You're probably losing hours every week to work a machine could do for you.
I build those machines — apps & automations that handle the repetitive stuff:
• Businesses: agents that qualify leads, answer support, kill data entry
• You personally: small tools that quietly run your day in the background
My edge: I can build them to run privately on your own hardware — your data never leaves the building.
That's CeliaLabs.
Got a repetitive task — at work or at home? Drop it below and I'll tell you if it's automatable 👇
The honest verdict:
• Building cloud apps or handling high-traffic APIs? NVIDIA & CUDA are still completely unmatched.
• Local research, 100% data privacy, and testing giant 70B–405B models at home? The M5 Ultra + MLX setup is easily the most power-efficient, quiet powerhouse you can get.
Are you sticking with your NVIDIA GPU rigs, or is the new Mac Studio tempting you to switch? Let’s hear what you’re building! 💬
The new Mac Studio M5 Ultra just quietly solved the biggest headache in local AI: running massive 405B models without a giant, power-hungry server rack.
With up to 512GB of Unified Memory and 1.2 TB/s bandwidth, it fits giant models into a single, silent box on your desk.
But can Apple’s MLX actually take on NVIDIA’s CUDA? The reality of hardware vs. software broke down in the replies 👇
Hardware is brute force, but software is the real superpower:
his is where CUDA still rules:
• 15+ years of kernel fusion (FlashAttention-3, CUTLASS, Triton).
• Serving infrastructure like vLLM and SGLang (PagedAttention, chunked prefill, continuous batching).
• Cutting-edge speculative decoding methods (DFlash block-diffusion, DSpark dynamic verification scheduling) are designed around CUDA graphs and async GPU streams.
MLX handles standard Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) and speculative drafting cleanly, but its ecosystem is built for single-tenant research, not high-concurrency production serving.
Everyone is arguing about which model to use.
Meanwhile the teams shipping working agents are spending their time on:
— tool interfaces the model can actually use
— what goes in the context window, and what doesn’t
— error handling and retries
— orchestration and task decomposition
The model is maybe 20% of the outcome. The harness is the rest.
(Until your task horizon gets long. Then the model becomes the ceiling again.)
Open models closed 80% of the gap. I still pay for both.
I deploy local AI for myself and for clients. Privacy work, volume work, anything repetitive — that all runs local now, at zero marginal cost.
But I keep Claude Pro. Not for better answers — for fewer wasted passes on large codebases. Local models make me babysit context, and that babysitting is the real cost.
Gemini Pro I’d cancel. That’s a convenience tax on ecosystem lock-in, not a capability edge.
Buying back hours beats saving $20.
What’s still on your bill — and what’s keeping it there?
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is now live on the DeepSeek API Platform! 🚀
🔹 This experimental multimodal model matches DeepSeek-V4-Flash on text capabilities—including agents, reasoning, and world knowledge.
🔹 On multimodal agent benchmarks, V4-Flash-Vision-Exp makes a major leap over V4-Flash, bringing multimodal agent performance close to Opus-4.8.
Try it with model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'. DeepSeek Harness 0.1.1 was released today with out-of-the-box support for the new model.

Hey @Alibaba_Qwen, the chunky capybaras are cozy on the racks, but our edge devices are starving! 🦫⚡️
When can we get the official smol squad (0.8B, 2B, 4B, 9B)? Let the little guys run free on our laptops! 🚀💻 #Qwen#LocalAI
