>>106142992
>>106142994
These but unironically except said in a less gay way.

anons, this might not be the best thing ever
but its such a major improvement compared to nemo or mistral small, q3 btw, GLM4 instruct/context from ST and 0.6temp 0.05minp
for the stupid inputs i give in the model, im very pleasantly surprised and i am declaring that
local is back

So Vramlets and kekditors are coping with the new Qwem image model because they cannot run it? The same faggots that praised JudenAi for their sloppa yellow image generation with o4? Impressive! If is not a clud corpo regular mutt shit, they wont generate any hype.

Are ggufs working?

>>106143040
imagen was already solved with sdxl and its finetunes
there isn't really a point to making more of those models if it's not an llm that can also natively generate images

Surely, this is just Q3 being Q3...

No image input is a deal breaker for me. It's an integral part of how I RP with the models now. It's also fun to add them to model outputs, gaslighting the model into thinking it's the one sending images.

>>106143071
just wait until glm hits you with the triple lip biting in a single reply

>>106143070
Not him, but I think the size is really going to hurt it by making it prohibitively expensive to finetune or make loras for.

What were they thinking?

rocBLAS error: Cannot read /opt/rocm/lib/rocblas/library/TensileLibrary.dat: Illegal seek for GPU arch : gfx1032

WTF, did I luck out on the one videocard that is not supported? ROCm is retarded, and Vulkan just werks.

>>106143057
this. multimodal or bust.

>>106143097
Yeah, dumb labs releasing only half of what they actually talk about in their paper should be fined or at least met with massive derision

>>106143103
just force set arch to 1100 or whatever and it'll probably work fine

>>106143115

then nobody will use their models considering there's a million tutorials already for flux and sdxl

>>106143103
Using the environment variable HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0 will treat it as a GFX1030 card (same arch as the W6800 which is well-supported)

>>106143135
But I haven't recovered from its last humiliation

With GLM4.5 being as good as it is at like 350B, I wonder what the next 700B-class model will look like. Surely V4/R2 will deliver.

>>106143195
This causes koboldcpp to crash with ROCm error: invalid device function

I'll just stick to my Vulkan, bros.

>>106143230
>Surely V4/R2 will deliver.
DeepSeek is dead. One hit wonder the world is already quickly forgetting.

>>106143040
I'm just tired of diffusionshit, I'm tired of prompt bleeding and never being able to get what I want because the model sees my prompt as an indistinct bundle of words and it just spews nonsense onto the canvas. I'm tired of doing 1girl portraits or basic booru tag mashups because that's all these models can do reliably.

when i see this i realize why nvidia has such a death grip on the market
i know i know, unofficial support
but damn
cuda 12 supports gtx 900 and maybe 800 still..

>>106143234
>one hit wonder
Nah they were the top model back with DeepSeek V2 too, it was just that nobody implemented MLA locally or knew how to run MoE models well yet so it was slept on.

>>106143243
IIRC when I had gtx 900 era nvidia card, CUDA was also a massive bitch to setup and run.

>>106143243
meanwhile with NVIDIA:
Recently I tried running LLMs on an NVIDIA GT 640 2GB.
I first took a look at the highest cuda version my gpu supports, the gpu wasn't in databases and there were three possible cuda compatability levels: 3.5, 3.0, 2.1.
This meant the latest cuda version I could run if lucky was 10.2, llama.cpp deprecated cuda 10.2 in 2023 so I had to roll back.
I hit a roadblock. I wasn't able to install cuda 10.2 on a modern OS because it needed older libraries.
I had to make an oldoldstable chroot, but then I had to somehow link the chroot drivers with my main OS drivers. To add to the burden I wasn't able to use the official NVIDIA installation .run file because the gpu wasn't being detected. I wrote my own script to extract the NVIDIA driver manually into install directories. After 3 days of extra troubleshooting I was able to install cuda 10.2 on linux mint 21.
Next problem was finding a model small enough to run on my gpu, I picked https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v0.3-GGUF/blob/main/tinyllama-1.1b-chat-v0.3.Q2_K.gguf so that I would be 100% compute bound. I had to make some modifications to llama.cpp because I was still having issues. All the info, patches are available on the following GitHub repository:
https://github.com/jano403/nvidia-driver-chroot-script
to properly read the readme.md You should cat it instead of reading it from the github repo.
Performance:
GT 640 2GB tinyllama q2: 3t/s gen speed
CPU with shitty ddr3 ram same model: 10t/s gen speed

