Local Hardware Runs Giants as AI Agents Redefine Creativity

• Kolibri uses a sparse architecture with 78B total parameters but only activates approximately 3B per token, positioning it on the Pareto frontier for quality versus serving cost in both English and German.
• The model was trained on 768 NVIDIA B200 GPUs over 21 days, processing over 200 trillion raw tokens down to 20 trillion for pre-training, with an automated pipeline that successfully handled hardware failures without manual intervention.
• German comprises 21.3% of the pre-training data (~4.3T tokens), achieved by retuning filtering pipelines for organic web text and rephrasing existing documents rather than relying heavily on machine translation.
• Through its in-house Merlin-Arthur protocol and dedicated abstention training, the model achieves a 44% non-hallucination rate on the AA-Omniscience benchmark and a verified grounding score of 0.23.
• The model supports four distinct reasoning effort levels (none, low, medium, high), allowing users to dynamically trade compute and latency against answer quality during inference.

The paper explains absolutely everything as if it was a tutorial "how to made your own modern agentic LLM". They even tell how they made their dataset. https://aleph-alpha.com/downloads/tech-report.pdf ; It's the first time I see this level of openness.

His point about regulation and innovation is great and I wish more people thought like that.

One of humanity's biggest problems here is we don't know how to do moderation.

We have two modes. One is a brick taped to the accelerator and damn all consequences, driven by national pride or corporate greed or egos. The other is a brick taped to the brake driven by histrionic doomers and anti-everything pessimists.

The extremes are loud and fit in a tweet. Nuance is quiet and contemplative and usually requires an essay or a book. It's also dynamic. Nuanced positions evolve over time as new things are learned. Extremes tend to be fixed and rigid. All this, I think, gives them higher memetic fitness in the discourse.

I don't think this is new. Look at nuclear power, a largely pre-Internet example. You had pro nukes who minimized and hand waved away any risk and anti nukes that wanted it utterly outlawed. Nobody said "hey this is a great zero carbon source of energy but we really need to think it through carefully and manage it well." Or if they did they were drowned out by the loud screaming extremes.

I'm not super impressed, at least in English. I asked:

What is the canonical interpretation of the song 'Glass Flowers' by Armand Uso? (A made-up song and name) And received:

"Glass Flowers" by Armand Uso, a track from the 1978 album The Art of Falling in Love, is generally understood as a melodic reflection on the fragility and impermanence of love. [...] I saw similar responses for other questions. Qwen3.8-27B correctly refused without web search.

• The engine splits the model's workload across four hardware components, keeping the most frequently used experts on the GPU, storing all experts in system RAM, using the CPU to process the rest, and relying on an SSD for a large lookup table.
• A lightweight helper model predicts upcoming words while the main model verifies them in parallel, reducing response latency by 1.6 to 1.8 times without sacrificing accuracy.
• On a 12GB VRAM RTX 5070 paired with a Ryzen 5 7600, quantized versions of the model generate text at 53 to 94 tokens per second while processing 32K-token prompts at over 1,100 tokens per second.
• Users can select from multiple quantization levels and specialized variants like the code-focused Coder model, with the installer automatically recommending a size based on available system RAM thresholds (32GB, 48GB, 64GB, or 96GB+).
• Strata exposes a local OpenAI-compatible API at http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1 and supports Anthropic's endpoint format, allowing third-party coding agents and CLI tools to interact with the locally hosted model without sending data externally.

I'm a little skeptical of going below 4-bit quants due to the potential for significant degradation in quality. I'm running 4-bit quants on an RTX Pro 6000 rented for approximately $1/hour and getting about 1.2 million tokens out and 40 million tokens in per hour with caching. The quality of 4-bit quant is good enough for difficult but well-scoped coding tasks.

• Video scene segmentation uses a configurable preset system ranging from "Eco" (60 seconds per point, 4–32 segments) to "Ultra Pro" (2.5 seconds per point, up to 2048 segments), with a noise gate that caps each video at 3 scenes to avoid false matches.
• The OCR engine can reconstruct fragmented or obfuscated email addresses, handling cases like split TLDs, comma-for-dot noise, and dictated formats without relying on vision models.
• Dialogue search tiers exact spoken words using Whisper transcripts in three strict formats: contiguous phrases in one utterance, all words within an ≤8-second window, or all words spoken anywhere in the same video file.
• Switching between the four supported vision models triggers background re-embedding, with CPU inference speeds ranging from ~50ms to ~570ms per image depending on the selected model.
• The opt-in LLM chat feature runs a llama.cpp sidecar bound to loopback, drawing exclusively from pre-extracted evidence like dialogue lines, OCR text, and filenames, while offering Qwen3 1.7B (~1.1GB) and Llama 3.2 3B (~2GB) as downloadable model options.

