What is safetensors? A plain guide to the Hugging Face model file format: why it is safer than pickle, how it compares to GGUF, and how to load or convert it.
Ollama vs vLLM compared: setup, model formats, speed for one user or many, hardware, Mac support and the signs it is time to move from Ollama to vLLM.
Can you run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash locally? Real RAM, VRAM and disk needs by GGUF, Strata on one 12 GB GPU, the llama.cpp PR, vLLM, Ollama and DGX Spark.
Recursive Flint is an Apache 2.0 coding model with 40B total and 2.5B active parameters. How to run Flint locally with Ollama, llama.cpp, rec or Unsloth.
MOSS-Image is an Apache 2.0 open weight 5B text to image model built for text and layouts. How to run MOSS-Image in ComfyUI, file sizes and best settings.
DeepInfer is DeepSeek's open source engine for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. What it does, the hardware it needs, what is missing, and when vLLM or SGLang fits better.