thats 10 years ago, damn im old now

>>106143040
Qwen-Image is literally just a bigger diffusion model. It's obviously better since it has double the params of flux but fails to capitalize on the benefits of native 2-way multimodality.
4o, o3 and o4 mini and Gemini pro all benefit from genuine contextual understanding with regards to images. So while from an artistic standpoint they are a little mid, they are great for when your use case calls for something specific or a specific change to be made to an image. It also takes way less handholding. Less misunderstandings = less time spent massaging prompts and regenning
Case in point (pic rel)
And presumably quality and artistic merit will eventually catch up to diffusion, it's literally a first generation technology at this point.
Diffusion is matured already and all you can do is upscale and that has diminishing returns.
Qwen isn't twice as good as flux. Maybe like 30% better for double the footprint.

Is Qwen-Image finally the imgen model for the 48GB on a single card niche?

>>106143234
Sadly true. Sam giving auto regressive native image-gen away for free more or less killed their momentum..if R2 releases without it they're basically done.

V4 is a 1.8T dense model.

>>106143312
I have a 10-year old laptop with GF108 somewhere in the closet...
>OpenCL version 1.1 and CUDA 2.1 can be used

>>106143410
I would shit myself laughing if the lab that essentially forced everyone's hand to jump on MoE went back to dense for their next big release.

>>106143313
you do not need a llm transformer architecture for what you describe
pic related was done with flux kontext
also if you know how to handle inpainting image editing was never an issue with image models
replacing an article of clothing is one of the least challenging image transformation you could do, not much of an example

>>106143097
>>106143121
It's built on top of Qwen2.5-VL. Maybe someone will unlock it like Anole if Qwen wants to be a dick about it.

>>106143449
They said they do plan to release the image editing model eventually.

>>106143313
>Qwen-Image is literally just a bigger diffusion model
It's a hybrid architecture ( Multimodal Diffusion Transformer ) same as Flux.

>>106143415
no anon! cuda 2.1 compute compatability!
that means you can use ... cuda 8

>>106143443
Did you use the same vague prompt?

>>106143449
>if Qwen wants to be a dick about it.
the sense of entitlement is overwhelming
when people have SOTA level material they have good reasons to not want to release open weights
nobody has ever released a true sota llm either
people who think deepseek is sota have never used claude or gemini 2.5 for programming

>>106143488
I had to be a bit more precise about what needed to be changed, my prompt was "replace the birthday hat on the black cat with a cowboy hat"
your original prompt would have the model do something like piling the cowboy hat on top of the previous hat
still I don't think the model is worse for having to tell it that something needs to disappear in the place where you want it to paint something else

>>106143453

>>106143198
Gemma 3 did really separate the promptlets from the prompting-capable. Hopefully next version will be simpler to use and not be even more cucked by default, although Gemma-3n seemed to have dialed back things a bit.

those would be on the GPU since they don't match the pattern.
Alright, dope.

>>106143753
>separate the promptlets from the prompting-capable
No. It highlighted retarded people with no standards. You can't prompt away how deeply cucked gemma is. And it will always move things towards safety because that is all it can do.

>>106143826
This is my experience.
I eventually managed to prompt away most of the safety shit, but all that was left was terribly dry dialog and rushed pacing since it couldn't conjure up enough detail for anything NSFW.
It couldn't even come up with good innuendo.

