The article suggests using an old GPU to offload the mmproj component in llama.cpp, which improves speed for multimodal processing without affecting inference, as an alternative to the slow --no-mmproj-offload option.
A request to LLaMA maintainers to implement a feature called 'Hot Expert Reload on GPU' to improve decode speeds for MOE models with moderate active parameters, making them more usable locally with GPUs like the 3090.
FreeToken enables running large AI models like Qwen3.6 35B on limited hardware such as an 8GB GPU by offloading to CPU and RAM, providing a cost-effective solution for edge computing.
Observation that llama.cpp runs slower on P-cores than E-cores when running Mixture of Experts models with GPU+CPU offloading.
