Surprised to learn that vLLM and SGLang don't support all the type formats Blackwell tensor core HW support?! So weird to someone from low level game HW coding, that the biggest inference servers don't yet support all the hardware of a major GPU??

I did a presentation at work (Geometric which I joined a week or so ago) on NV Blackwell as it relates to optimizations for AI. www.linkedin.com/pos... Though I disagree with Fionnán calling me a heavyweight, the camera adds pounds! ;)

Pramodith from Geometric does a deep dive into z.ai's GLM5.1 www.youtube.com/watc...

How seriously do you take performance? If you are serious, add it to your CI. Treat performance regressions as errors. Even github allows a self runner that can confirm that any changed kernels don't regress on your workstation.

1.5GB of VRAM at ~9t/sec for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on RDNA 3.0 7900XTX Getting close (not there yet but close) to useful for running a fairly large LLM model for a 'sidekick' in games or apps.

Most KV cache quantisation is held together by: “perplexity didn’t move much 👍” That’s not a guarantee. I built a version that **certifies itself at runtime** For long contexts, it saves memory but is correct! 1/3

ChatGPT having a bad day! ■ Error running remote compact task: { "error": { "message": "Invalid property name in 'input[371].arguments': ']=大...__(' is too long. Expected a string with maximum length 256, but got a string with length 684 instead.", 1/5

The plausible move on a modern APU: skip the device copy. Host and device share RAM — why pretend? I tried it on an LLM runtime. Got a 2.2× slowdown on a Radeon 890M. Here's what's quietly hiding in the HIP API. 🧵 1/10

Crazy how long tests and benchmarking takes for a AI inference Paper. Its also surprising to me how sensitive the numerics are, any numbers or claims without at least NIMH/RULER/PG-19 should be considered suspect! Paper is coming soon(tm) (last context band!) #AI #Inference

It must be the end of the world I'm writing Tex manually! All the classics: \textbf - make this a boyfriend \textit - text iterator \textasciitilde - cos ~ is too easy \vspace{-6pt} - In case you don't like 50% vertical whitespace

I've decided to remove an item off my bucket list :O Even though I've given talks, written articles, I've never actually submitted a proper academic paper! Its in the ML system area, anybody who is more experienced in these things I'd love some help. DM if you like a draft.

Report where my DotCache paged KV-Cache system is. Its in the benchmark and figure out and then automate page-set phase of development. drive.google.com/fil...

Spiderweb now has proper macOS installer, wizards and helpers, all notarized and signed! github.com/DeanoC/Sp... Now easy to create distributed workspaces (across OSs as well) your agents can use with just mounted folder. Basic distributed venoms (services) also working.

Spiderweb update today: Pretty boring but key function of moving venoms to a seperate repo and having a proper register with channels, packages, hashes and updates. This allows system venoms to evolve and update without updating the main spiderweb server

Argh AMD! How can my 'AI' laptop not run ROCM enough to develop something using Triton or CUDA. WTF was the point putting a 'AI' GPU in it, if you don't support it for your AI development stack? Grumble bloody 890M GPU!

Spiderweb news: - Linux and macOS computer and browser use venoms are in and tested. A single agent can control multiple computers and browsers! - MCP bridge venom turns any sdio MCP into a venom accessible by any agent - Lots of tests and fixs.

Fun little playable CV - playablecv.deanoc.com Vibe coding in the background this week end

Spiderweb needed a new target, so its spinning a thread to MacOS as we speak. In other words bought a Mac-Mini and getting it setup and then we port it.

Spiderweb overnight updates: - SpiderApp (the CLI/GUI client) now supports Windows, Linux and Android (new) - Spiderweb now works with any agent that can use a folder 1/3

I just watched AI port a POSIX-only WASM runtime with JIT to Windows. Time: ~4 hours Result: full CI pass. Codex GPT-5.4 High PR: github.com/clojurewa... We're not talking about autocomplete anymore, AI's are porting real systems code between OSs. #AIcoding #WebAssembly 1/4

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

steamcommunity.com/p... Nice review of Chip'n Clawz vs The Brainoids.

One of the interesting things that AI coding has enabled, is that programming language choice is largely irrelevant. Spiderweb's protocol written in Zig, now has Typescript, Python and Go with Rust coming by tomorrow. PiAi is a zig version of the typescript PiMono AI module #Ai

AI coders have taught me a new word "upsert", I've used the idea for years but never known there is a word for it. Upsert refers to inserting only if not exist else update.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

America will never be forgiven for inflicting Trump on the world. I'm not talking about individual Americans who oppose Trump. I couldn't feel sorrier for them. But America as a polity and a geopolitical entity basically stuck a gun in its own mouth the moment it gave this man power.

#Spiderweb and the Spider ecosystem around it is starting to come together over a busy weekend. I'm describing it as Spider Web is a distributed system where #AI agents share tools, memory, and machines through a filesystem namespace inspired by Plan9.

And they said Prince's Symbol was too much...

Added GPT-5.4 support to ZiggyPiAi (github.com/DeanoC/Zi...). gpt-5.4 with full 1M context gpt-5.4_smallcontext for the 272K path Users can now choose full-context vs smaller-context behavior explicitly by model ID. #zig #ChatGPT #AIAgents

Game Dev trivia: The theme for the 1st Mario movie (Roxette: Almost Unreal) was meant for another movie so much the name of the movie is a key part of the song (Hocus Pocus) but today would be seen as an advert for another game/engine Unreal?! #gametrivia

Couple of short (2 min) Unreal 5 tutorials answering specific questions I was asked: Custom Blockers using Object Types youtu.be/duiRruqG8tQ How to use Nav Links/Proxys youtu.be/ujzuTHgL8xY Short but hopefully sweet and useful

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

**ue5-main (24h): TSR thin-geo stability fix, HWRT cuts RayTracingBuildInstanceBuffer permutations ~50%, Lumen async-visualization crash fixed, and LevelStreaming now FlushAsyncLoading before AddToWorld to prevent visibility-time crashes.**