>>106143826
promptlet detected

>>106143826
"prompting" is such a stupid meme
it's a fucking text model, you give it text and it replies. there's no depth to it

So, <think> prefils that make the model write a report about the character and the chat history is essentially an attention hack yeah?
Like slapping the thing and telling to think by itself what the fuck it should be paying attention to.
How hard is it to run ruler with a custom prefil?
I guess I could just add it to the JINJA template to make it client agnostic?

oh... oh THIS is what you guys meant by llama.cpp getting bloated. it's been so long since I bothered to compile, and i thought it was just usual whining. maybe i'll stick with the binary and just not think about it. yeah...

>>106144064
Wasn't listed when I was downloading an hour or so ago, hopefully it isn't as much of a bitch as q4m was

i think glm 4.5 air can be salvaged, maybe my settings are just shit but its uncensored enough and pretty nice
its a new taste for sure

>>106144126
nevermind all of this shit was in the character card including the cringe brainrot schizo weebo style i guess
glm is actually doing a good job

>>106144019
Air is surprisingly good. I accidentally used it for a bit instead of the big one over openrouter and I didn't notice until something that requires a big model came up. That was with a card that runs on the model doing a whole bunch of stupid gimmick formatting reliably and Air barely had any trouble pulling it off.
Pretty impressive for a 12b active parameter model.

Hmm

What is mean?

>>106144688
Yes full 4.5. And yes I can confirm the cockbench - it is pretty great so far.

>>106144634
It depends. With Deepseek you got a really significant boost in prompt processing speed over running the standard dynamic quants in llama.cpp. But I think that was because the MLA implementation of llama.cpp is still shit to this day.
I don't think it's that significant for more traditional MoE models.

I made something like this so it works on non-reasoning models. Then used text parser to just show what's in summary block.
"Follow these steps before providing your final response. "
"First, analyze the most recent chat message. Then, identify any relevant connections from memories to respond to that message. "
"Second, perform your reasoning inside a <thinking> block. In your reasoning, identify the core activity, the general mood of the chat, and any connections to past events from memory. "
"Finally, synthesize your reasoning into a natural, cohesive summary sentences inside a <summary> block. "

Lol.

>>106143231
You should be using the special version if you are running koboldcpp for ROCm support.

Absolutely, it's nailing cards that I needed Claude for. Some annoying slop (Biting lips, etc) aside, it writes decently and has no problem acting creative on the fly or grasping complex situations. It has pretty good trivia knowledge that it utilizes well. It knows restraint and dodges most of the annoying shit Deepseek likes to do.
I'm in my honeymoon phase with it but it feels like a mix of Opus 3 and Claude Sonnet 3.7 at home.

modified this part and rest is glm again
pretty nice, but it ended up being an infinite loop but i stopped it and cropped out a part

With thinking models, I feel like they sometimes forget things that non-thinking handles fine. So that made me think. What if you first generated a non-think reply, and then inserted it as prefill into a think block, making the LLM think it's the first draft?

>>106144817
It's cope.

I haven't seen anyone address this. The Claude models feel like they "get" you sometimes and simply just know what you want without you making it obvious, in a way no other model does. If GLM 4.5 is so good, does it have that characteristic?

MicroMix: Efficient Mixed-Precision Quantization with Microscaling Formats for Large Language Models
https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.02343
>Quantization significantly accelerates inference in large language models (LLMs) by replacing original high-precision matrices with low-precision counterparts. Recent advances in weight-activation quantization have primarily focused on mapping both weights and activations to the INT4 format. Although the new FP4 Tensor Cores in NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture offer up to 4x speedup over FP16, existing INT4-based kernels fail to fully exploit this capability due to mismatched data formats. To bridge this gap, we propose MicroMix, a co-designed mixed-precision quantization algorithm and matrix multiplication kernel based on Microscaling (MX) data formats. Tailored for the Blackwell architecture, the MicroMix kernel supports arbitrary combinations of MXFP4, MXFP6, and MXFP8 channels, and produces BFloat16 outputs. To achieve a favorable trade-off between accuracy and efficiency for each linear layer, we introduce quantization thresholds that identify activation elements where lower-precision formats (MXFP4 or MXFP6) incur excessive quantization error. Our algorithm selectively allocates higher-precision channels to preserve accuracy while maintaining compute efficiency. MicroMix achieves competitive or superior performance across diverse downstream tasks, including zero-shot and few-shot learning, language modeling, code generation, and mathematical reasoning. On both consumer-grade (RTX 5070Ti laptop) and server-grade (RTX 5090) GPUs, our kernel delivers at least 20% faster execution than TensorRT-FP8. Furthermore, when applied to various Llama and Qwen models, MicroMix consistently improves prefill latency and memory efficiency across a range of batch sizes compared to TensorRT baselines.

