I integrated the firecrawl MCP in my software (sales copilot, similar to lemlist) The cost is still relatively high for the operations I am running, so if there’s a good cheaper alternative I’d definitely take a look at it. But I also don’t want to impact the quality, especially clean outputs/data h

🔴 How do you identify researchers who are good? [D] — score 81 Sources: reddit/r/MachineLearning

About 10 years ago, I got into the basics of ML (like regression, KNN's, LVQ's) and read a few papers before taking a break a few years back. It feels like now, there's a lot of researchers in AI. How do you identify the ones who are actually solid vs those who (forgive my phrasing) are more researc

Hi locallama community! Yes, I know, yet another AI agent announcement post. There are a dime a dozen out there... most of them though, are vibecoded, often very sloppy, and eat through context like no tomorrow. This is different. This runs beautifully and very fast with local models on modest hardw

🟡 Maybe KV cache offload to RAM isn't bad — score 63 Sources: reddit/r/LocalLLaMA

So, llama.cpp has the -nkvo (--no-kv-offload) option to offload KV cache to RAM instead of VRAM. Many people avoid this because obviously it hurts performance. But every option exists with a trade off. And in my case, I think it's worth it. Hear me out. I'm running Qwen3.6 27B (IQ4_XS) on RTX 5
