We've built a coding agent that runs entirely on your own machine. No account. No API key. Your code never leaves the laptop. llmsforall.com/blog/millie-c… Our ternary 35B-A3B model resolves 55.8% of SWE-bench Verified in 9GB — on a 16GB Mac or a gaming PC with 4GB of VRAM. macOS + Linux

used Krea 2 raw to generate these, very impressive, closer to hand drawn than openAI or Gemini

I’m curious, does anyone use Muse to cold call your clients ?

Digging into Jev today, TypeSafe's new "System One" model that skips text generation entirely. You give it app state + a question, it hands back typed decisions & probabilities, not prose. It literally can't hallucinate, because it only ever picks from labels you define upfront, no free text, no room to invent stuff. Also apparently 40-200x faster than frontier LLMs. Here's a table comparing Jev with traditional LLMs:

So me and @benwkrause open sourced a little project called AutoGRAMS to years ago. The AutoGRAMS classifier is Jev. In AutoGRAMS, we implemented a whole load of cool functionalities that are probably unicorns on their own: github.com/autograms/autogra…
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

A full-size AI model running entirely on an iPhone. No internet, no cloud, no data leaving your phone. It beat Bonsai 1-bit on every test we ran, and answers noticeably faster while using less memory. Free on the App Store if you want to try it. Try Millie by LLMs for All on AppStore
We put a 35B ternary LLM on an iPhone—in ~4 GB RAM. Millie beats Bonsai 27B 1-bit across every benchmark we tested, with ~60% faster generation and lower memory use. Works offline. Open weights + runtime Try it on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/millie…

We built the best local coding model you can run fast on a 16GB MacBook 40+ tokens/s, 35B parameters with a ternary quantization, 8.3 GB, 56% on SWE-bench Verified (GPT-4.1 level), fully offline. Tell us what beats it. llmsforall.com/blog/millie-c…

𝗟𝗟𝗠 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴:Adaptation, distillation, and alignment(《大模型定制与微调》) Manning新书,Amit Bahree(G42 Americas CTO,此前在微软Core AI负责Applied AI Engineering)和Weehyong Tok合著。 全书用一个虚构企业的IT help desk贯穿始终,同一个问题在prompting、RAG、LoRA/QLoRA、全量SFT、知识蒸馏、DPO偏好对齐这几种方案里各做一遍,方便直接横向比较。所有实验都能在单张GPU上复现,书里刻意用小模型跑通,作者的说法是技术本身和模型规模无关,企业上大模型时换的只是算力和显存,方法不变。 内容不止有训练,还包括训练数据管道的质量门控和血缘追踪、蒸馏出更小的student模型、以及上线后的漂移检测、金丝雀prompt、回滚流程和安全监控。目标读者是需要把开源大模型落地到具体业务场景、并且要在生产环境里稳定跑起来的ML工程师和MLOps从业者。

Wow, thanks to everyone who pulled a copy, and especially to those who sent feedback. If you're running Millie locally, we'd love to hear what hardware you're on and how it's holding up. I can run it comfortably on my M2 Pro with just 32GB of memory.

Ever wonder how a 7B model fits on a laptop? Quantization — storing each weight in fewer bits. 16-bit: 14 GB 8-bit: 7 GB 4-bit: 3.5 GB Same model, same parameter count, smaller payload. Made a cheat sheet on what that does If you're into running AI locally, let's #connect, I'd like to hear how you're solving this.

Get your first 100 real customers on Reddit and X. Product Hunt mostly rewards founders who pay for visibility, the interest you get there rarely converts.
我决定以后新产品上线再也不发 Product Hunt 了。 大概7年前我非常喜欢逛这个平台,最近刚好想着 Mole 可以去上面 launch 一下,于是就去发了一下,传视频、图片、填了非常多的表单终于好了,结果一进产品页,首先看到的是左边的一个广告卡片说 5k 刀可以帮我把整个 launch 搞定,给我惊呆了,然后在我的产品下面还插入了一个其他产品的横幅广告。 有一个吃了苍蝇的感觉,自己精心准备的发布页,变成了别人卖广告的地方,不过我理解肯定会有预算充足的公司会去买这个服务。 然后我就定好时间去发布了,我甚至还留好下午时间专门看能否有新用户来问问题,我来及时解答,结果搞笑的是发现甚至没有上首页,之前5年前记得发妙言的时候编辑得非常粗糙,都可以进首页时间线。 后面有专业的朋友解答,说没有被官方 feature 导致,需要先上这个,然后去买那种专门的推广团队服务帮你包装,才可以打下来,原来还需要配合平台表演,要去买赞买评论,一下又惊掉我了下巴,怎么一个好好的平台变成了这样。 更让我气的是啥,几乎没有带来产品交流和用户使用反馈的,但是给我这几天带来了将近 50 封陆陆续续的垃圾邮件,大概意思是可以帮助我更好的推广,或者说他们那边也有一个类似的平台让我去上架,到今天都还有垃圾邮件过来,有一种惹了一声腥味的感觉。 所以这个平台是一个看是热闹,但实际没有啥效果的平台,甚至看到有100 刀买 200 个赞就能进工作日前五的服务,当然不会给你带来一个真实的用户。不过他养活了一批帮你做上 Product Hunt Top 热度的团队,从你的描述、包装、封面、视频,到结合点、利益点,一整套方案给你出好,然后你付钱后得到了一种虚假的热闹感,陪着 Product Hunt 表演,产品成了他道具,发布日成了演出日,最后到底有没有吸引到新朋友,好像没人关心。 其实我非常期待,有一个可以给大伙真正友好交流产品的平台,大家来了遇到自己感兴趣的可以标记,可以下载,可以试用,也可以学习其他产品做得好的地方,友好交流,使用完甚至还可以相互给建议,哪儿做得好,哪儿需要改进,类似10年前 GitHub 那种乌托邦的感觉,人们不会关注你的包装和利益点,而是一伙喜欢做产品的人围在一起交流好的东西,让好东西被更多人用上,非常期待有这样的平台,我肯定会去天天逛。 后面就不再发 Product Hunt,当然也不推荐小伙伴们去发这个东西了,发GitHub、 X、发 Youtube、发 V2EX 其实都是非常不错的平台,那儿远比 Product Hunt 纯粹简单。

Looking to #connect with founders in Tech & AI: I grew Psyfy app from 2k users to 30k users in 6 months with organic traffic. Many people ask me what the most effective channel for growth and marketing is. There isn’t one channel that works best for every product, it really depends on your product. If your product is an AI tool for building software, X, Reddit, and Threads may be the place, since that’s where you can connect with a lot of potential customers. If your product is visually appealing to young people, TikTok and Instagram may be the channel. But what matters more is what content you create on whichever platform you use to drive traffic to your product. It has to be very specific. For example, if you have an exercise app, you can film yourself working out every day and post it on TikTok, or you can go to r/running and r/walking on Reddit and show how your app helps people, just don’t over-promote. What matters is your content: you need an interesting script and good product taste. If you can’t do it, you need to hire someone to do it. (Leave more questions in the comments and follow me if you found my experience helpful to you)

Hi guys 👋 Looking to #connect with people who are: Founders Tech & AI Creators with marketing minds Yesterday, many people asked me how we brought 30k users to Psyfy in just a few months with MAINLY organic traffic. The key is: 1. Your product needs to have a market. Many people try hard to promote an immature product that can barely attract users, whether it's the UI or the features. 2. You need to create content that brings users to your product. The content needs to be highly tailored to the platform you're using. That's not something I can explain in a single paragraph, but keep asking me specific questions and I'll answer them in future posts.