FastCSP: Accelerated Molecular Crystal Structure Prediction with Universal Model for Atoms
https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.02641
>Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) of molecular crystals plays a central role in applications, such as pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. CSP is challenging and computationally expensive due to the need to explore a large search space with sufficient accuracy to capture energy differences of a few kJ/mol between polymorphs. Dispersion-inclusive density functional theory (DFT) provides the required accuracy but its computational cost is impractical for a large number of putative structures. We introduce FastCSP, an open-source, high-throughput CSP workflow based on machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs). FastCSP combines random structure generation using Genarris 3.0 with geometry relaxation and free energy calculations powered entirely by the Universal Model for Atoms (UMA) MLIP. We benchmark FastCSP on a curated set of 28 mostly rigid molecules, demonstrating that our workflow consistently generates known experimental structures and ranks them within 5 kJ/mol per molecule of the global minimum. Our results demonstrate that universal MLIPs can be used across diverse compounds without requiring system-specific tuning. Moreover, the speed and accuracy afforded by UMA eliminate the need for classical force fields in the early stages of CSP and for final re-ranking with DFT. The open-source release of the entire FastCSP workflow significantly lowers the barrier to accessing CSP. CSP results for a single system can be obtained within hours on tens of modern GPUs, making high-throughput crystal structure prediction feasible for a broad range of scientific applications.

What the fuck kind of name is Omega-Darker-Gaslight_The-Final-Forgotten-Fever-Dream-24B ? Why are models named like this, and is any model with a name that's more than one or two words any good?

>>106145429
I understand the reasoning behind this, but it's useless for current hardware. VRAM is so precious that it's better to spend compute making convoluted shit like codebooks to squeeze out a little less ppl for retard-tier quants like Q3. It's terribly inefficient but still better for actual use.
If your model is small enough to fit comfortably in a fp4/6/8 mix on a consumer gpu, it's already so fast that speed doesn't matter. So this method doesn't really help you.

That makes perfect sense, thank you.

Trying to find what the best uncensored local model is that'll fit on a consumer grade GPU (24GB VRAM), but there's just pages and pages of slop on HuggingFace.

Another new arg added to llamacpp
--n-cpu-moe or -ncmoe
Looks like we don't have to fuck around with regex to balance how many ffn.exp tensors are going on gpu/cpu anymore.
New arg will just keep the first n layers worth of ffn.exp tensors on the GPU and send the rest to CPU.
So
-ot "\.(29|3[0-9]|4[0-9]|5[0-9]|6[0-9])\..*exps.=CPU"
Becomes just
-ncmoe 28
I think. Much simpler.

I've had Gemini 2.5 literally one shot conversion of some CLI tools (cool image processing effects) that were written in rust into javascript self contained web apps, it understood the purpose of the tool perfectly and converted all the relevant function arguments into a sidebar with sliders and checkboxes without needing explicit directions on how to handle UI generation. I am not exaggerating when I say "one shot", it was fully functional after the initial prompt without a single major bug. The only changes I operated were cosmetic, because like all LLMs it still has the occasional hiccup with alignment of text or buttons so I hand tweaked the css.
So far none of the "big" open source models I tested could do anything near that level of result (reusing the same prompt and original source code to convert), DeepSeek's output was plain broken and the same goes for Qwen3 Coder 480 and many other models I tried. Not only was the output functionally broken but the resulting html/css UI was also not exactly the most pleasant aesthetically either. Gemini produced something that looked appealing.
The distance between real SOTA models and local is still larger than the distance between celestial objects.

