Inference time abliteration
Summary
AbliteratedOutTheBox 是一个 llama.cpp 分支,可在推理时对任意加载的模型实时执行 abliteration(去除对齐/拒绝机制),无需微调、无需额外文件,也不占用额外显存。

Apparently you can skip entire transformer blocks at load time with minimal performance impact
A developer implemented a --skip-layers flag for a llama.cpp fork, allowing users to skip entire transformer blocks at load time with minimal performance impact, based on recent papers. This provides another method for fitting large models on limited hardware, complementing quantization and bake-time pruning.
@NFTCPS: 4GB VRAM running 70B large model? It actually works! AirLLM did a clever trick — layered inference, not loading the whole model into VRAM at once, but layer by layer, compute and discard, squeezing the giant into a small GPU. The best part: 100% open source, freebie warning https://github.com/0xSo…
AirLLM is a fully open-source tool that uses layered inference (loading and releasing VRAM layer by layer) to enable 70B large language models to run on GPUs with only 4GB VRAM, without quantization, distillation, or pruning. It already supports running Llama3.1 405B on 8GB VRAM.
@NFTCPS: Attention to those running large models locally! Someone has transformed llama.cpp into a performance beast — BeeLlama.cpp. With the same VRAM, inference speed triples and context capacity expands 7.5x. This isn't a slide deck; it's real benchmark data. It stuffs three top-tier optimizations into one codebase: DFlash speculative decoding…
BeeLlama.cpp is a fork of llama.cpp that integrates DFlash speculative decoding, TurboQuant/TCQ KV-cache compression, and adaptive draft control, achieving up to 3x faster inference and 7.5x context expansion on the same hardware.

Benchmark thread showing Uzu, an open-source inference engine from Mirai, running Qwen3.5-9B at 92.1 tokens/s on a 16GB M5 MacBook Pro — about 4x faster than llama.cpp (22 tok/s) and MLX (25.1 tok/s) — by using tree-based speculative decoding with a Weaver drafter to break the memory-bandwidth ceiling of ordinary local decoding.
