Amy Tobey @renice.bsky.social · 29/09/2026building a megakernel was fun! it's about the same speed as llama.cpp for tokens, while the system 1 reads are about 2x faster, landing around 150ms all that said I should probably whip this whole thing into a shape I can upstream into llama.cpp and vllm 🤔 021

Amy Tobey @renice.bsky.social · 27/09/2026my claudes have set up a locking protocol so they don't swamp the strix halo machine all day again. having 3-4 agents working on different system-1 ideas in parallel is even more compute & memory hungry than rust compiles and those were going too 210