>>106143707

Huh, so GLM4.5 air doesn't default into thinking mode like the hybrid qwen 3 models did, I can't even see an obvious way to make it think.
I see an enable_thinking in the tool use in template, and the allowances for /no_think, but no simple way to enable it mid chat.

>>106143707
Looking at the changelog for the PTX ISA https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/#changes-in-ptx-isa-version-9-0 the only new features are spilling registers into shared memory instead of VRAM and 32 bit width for the st.bulk instruction.
Register spilling into completely kills performance and should be avoided if possible VRAM, I think spilling into SRAM is still going to be bad.
Maybe a few % speedup for a few ggml kernels like large batch FlashAttention for Pascal (except Pascal is unsupported by CUDA 13).
The 32 bit width for st.bulk is I think a meme since you could previously already use it with a 64 bit width and I don't expect better performance with the 32 bit width (but maybe a bit of flexibility).

So I was looking at -ncmoe backwards, the n is how many layers worth of ffn.exps are getting sent to cpu, not how many are being kept on gpu.
Still, much more convenient than fucking around with regex when dialing in max performance on these new GLM models.

These values are not directly comparable unless Turboderp put in the effort to exactly match the llama.cpp implementation.
Even then, the default context size of llama.cpp PPL is 512 vs. 2048 for ExLlama v3.
A higher context size means that the model has more information to infer what the next token will likely be and result in lower PPL values.

I recall there was a lot of back and forth in all the support pr's about template, I think one of the guys from ZAI even chimed in, might be that the answer is in there for a good manual template.

>>106147992
If you pass all your images through the model *when the user makes a request*, it will be terribly slow, no matter what. And get worse as the image count increases. And i don't think someone with just 100 images will have much need for a program like yours. Someone will try it with thousands of them.
Smollm has a few small image input models. I doubt it's very good. But i think it'll always be better to just index and save the description of the images in a db and query that instead.

Because you said searching with natural language. As in "Are there/is there {user query} in this image?". If you're running the model before hand, then you just end up searching for keywords.

>>106148177
1. Not me. 2. You don't need to do more than tagging beforehand to search with natural language. Either just use user's prompt directly to search for tags, or use an LLM to extract tags from user's prompt text, and search for those (if you really want to over-complicate it). His picture looks like it's the former.

Why is it always small things like chat template that prevent using the model on day 1?

>But I just tried to run without it and the tool calling now works, but I can't make it think even with prefill.
Fuck, I messed up, that was actually using --jinja and --chat-template-file which errored out and used chatml as a fallback.
If I don't use --jinja on that quant, tool calling doesn't work and I can't stop it from thinking, unless I prefill with "<think></think>" as suggested by the anon.

Chat template inside ST for text completion doesn't support function calls, which is somewhat critical to me. You have to use chat completion with OAI-like API and make sure the backend supports it. Prefilling with <think></think> worked though.

>>106145443

>>106148165
Sure, but you have to download the model only once. How many types are you willing to download their quants when they inevitably reupload? 3? 4?
You now can do custom quantization as well with llama-quantize. So if you want something closer to the unsloth model, check what quants they used for each tensor and you can replicate it yourself. Check --tensor-type. --output-tensor-type and --token-embedding-type.

that's exactly what I'm doing tho.... The problem is that 5000 images take 4 hours to process on my 6700XT, even if it's a one time thing. I was just wondering if there was a better or smaller model to describe images faster. I mean there's always the choice of using the small version of Florence 2, right now I'm using the large model.

