vforno··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
In the readme you can see benchmark which everyone with different hardware is running Colibrì, and I have to say I've seen great times! I'm always doing more to improve!
vforno··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
I'd love to! Right now I only have a very consumer-grade computer that I've had fun with! We'll see!

What causes problems is the rewriting in this case are only read while writing is the cache! However, I'm working to improve more and more and make some parts lighter!

Antirez is the number one!thanks really thanks!
vforno··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
Thank you so much, it's true! It all started with this spirit!

I'm trying it, really interesting!
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
Thanks to you! I will update the model later to make it more and more optimized but you will see everything you need in the readme.
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
Absolutely yes! With nanoeuler I learned so much by testing every little detail of the project. Every little part you see has been tested and proven several times so that it could be understood and worked.

Yes, because it has many separate kernels instead of aggressive merges like PyTorch (with Torch Compile). Each pass (norm, matmul, residual, RoPE, etc.) launches its own kernel, which increases launch overhead and memory traffic. CuBLAS helps, but it's not enough to compensate.

Hi, in nanoeuler I use cuBLAS (NVIDIA's super-optimized library) for all matrix multiplications, with the tensor cores in TF32 mode. It's the same thing PyTorch uses underneath, so it's very fast. What I've optimized (and will improve even more) and written by hand are the kernels for the other parts (like FlashAttention, which gave a nice 3x speedup), while I've delegated the large matrices to cuBLAS. Training the 116M model on a 4070 runs well and in reasonable times. Compared to PyTorch, it's a bit slower (probably 1.5-2.5x), but nothing dramatic, especially considering it's all done from scratch without a framework and there are no other optimizations that would make it faster. I'm working on it.

Really thanks If you need any help or have any questions I'm here.
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
Hi, thanks for the comment. Nanoeuler is starting as a study and research project that will obviously improve over time. I'll do my best to make the readme and other things more readable. Thank you very much.

Most part of trasformer and sft!
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
Hi, the uploads are one after the other because it was a long, step-by-step research project where I tested the code on another machine. I admit that I'm slowly making up for the commits on all the projects. For Gutenberg and Shakespeare, I admit that they were the best tests I could do, but I'll always improve!
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
Hi, a couple of hours, not too much! Including sft!
vforno··on Show HN: NanoEuler – GPT-2 scale model in pure C/CUDA from scratch
yes yes tested on a 4070 ti 16gb everything worked without problems!

E-mail sent!

Of course I'll write to you right away! Thank you so much!
vforno··on Show HN: PolyCSS – A 3D engine for the DOM (without WebGL)
Very interesting! It also seems very lightweight! But in case of 3D games, do you have any ideas on whether PolyCSS can be used in this area?
vforno··on Show HN: Lavern: an open-source multi-agent legal system (Apache 2.0)
Hi guys really cool project, I create judicex https://github.com/JustVugg/judicex maybe we can help each other to make one big software open source in a law workspace!
vforno··on Show HN: My independent search engine focused on user control
Creating a search engine has always been one of my dreams ever since Sergey and Larry created Google. I've done a couple of experiments but I've noticed that now with AI agents the search is changing a lot. I think it would be interesting if your search engine was a response for agents and maybe agents that help you simplify information from a website. Like not all HTML but taking the most important information. I don't know, it could be interesting. Congrats on the project anyway!
vforno··on Show HN: Haystack – Review the PRs that need human attention
Yes, I think that having the code completely checked by AI is not a good idea, but an AI that says, "Check these," because they are noteworthy. This is my idea of a future where I hope AI is like the movie "Limitless." That is, it supports you in improving yourself and giving you greater capabilities, not in replacing you entirely.
vforno··on Show HN: YouTube MCP, give any AI agent access to YouTube
Really interesting! Using agents with YouTube will be incredible. Have you thought about using an accessible CLI in addition to MCP?
