One thing you can also do which is really cool: you can set up pipeline parallelism between that mac and your primary machine over ethernet, and partially load a larger dense model (sadly, only denses) like qwen27B across your multiple machines for linear layer-by-layer processing

1. embrace the madness; self-hosting the devil is a great time 2. I'm doing this too, albeit with more metal. I have my 3090 running 2 contexts of Qwen3.5-9b doing compaction + web/code search subagents for the swift1.5 finetune of Qwen-FN on my twin R9700s 3. those R9700s are still under 2 grand...

stupid question: if you're not running cloud ai, is subagent delegation still an optimal strategy for optimizing/preserving compute resources?

a common response to ”you should probably learn how ai works before making incorrect claims about it. you could use it, or talk to people who do” is “oh, so i should have to do heroin to talk about how it’s dangerous?” and well. drug users do have unique insights about what drug use is like actually

Probably additionally figuring out if the target is also capable of instantiation and also the instantiation itself, if I had to guess.

have you played Quasimorph? You should try Quasimorph. (tl;dr: after the Great Patriotic Anarchist Revolution, the military industrial complex accidentally opens up a portal to *aztec hell* on Venus and you get to be a team of freelance PMC operators profiteering in the literal apocalypse.)

i.e.; I couldn't trust qwen3.6 (not 3.8!) to work unnatended and autonomously and get something close to what I described, but my swift-qwen quant does. hmm...

Frank Blank @frank8465.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
3. quanting qwen-flash-next/a derivative to a mixed precision bf16/fp8/mxfp4 knocks it down a good amount actually in terms of benchmark performance. 4. definitely need to human review my bench code/rubric; the score difference seems too wide; its def better than qwen3.6-27b but scores like it.

Frank Blank @frank8465.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
what i've learned with benching my custom quant at home so far: 1. fuck this takes forever no wonder there aren't any good sites comparing different quants 2. quanting kv to fp8 on qwen-flash-next has no practical effect on code performance ...more...

my personal data point to add: according to "Frank's AA-Lite" (lol I might release that in like a month, basically all of artificial analysis that doesn't depend on third party apis) models including and better than qwen3.8 27B can accurately code on Q8 quanted KV cache. that's double tokens!