This is probably going to sound completely retarded, but are there any very tiny models I can build an app around for say, a phone or smart glasses? So I can have offline mode.

>Prefilling with <think></think> worked though.
If it insists on thinking (it still can because probability), just like with R1 and Qwens, a single short sentence relevant to your use case between the thinks can subdue it further. Like for RP "<think>I will respond as {{char}}.</think>" or "I will follow {instructions} and output my final response now."

>>106148209
>Sure, but you have to download the model only once
Anon 725gb is a 52 hour download for me, and that's assuming at no point does HF drop packets and shit the bed.
I'd rather take my chances and actually be able to try the model today.

>>106148188
He's gonna end up feeding thousands of descriptions (and of tokens) to a model then. It's going to be slow.
Considering he's talking about making the image model faster (by replacing florence), not a language model, i'd say that's not the problem. Not yet at least.
But his words are more useful. He's the only one that knows how his shit works.

>>106148216
But if it's a one-time setup and then just update every now and then only the new images, i don't think it's that bad. Smaller model is your only chance, really. Different backend is not gonna give you a 100x speedup.

>>106148248

You'd be hard pressed to find a phone from the past few generations that doesn't have 639mb of free memory.

>>106148263
I use pytorch rocm. First the user selects the directory then the program extracts all the images on the directory and subdirectories, it runs them through the model as described in the florence 2 docs, via pytorch, then it stores the image's hash and description in sqlite, for later search.
>>106148260
>But if it's a one-time setup and then just update every now and then only the new images, i don't think it's that bad
I guess that's what I'll do in the end. I got spooked when I tried to run it on my intel igpu laptop that would have required a couple of days of processing to index thousands of images.

Dense models are better for attention because:

>Every token sees all parameters Consistent semantic understanding
>No routing decisions Information stays coherent across the entire context
>Uniform attention patterns Better at finding implicit/latent connections

MoE Models - Attention Challenges:

>Different experts process different tokens The "needle" and "question" might be handled by completely different experts who don't share representations
>Routing inconsistency Related information can get split across non-communicating experts
>Fragmented understanding Great for specialized tasks, terrible for holistic/implicit reasoning

Think of it like this:

Dense model: One person reading an entire book and understanding all connections
MoE model: Multiple specialists each reading different chapters, then trying to answer questions about themes that span the whole book

For tasks like NoLiMa (finding non-literal associations), you need the "one person who read everything" approach. The MoE's efficiency through specialization becomes a weakness when the task requires seeing the big picture and making implicit connections across the entire context.
Bottom line: MoEs trade consistency for efficiency. This trade-off works great for explicit tasks but fails when you need subtle, context-wide understanding.

>>106148368
I can see the logic, but I've seen much more clever implicit understanding in Qwen 235b than I did in Mistral large 123b.
Just as a recent example, the other night 235b - in a completely unrelated roleplay - added the detail that I had a copy of William Gibson's Neuromancer in my bag.
It wasn't in my character card that I liked that book, or that I even liked reading or cyberpunk fiction, it just fuckin surmised that from how I'd been interacting with the scenario.
And that's one of my favorite books. It got my fuckin number.

>but I've seen much more clever implicit understanding in Qwen 235b than I did in Mistral large 123b
and 30ba3b is a better model than all of the smaller qwen in practice, even though if you were to believe conventional wisdom the dense 14b should be better.. but it's not.
This is the thing that surprised me recently, even smaller MoE can be more useful than previously thought

If you don't care about long context coherence then yes. MoEs are "great and fast".
>>106148402
>I've seen much more clever implicit understanding in Qwen 235b than I did in Mistral large 123b.
Sure you have, try going past 12k tokens then ask {{char}} something from your persona card.

>>106148451
What exactly are we talking about that beats V3 at 12k tokens?

>>106148451
>don't care about long context coherence
Gemini is a MoE (google said as much) and it's the best model on the market for long context coherence, by a very huge margin.
It is, however, most likely a much fatter model than the crap we were given as open weight by various labs.

