While its not on the same level, check out the M6. You can remap the side scroll buttons, as well as the two other ones, which gives you four actions.
russianGuy83829··on Benchmarking 15 “E-Waste” GPUs with Modern Workloads
Thank you, looking forward to it.

I just saw this simple patch to enable MTP (potentially 2x performance) on older GPUs (Kepler etc), so maybe it will work for you

https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/25680

Also, for Qwen, the 4 bit _XL quantization seems to have a good balance of performance to size.

That's great. Personally, I'd interested in Qwen3.6-27B and deepseek V4 flash (or pro), with contexts above 60k. They seem to be popular and have good coding performance. I'd appreciate numbers on a single or two GPUs where a quantized version fits reasonably into the VRAM (Qwen in 16 or 24GB). 4 older GPUs approach a used 3090 in price, and the 3090 has better support for speedups like MTP. So cheaper but slower looks like a reasonable target to me.

Have you tried 27B class models like qwen3.6?

Not sure if its intel specific, but for the amd variants you can download an .iso instead of an .exe and boot from that to upgrade. No need for windows

Yes, the page mentioned ISO27001 which is still visible in the indexed duckduckgo result.

russianGuy83829··on AI is not our future
I don't see the mental gymnastics here, the post you linked pretty clearly delineates the differences to AI in the sense it is used today.

As major differences I'd highlight: local and offline, so drawings not sent anywhere trained on artist work with explicit consent

In Krita's case, they claim the AI isn't generative so it doesn't add detail.

Whereas the AI today is trained on stolen work and often on the inputs as well.

russianGuy83829··on 21.2× faster than llama.cpp? plus 40% memory usage reduction
It seems like this can’t run all models, and needs custom ones trained from scratch: “ We introduce two new models: TurboSparse-Mistral-7B and TurboSparse-Mixtral-47B. These models are sparsified versions of Mistral and Mixtral […]. Notbly, our models are trained with just 150B tokens within just 0.1M dollars”.

It remains to be seen how good these custom models are.
