Running massive 30B+ Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models locally usually requires dual RTX 3090/4090s (48GB VRAM) or costly enterprise cloud instances (A100/H100). If you only have an 8GB VRAM consumer GPU or an Apple Silicon Mac, you are usually forced to pay high API token bills or…
Note on numbers: Latency figures in this post are theoretical lower bounds derived from NVIDIA H100 SXM datasheet specifications to illustrate hardware limits, rather than live empirical benchmarks. What a GPU kernel is and how it maps work onto threads; the…
Gemma 4 in Rust on TorchTPU: Hands On With Colab ran the same Rust engine in a Colab notebook. This rig takes it to a TPU VM of its own and keeps it there: The checkpoint is the W4A16 repack xbill9/gemma-4-E2B-it-qat…
This article provides a step by step guide to running Gemma 4 E2B's quantization ladder, BF16 down to Q2_K, on four NVIDIA GPUs with the same nine GGUF files and the same llama.cpp build, and comparing the four cards question by question.
This article provides a step by step guide to running Gemma 4 E2B with the model written in Rust and every operation executed by TorchTPU, on a Colab v5e-1 runtime: one TPU v5e chip. A Rust crate reads the checkpoint, unpacks the 4-bit weights,…

Originally published by Alicia on 2 November 2026 at Digital Garden. Original measurements and limitations are retained. A local Ollama endpoint worked from Houdini 22, but fast VEX replies were often wrong. In 60 frozen trials on an RTX 5070 Ti, Qwen2.5-Coder 7B and 14B each passed…
Genrius AI guide. October 25, 2026, updated November 1, 2026. About 8 minutes. Our 2-bit Pingala-8 build of Qwen3.8-27B (version 2, November 1, 2026) is 8.31 GB and runs fully on one 12 GB laptop GPU at 37.7 tokens/s. WikiText-2 test at context 4096, the first 20 of 72 windows (a time cap on one…
Genrius AI guide. November 1, 2026. About 6 minutes. Our Pingala-8 v2 file of Qwen3.8-27B is 8.31 GB and runs fully on one 12 GB laptop GPU at 37.7 tokens/s. DASH-Q IQ2_XS (8.55 GB) has better quality than ours: WikiText-2 perplexity 6.54 against our 6.89. Q4_K_M, about 17 GB, does not fit. Check your…