>>106148444
> 30ba3b is a better model than all of the smaller qwen
excuse me sir do you have a moment to talk about benchmarks?

>>106148379
>less IQ than a monkey

>>106148466
It's likely a transformer-mamba hybrid model. The open Jamba models also have excellent context coherence despite being MoE but that's because they somewhat dodge a fundamental flaw of llms by incorporating mamba.

>>106148451
Large resets to a generic personality after 12K, rephrasing last replies. It can recall something if asked, but it no longer utilizes all that context

>>106148451
>Sure you have, try going past 12k tokens then ask {{char}} something from your persona card.
...I do this regularly?
That's not even a good test, because context gets lost IN THE MIDDLE, and persona cards are kept up the top of context.
I have not experienced worse degradation at high context with Qwen 235 compared to Largestral, except in one singular way: Qwen 3 absolutely refuses to use paragraphs if you let it run away with the single line shit it loves to do.

long context training is expensive
I'm willing to bet the real issue isn't architecture as much as it is people making open weight models not caring to do the amount of training necessary to reach the finish line and those things are probably undertrained in handling large context
people who release open weights are more concerned about looking good on benchmarks and having a lot of "technical reports where I made this model" on their resume
it's not just qwen, deepseek becomes unbearably autistic post 32k and even if moe had some fatal flaw vs dense it really shouldn't behave like that with just that much context stuffed in

>>106148469
Even pajeet can make a website, is that supposed to be impressive?

>>106148469
>People with IQ
>not even a high IQ, just some IQ

>>106148544
Well that's just moving the goal posts, a jeet is worth at least 1.5 monkeys.
And yeah, it is impressive. Less than 700mb in size, anon. That's smaller than some friggin inference engines. It can run on so little electricity and processing power that you could replace all of mumbai's codejeets with a bunch of instances running on a single 4090D.

You you have the ram and it's fast enough to not chug with 12B params running on the CPU, yes.

I have this thinking prefil that i made for gemini that smaller models tend to either ignore, finish way to quickly, or just turn into a jumbled mess that GLM air does beautifully.
On that specific aspect it's very much like Gemini 2.5 flash at home.
Dinally.

This fetches the model. It doesn't do a checkout of the weights, so it doesn't use double the storage. In addition, can resume downloads, verifies the files for you, it's easy to update files if anything changes in the main repo, you can see the history of changes, blablabla...
git clone ${repo}
git -C ${repo} lfs install --local
git -C ${repo} lfs fetch


If there are files you don't want to download, exclude them with
git -C ${repo} config --local lfs.fetchexclude "yourglobhere"


Save this somewhere. It links the regular and lfs files to their respective file in the actual repo. It's a smaller version of the script I typically use. Works fine with ksh. Bash should work just fine. Export dir needs to be in the same FS as the repo.
#export.sh
repo="$1"
output="$2"
mkdir ${output}
repo=$(realpath $repo)
output=$(realpath $output)

git -C ${repo}/ ls-files | while IFS= read ;do
f=$REPLY
mkdir -p "${output}/$(dirname $f)"
ln -s "${repo}/${f}" "${output}/${f}"
done

git -C ${repo}/ lfs ls-files -l | while IFS= read ;do
h=$(echo $REPLY | cut -f 1 -d " " )
f=$(echo $REPLY | cut -f 3 -d " " )
a=$(echo $h | cut -b 1,2 )
b=$(echo $h | cut -b 3,4 )
echo "$a/$b/$h -> $f"

mkdir -p "${output}/$(dirname $f)"
[ -h "${output}/${f}" ] && rm "${output}/${f}"
ln -s "${repo}/.git/lfs/objects/${a}/${b}/${h}" "${output}/${f}"
done


And run like
sh export.sh ${repo} ${repo}_export


Then convert normally from ${repo}_export.

That works if you have lfs installed globally. If that's the case it checks out the lfs files, using double the storage space. Unless that default can be changed. I don't use git much.
