Seeing ads is a skill issue

No, stand firm on not using this fucking garbage. If they don’t want to contact you because their beloved spyware is more important to them than you then so be it.

Honestly, in that case I would buy one. But otherwise this much processing power is just absolutely unwarranted.

Well I do want GrapheneOS on it so they aren’t an option. I just wonder why noone is capitalizing on a ~200 bucks GrapheneOS phone for people like me who don’t need the processing power or even lower-spec models for criminals who literally only have Signal on it. I mean which criminal organization or activist group or whatever wouldn’t buy a box full of sub 200 bucks GrapheneOS phones?

Yes, but like half the SoC power, half the RAM wouldn’t change anything about how I use the phone. It’s just not needed at fucking all, waste of money. I’d rather have even more battery life lmao

Damn I guess most of us didn’t know that, thank you for sharing.

Honestly, I’d replace this fuckass Google device in a heartbeat, but I will never in my life understand why people want flagship phones. I got a b-ware 9a for 300 bucks and even this one is way overkill for what I want in a phone. Why can’t there just be a low-spec one instead of ones that cost more than an entry class laptop?

I feel like you definitely can get away with as much as even 5, but if you actually look at the CLI, it will tell you how many draft tokens actually got accepted. In some situations like writing simple text, over 90% of my two draft tokens get accepted so setting it to five would have made it faster. However if you run a task which requires heavy reasoning, even two draft tokens start approaching close to only 60%. Considering Qwen3.8-27B overthinks more than an anxious teenage girl, you should generally with two. If you take my example with the quant dropped to UD-Q5_K_XL with 262K tokens and reasoning low for a task that isn’t actually complex, just long, then go right ahead and let it run with 5.

Edit: excuse the horrendous grammar, I was distracted

I’m using this on Linux, so the first two lines won’t apply to you. Besides that, you are completely right, llama.cpp with the SYCL backend and MTP is the fastest way to run LLMs on Intel Arc GPUs, it’s just braindead people and bots on Reddit repeating the same line while they run a NVIDIA GPU and Ollama.

Huh, my B70 gets peaks of 37 tok/s TG and 800 tok/s PP, what are your settings?

Hey guy it probably feels like magic because you’re completely overselling where we’re at in terms of this kind of technology

It feels like magic because that’s what you are selling.

Man that article gave me so many questions. First, how in over their head is the author? And second, who in their right mind would EVER want that? It’s framed as such an innovative and exciting new thing, meanwhile I’m reading this and have to wonder if these people played Cyberpunk and liked what they saw.
