[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

I couldn't keep track of all the local AI tools flying around anymore. New engines, harnesses, tooling, benchmarks... every week.

So I started awesome-local-ai: a list sorted by what you want to do, not by hype.

The twist: it's built for agents too. Point your coding agent at it and ask it to recommend a setup for your hardware.

It's early and DGX Spark-heavy. Help me fill the gaps:

Too soon but also accurate

@ksprashu @NVIDIAAI Careful. They’re addictive. I run four and would be okay with selling a kidney to get four more 😉

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

Found my kind of place at @NVIDIAAI GTC Berlin. Including the (for now) proof-of-concept switch. I counted 2 pairs of 5 ports - so you’d be able to pair up to 10 DGX Spark systems with breakout cables.

@volatilemarkts @sundeep @NVIDIAAI Here you go - more pictures. Had to go and see them myself ❤️

If I say “DGX Station“ three times @digitalix might appear at GTC Berlin 😁

So cool. Blazing fast @vllm_project and @sgl_project deployments coming your way!

[Google Cloud @googlecloud]

Native PyTorch on TPUs is here—and TorchTPU is officially open source.

Train and serve models using the tools you already know: @vllm_project, @sgl_project, @_llm_d_, TorchTitan, @huggingface, and @raydistributed.

@jamesladd @GeoffreyHuntley Appeal always helps because that gives me an appeal id that I can reference and helps the colleagues to find more information quicker!

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

@jamesladd @GeoffreyHuntley Hi James, I don’t know if I’ll be helpful but I can try. I’m on the go today, so would you mind sending me a DM with details?

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

@LyalinDotCom @IamEmily2050 @OfficialLoganK And my axe. Erm keyboard.

I'm the Chief of LLM cycling aerodynamics and my work is paying dividends 🥸🤡😅

Gemini 4 Carbon checkpoint in Arena vs. Argon vs. GPT-6 Astra

>Carbon is already better than Argon
>GPT-6 Astra is starting to look outdated.

@ashxhart Where can I join the queue? I am also happy to fit two into my home if that helps with spare inventory

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

@ivanfioravanti I hope to see it at GTC today and will take pictures 😂

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

@ADLXBT @NVIDIAAI @GoogleCloudTech In this case the Google Cloud Hub is a physical space in the context of GTC with really nice programming and great coffee 😁

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

Had a blast at @NVIDIAAI GTC today in Berlin. I spent a good chunk of the day at the @GoogleCloudTech Hub just across the street of Station F to meet builders from across the region and will be at the conference for most of tomorrow, too!

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

@DevOpsAndBeyond I came to the same conclusion with bifrost. Right now I use a version of LiteLLM that is considered safe but I’m also inclined to build my own gateway.

[Tim Messerschmidt @SeraAndroid]

Running LiteLLM? Check which version you run asap.

[Aikido @AikidoSecurity]

❗️LiteLLM was compromised (Again). The latest version 1.107.0 contains an infostealer and RAT.

All 7 compiled wheels are backdoored. Anyone who ran pip install litellm==1.107.0 on any platform should assume credentials are compromised.

More details soon!
