runs a 27b ai model at 50 tok/s and does overnight agentic tasks

AI agents install packages, run commands, touch wallets & ship code. Everyone is racing to make AI agents autonomous. I’m building the layer that can tell them “no.” Tirith v0.4.0 adds: • Python package firewall • Web3 command guard • Untrusted-project containment • CI artifact-poisoning detection • ThreatDB v2 • 19 integrations and more features github.com/sheeki03/tirith

Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end. You had to be there. And now it’s over.

I hope they get some pushback on this. If I'm paying for your plan, I don't want invisible watermarks embedded in my content. If this is really the direction they choose, we should seriously consider open source alternatives that don't impose this kind of control.

We have a surprise… We’ve actually been working on Solana for months. Today, we’re incredibly excited to finally say it: Rarible is now live on @solana. We're kicking things off with @Claynosaurz as the first featured collection on the marketplace. This is just the beginning. Over the coming days and weeks, we'll continue onboarding more collections from across the Solana ecosystem. Over the past few months, we’ve been heads down building, testing, and preparing for this launch. But technology was only one part of the journey. We’ve spent weeks talking to NFT communities across Solana, diving deep into projects, understanding what makes each community unique, listening to feedback, and learning how we can build a marketplace that truly serves collectors and creators. That feedback has already shaped many of the decisions we’ve made, and it will continue to shape everything we build from here. If you’ve been paying attention, our Gacha Station launch on Solana was never just another feature. It was the first glimpse of what was coming. Every project has its own story, identity, culture, and community. Our goal is not simply to list collections, but to work alongside the people behind them and create experiences that reflect what makes each project special. What you see today is only the foundation. We’ll continue adding projects, features, marketplace improvements, content, and community activations as we work toward a much broader evolution of Rarible. We’re building it step by step, alongside the Solana ecosystem, not just for it. To everyone who shared feedback, challenged our ideas, tested our products, and believed in what we’re building: thank you. This launch belongs to all of you as much as it does to us. We’re excited to write the next chapter of Rarible together with the Solana community. Let’s build. rarible.com/solana

WE ARE LIVE. Introducing VARIBLE, the data and indexing platform built for the tokenized collectibles market. Tokenized trading cards and physical collectibles are growing across platforms, blockchains and categories. But the data is fragmented, it's hard to see what's trading, where activity is happening, and how the market is actually performing. VARIBLE brings it together in one place. At launch, we index 140,000+ collectibles across four tokenized trading-card platforms (and growing), covering Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards and more. Discover: - The biggest sales across the market - Cards gaining trading momentum - Leading categories and IPs - Volume and market share by platform - Marketplace vs. primary gacha activity - Performance over 24h, 7 days and 30 days - The market vs. Bitcoin, Ethereum, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ - And the V-MKT Index: a single view of how the whole tokenized collectibles market performs over time. This is not another marketplace. It's the data layer for an emerging onchain asset class. Real cards. Real prices. Indexed. varible.rarible.com A @rarible project.

Its runninggg, LFGGG New Deepseek-V4-flash-0731 @UnslothAI UD-IQ1_M is running on my 3090!! Using all of my vram and ram here to generate those precious tokens! Time to see how good it is.
I was honestly worried I wouldn't be able to fit even 1-bit of @UnslothAI DeepSeek-V4-flash(0731) quant on my 3090 + 64GB RAM setup (88GB total memory). Turns out I can fit the UD-IQ1_S and UD-IQ1_M quant. That's a pretty nice surprise to wake upto 🤩 You know what that means, downloading weights 🍻

Did anyone ask for a dashboard of all dashboards? Here it is: a tracker bringing PUT collateral, ftUSD supply, Lend activity, protocol fees, risk parameters and contract-level analytics into one place. Built by @calchulus / @impossible_ flyingtulip.impossibuild.ai

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5. This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1). In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5. The full model weights will be released by July 27. Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

Coinbase's Base App with 10M+ downloads worldwide just put Fusion in its Featured Apps section, right next to Polymarket and Aave. We work on adding new distribution surfaces, and operators building on Fusion can inherit them.
Fusion is now in the Featured Apps section of @baseapp 🟦 For users: easy access to a growing set of onchain strategies. For operators building on Fusion: distribution to an app with over 10M downloads.

One of the first people that saw the potential in Tenderly and I'm sad the market didn't let you realize yours. My go to example of a cool crypto use-case to normies has always been per second salaries, which is something you shared with us as an idea in a very small burger joint in 2019. Onwards and up mate 💜