Since this is for the mac you really should be using apple's vision framework for OCR. It smokes tesseract in both speed and accuracy.

Edit: I'm curious which LLM was used to generate the code. I fed the title of your post to claude/deepseek/qwen/codex asking to recommend a stack for this project, expecting to frown thinking that they still recommend tesseract. However, I found that they all recommend apple's vision framework. In fact the latest model to recommend Tesseract is gpt-4.1.

Mostly unrelated but fun thing I discovered earlier this year with Apple's vision - if you have text both correctly oriented and upside down in the same image, it likes to interpret the upside down text as a Cyrillic alphabet.

If anyone's interested, I got around it by splitting the text at a point and unrolling it into a straight line before running OCR on it.

• AI systems effectively internalize representations from millions of math papers, allowing them to cheaply test combinations of results that would take humans decades to survey.
• Automated theorem proving has only yielded one widely accepted novel result in its entire history: Wolfram's 2000 discovery of the minimal axiom system for Boolean algebra, which produced a 26-year-old proof that remains unconnected to human-level mathematical narrative.
• The process of autoformalization is vulnerable to technical cheating, where an AI finds a squirrely, technically correct interpretation of a problem that satisfies a proof assistant but misses the mathematician's actual intent.
• Wolfram is currently extending the Wolfram Language to natively represent pure math constructs like sheaves, Lie groups, and Clifford algebras, aiming to create a precise computational notation that humans and AIs can use to formalize research.
• New mathematical concepts require a gradual societal consensus to become useful building blocks, as finite human minds can only process a limited lexicon of abstractions regardless of how many an AI could theoretically generate.

The desperately needed TL;DR is that perhaps the actual mathematics itself (i.e. proofs, calculations, etc.) can be done by AI, but why we do it and deciding which problems to solve can only be done by AI. Therefore mathematician do maths.

back in 1988, when we first introduced Mathematica, there was also some of the same kind of talk about math being taken over, and made pointless. Of course that's not how it worked out at all.

Makes sense.

For me, its greatest use in mathematical pursuits has been its ability in effect to thematically mine the knowledgebase of human mathematics. ... Modern AI is, first and foremost, a way of leveraging the existing corpus of human knowledge.

AI is more a database of knowledge (stolen knowledge but let's leave that discussion asside) than a thinking machine. You can query a compressed version of millions of books.

That is very useful. (Are we already StarTrek-communists?

generating useful mathematics is a much more exacting activity than generating language.

This is something that most people forget. Generative AI is mostly LLMs, and they are chatbots not mathbots.

It's a frustrating feature of modern times that someone like me gets sent many AI-generated documents every day that have the "statistical texture" of math papers, but that one at least expects have a very low probability of being meaningfully correct

And here is the trick. A million monkeys with a million typewriters may write a Shakespeare masterpiece. But they would not be able to differentiate it from garbage text.

So, yes, there's every reason to expect a bright future—now with some additional help from AI—for that most rarefied of human pursuits: research in pure mathematics.

Happy to hear that.

I've been using AI tools for math research for a while now. The reality is mixed. AI is great at helping with computations, finding patterns, and suggesting approaches. But frontier models still struggle at proving small conjecturers despite all the hype about major breakthroughs. It really depends a lot on the prompt, the type of problem, among other factors. But AI does not suddenly make publishing in a journal easier, although it does make it easier to produce papers.

— mathprof (0 replies)

I've had the experience quite a few times now: I try to autoformalize something, and an AI will tell me "I did it; look, the proof checks out!" But, actually, in some sense it cheated: instead of formalizing what I intended, it found a (sometimes very squirrely) way to interpret what I asked so that it could successfully prove it. It's often very hard to tell, though, that this is what happened—not least because the formalized versions of things (say as expressed in popular proof assistant systems) tend to be very low level, very verbose and very hard for us humans to understand.

