Agentic Search surpasses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Teaching an agent to use grep is far more efficient than chunking, embedding and similarity search. #AI www.nicolasbustamante.com/p/the-rag-ob...

Some fun building llama.cpp with ROCm 6.4, ROCm 7.0 RC2 and Vulkan in addition to testing some kv cache quants. Note, don't bother with iq4_nl for k & v , it pushes prompt processing to CPU. Without quantizing kv, ROCm is beating vulkan in my testing. Dolphin-Mistral-24B-Venice-Edition-Q5_K_M.gguf

I spent some time with Gemini CLI today. Made great progress on a local project until I ran out of free Gemini Pro 2.5 requests and it switch me to Gemini Flash. Then it was more hassle fixing the errors it cause... Even the Premium plan is only 1500 a day. #Gemini #Google #SoftwareDevelopment

And how do I know the new GPT-OSS:20B OpenAI model is shit? How about a 20 min conversation where I am unable to convince the model that it is wrong. That my 718 Cayman GT4 is in fact a flat 6 not a flat 4. Hallucinating and arrogant. #GPT-OSS #UnuseableModel
