alt Hacker News1 bit with a FP16 scale factor every 128 bits. Fascinating that this works so well.
I tried a few things with it. Got it driving Cursor, which in itself was impressive - it handled some tool usage. Via cursor I had it generate a few web page tests.
On a monte carlo simulation of pi, it got the logic correct but failed to build an interface to start the test. Requesting changes mostly worked, but left over some symbols which caused things to fail. Required a bit of manual editing.
Tried a Simon Wilson pelican as well - very abstract, not recognizable at all as a bird or a bicycle.

There doesn't seem to be a demo link on their webpage, so here's a llama.cpp running on my local desktop if people want to try it out. I'll keep this running for a couple hours past this post: https://unfarmable-overaffirmatively-euclid.ngrok-free.dev

As someone whose brain was addled by exposure to art history, I strongly support the suggested pelican on bicycle.
here's the google colab link, https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1EzyAaQ2nwDv_1X0jaC5... since the ngrok like likely got ddosed by the number of individuals coming along
Thanks. Did you need to use Prism's llama.cpp fork to run this?
I reminds me of very early ChatGPT with mostly correct answers but some nonsense. Given its speed, it might be interesting to run it through a 'thinking' phase where it double checks its answers and/or use search grounding which would make it significantly more useful.
The speed is impressive, I wish it could be setup for similar to speculative decoding
man, that is really really quick. What is your desktop setup??? GPU?
thanks, i tested it, failed in strawberry test. qwen 3.5 0.8B with similar size passes it and is far more usable.
wow that was cooler than I expected, curious to embed this for some lightweight semantic workflows now

Thanks for sharing the link to your instance. Was blazing fast in responding. Tried throwing a few things at it with the following results: 1. Generating an R script to take a city and country name and finding it's lat/long and mapping it using ggmaps. Generated a pretty decent script (could be more optimal but impressive for the model size) with warnings about using geojson if possible 2. Generate a latex script to display the gaussian integral equation - generated a (I think) non-standard version using probability distribution functions instead of the general version but still give it points for that. Gave explanations of the formula, parameters as well as instructions on how to compile the script using BASH etc 3. Generate a latex script to display the euler identity equation - this one it nailed.
Strongly agree that the knowledge density is impressive for the being a 1-bit model with such a small size and blazing fast response
