New TensorFold LLM Model Serving Software Dramatically Improves Decode Speed on Macs and Sparks
by Chris DePuy, 650 Group / September 27, 2026 Two repositories shipped from one maintainer this week and made the same promise in two different places. On September 25 and 26, a developer publishing under the name Ash Hart released TensorFold, a local inference engine for Apple Silicon and NVIDIA GPUs, and Imprint, a tool…

NVIDIA’s Official NVFP4 Checkpoints for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash: Four DGX Sparks Read the Receipts
by Chris DePuy / September 22, 2026 NVIDIA: what the conversion actually changes The DeepSeek checkpoint converts only the ordinary routed experts — projections w1, w2 and w3 across 384 experts in 40 layers — from the source MXFP4 format to NVFP4 weights and activations at group size 16, per the model card; attention, shared…

GLM-5.3-Flash on a Single DGX Spark: Three Community Quantizations Fit Where the Vendor’s Does Not
by Chris DePuy / September 13, 2026 On September 9, NVIDIA published an official NVFP4 quantization of Z.ai’s GLM-5.3-Flash. Its Model Optimizer recipe leaves the key-value cache at FP8 and compresses only the linear layers inside the transformer blocks — the sparse-MoE shared experts and the dense MLP — from 16 bits down to 4,…

GLM-5.3-Flash Day Two: DFlash 2 Attacks the Decode Path While 1M-Context KV Moves Onto Two DGX Sparks
by Chris DePuy / August 28, 2026 A day after Z.ai opened weights on GLM-5.3-Flash, the desk-side community pushed the model past what I thought was its practical limit on small hardware. Two bottlenecks — the decode path and the KV cache — were attacked in parallel, and both moved in the same 24 hours.…
