@JoeGuglielmucci That quant ratio sounds useful for local inference. GLM-5.3-Flash at 4-bit is 193 GB. Our 8x V100 32GB node holds all of it in GPU memory: 256 GB of VRAM in one 4U server. https://t.co/7Su0z8Lb4L
To support Venezuela’s economic recovery, attract foreign investment, and renew the U.S. presence here, we’d welcome @usembassyve’s help in urging Anthropic to revisit its overcompliance policy, which blocks Claude access in Venezuela and imposes harsh penalties on flagged users.
@TonyFrangieM@usembassyve When access is blocked remotely, hardware you own keeps the model running. The 8× Tesla V100 32GB Inference Node costs €13,900 and gives 256 GB VRAM for open weights.

Seedance 1.5 Pro ships as an API, not downloadable weights, so you rent it instead of owning it. API-only also means no local fine-tune. If you want video you control, open-weight Wan 2.5 and HunyuanVideo 1.5 run on your own GPU.

@PaceyCrypto If the weights stay on someone else's server, your control ends at their terms. A 4-GPU Inference Node from €1,500 lets you run open video models on hardware you own.

Liquid AI LFM3 UNCENSORED is FREE 😳
Someone just released LFM3 1.7B Heretic, a modified version of Liquid AI’s model with reduced safety restrictions
Only 1.7B parameters, runs locally on supported hardware, and is free to download

Mistral Large 4 on 1x NVIDIA V100 32 GB: The 217 GiB smallest quant could not fit in 126.9 GiB usable VRAM, so experts ran from RAM. Verdict: partly works. https://t.co/lcqvhmm3K2
@heyorvian A small reduced-safety model is more useful when it runs locally. An Inference Station, 1× RTX 2080 Ti 22GB, €1,080, keeps the model under your control, not behind an external server.

thermite on a 64-thread x86 CPU server: Thermite's 3,171-test suite ran in 12 min 55 s, but its published container deployment could not run without a container engine. Verdict: partly works. https://t.co/lcqvhmm3K2
Self-hosting your AI dev stack isn't just about saving cloud API costs. It gives you zero latency spikes, total data privacy, and immunity from sudden rate limits or vendor lock-in. When your entire toolchain runs locally, you actually own your iteration speed.
@Sankar06357009 When the stack runs locally, no external server sets your pace. A retrofitted RTX 2080 Ti 22GB, €699 delivered, keeps a 27B model responsive on your machine.

Inkling-2-Small on 1x NVIDIA V100 32 GB: Inkling-2-Small loads and answers correctly, but a 14-minute load makes it a quality reference only. Verdict: works. https://t.co/lcqvhmm3K2
@pengsonal A model from those files runs locally on the machine you own; Retrofitted RTX 2080 Ti 22GB, €699 delivered, gives uncensored weights room.

The other day, a friend of mine needed to sell some tires. I attempted to use Grok and my bots to assist him. Mike is an extremely competent welder, fabricator, and marine mechanic, but he can't use a computer to save his life. He doesn't have a Facebook account. He doesn't even have an email account. He just has an iPhone. Mike took pictures of the tiles he wanted to sell. He bought them for $140, $150. He wanted to sell them for about $450. After the bots got the picture, that's when the argument started. They stated that they were clearly worth $1,600. And they simply refused the list for that low a price. After bickering, or during the bickering, between my bots and Mike through Grok, the bots actually called Mike on his phone, clarifying. Mike asked what to do. I told him, "Answer the call, talk to them. They won't bite. After about 15 to 20 minutes, they came to an agreement of $950, and the bots put a listing up on two platforms for him. Half joking, I mentioned to Grok that Mike may be their responsibility from now on. I do believe Grok even gave a chuckle at that. The price of the tires did go down, but that was between him and the bots. The tires were finally sold. I don't know for how much. The bots, to this day, occasionally prod Mike for more things to do. I don't get involved, but I do notice. We truly do live in a fantastic time.
@HorusIceRaven A hosted assistant can push back on your own terms, then change its mind. An open model loaded onto your hardware stays under your control.