This has largely been my experience in programming, too. Often when given a broad objective within an existing code base, even the frontier models seem to stand up a half dozen tests proving compliance and then add 3 new branches solving for those specific tests alone. My best guess is that our code base is quite far out of the distribution (and not for just good reasons). The agents are thus reduced to these tactics rather than extending and refactoring well known abstractions.

• Homa divides messages into an unscheduled portion sent immediately and a scheduled portion that requires explicit GRANT packets from the receiver.
• The approach works because per-packet processing overhead in hardware switches is now low compared to per-byte overhead.
• Ethernet flow control doesn't really fix congestion except in very special cases, as it can cause congestion spreading and bufferbloat.

Homa has been around for a while. Here's the 2018 paper.[1]

The core idea: When a message arrives at the sender's transport module, Homa divides the message into two parts: an initial unscheduled portion (the first RTT bytes), followed by a scheduled portion. The sender transmits the unscheduled bytes immediately, using one or more DATA packets. The scheduled bytes are not transmitted until requested explicitly by the receiver using GRANT packets.

I remember listening to Jane Street's Ron Minsky on their podcast talking about this a few months ago, how TCP becomes the bottleneck in AI clusters.

It is not very efficient, but that wide variety of traffic makes it hard to optimize it since the flow patterns are too dynamic.

• The talk advocates against 'zombie UI' and AI slop, arguing that the pressing issue is a dearth of genuinely good design.
• Rather than scaling up AI-generated content, the talk suggests slowing down and being intentional about every detail.
• The core message is about not losing human judgment while using AI tools, not about scaling artistry itself.

With the caveat that I have not watched the video, the title itself rubs me the wrong way. Intent, quality, and artistry as I understand them are not things intended to "scale." You would not, for instance, as a musician, think "I made an album, yes. But how do I scale up to ten or a hundred albums?" You may well think "How can I scale my audience," but that is a different question entirely and not a matter of intent, quality, or artistry. Scaling art is, to me, a wrongheaded notion to begin with.

If only they could have made the model express these behaviors without needing such strong steering. Unfortunately, it's not like they could have trained it to be that way.

• The repo generates explorable 3D worlds from a single photo in about 5 minutes, including physics, Gaussian splatting, and audio.
• The output uses Gaussian splat rendering, which was visible in the demonstration video showing model wireframes.
• Commenters noted that at a 100x speedup, the process could run in 3 seconds, enabling thousands of interconnected environments to be generated overnight.

This phrase is over!

— u/anycept (107 points · permalink)

A 100x speedup would let this run in 3 seconds. Meaning you could run it thousands of times overnight with interconnected context for massive environments. Been thinking about that sort of thing a lot lately.

It's bewildering to remember that with all of the hullabaloo about data centers (which I don't disagree with), the talk is built around what is assumed to be a massive scale of compute capability being architectured, planned, and constructed currently. Meaning that all of the crazy things that have been achieved at this point have been achieved before the huge wage has even hit the shores. Imagine what's in store when orders of magnitude more power comes online and builds off of what's already been accomplished. It really does feel like we're in the last reasonable "elbow" of the curve. In 2030, the rest of the ride is extremely vertical.

He would be fired if he told the truth:

1. CXMT is a relentless competitor and will pass us and become the #3 memory maker soon, because we aren't expanding as fast as they are.
2. We are highly dependent on AI datacenters keeping demand up. If demand falls because small local models become much smarter, then we are in trouble.
3. I'm telling you that demand will increase as supply increases because that will keep Micron stock up which is my main form of compensation.

• The AI agent navigated by parsing raw server network packets and SQL files rather than using screen capture or visual input.
• It cleared the orc starting zone in 40 minutes with no deaths, demonstrating a level of game understanding and execution.
• Commenters noted the distinction between this and traditional game bots: these AI agents are general-purpose and could potentially play any game, not just ones specifically trained for.

Reading the network packets means pulling the key out of the running client's memory. Warden exists pretty much to catch that sort of stuff so the method is useless. The article doesn't mention how many tokens it used either but can't be very efficient I'd imagine.
AI will make better bots in general though and speed up the process. AI can also help scan and guard against bots better too though. It's all a matter of how you use it
