I have been using OpenRouter with, for the most part, DeepSeek v4 Flash . It is a very capable model, dirt-cheap (seems to be heavily subsidized, at $0.14/M tokens input and $0.28/M tokens output), and it works very well when it is… ## [The Dumbest Thing I've Read This Week II: Space Mirrors](http://www.physicsmatt.com/blog/2026/5/10/the-dumbest-thing-ive-read-this-week-ii-space-mirrors) _2026-05-11 · Matthew Buckley · PhysicsMatt's Blog - physicsmatt_ Mirrors in space are a dumb idea. Put that aside for a second. I want to talk about math, and how physicists use math. And why you need to be better at using math as part of your thought process. It's going to touch on some AI stuff, and I want to get across why you need to be more mathematically literate even with all these new tools. Because math and sciences are liberal arts, no less than… ## [Local TTS is getting very capable and accessible](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2026/qwensay/) _2026-04-29 · Toni Sagrista Selles · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ Around 2007 I spent half a year in the University of Aberdeen working on my final year project involving NLP . The project consisted of a series of modules to build an graphical adventure-type game controlled by language input in the form of text. It also featured speech output generated by an early TTS system. To achieve this, we managed to partner with a group at La Salle University that were… ## [Fine-tuning Qwen3.5 for Gaia Sky](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2026/fine-tuning-qwen3.5-gaiasky/) _2026-04-01 · Toni Sagristà Sellés · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ A little over a year ago I set up a local pipeline to use different LLM s to respond to Gaia Sky questions using RAG .

The abridged version of that experience: it was frustrating. Firmware roulette, random errors, camera freezes requiring battery pulls, and auto focus performance that varied wildly between versions. I kept it because it was just good enough, but it never… ## [GGUF quantization guide](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2026/quantization/) _2026-03-04 · Toni Sagristà Sellés · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ I like running my own LLMs locally. Open models are becoming more and more powerful, with exciting releases like the latest Qwen 3.5 family scoring highly in benchmarks even in their smaller variants. This makes managing and running your own models more viable, as it becomes increasingly easy to repurpose old hardware for local inference with progressively better results. For local users and… ## [LM Studio on systemd linger](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2026/lmster-service/) _2026-02-27 · Toni Sagristà Sellés · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ The release of LM Studio 0.4.5 has introduced a much needed feature in this local LLM suite that has it much more attractive with respect to other similar projects.

I’ve seen a few breathless media reports on how AI companies are planning to launch entire datacenters into space. Some of these articles point to a single H100 GPU that was used to train a LLM while in orbit. Obviously, humanity has the capacity to… ## [Google \*unkills\* JPEG XL?](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2025/google-unkills-jpegxl/) _2025-11-28 · Toni Sagrista Selles · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ I’ve written about JPEG XL in the past. First, I noted Google’s move to kill the format in Chromium in favor of the homegrown and inferior AVIF. 1 2 Then, I had a deeper look at the format, and visually compared JPEG XL with AVIF on a handful of images.

Sometimes, these motions are rendered by applying trail effects to light-emitting objects to enhance the faster-than-light velocity sensation. Gaia Sky will get an implementation of motion trails in the next version (3.6.9). Motion trails are a visual effect that stretches… ## [Quadruple joins the fight!](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2025/quadruple-joins-party/) _2025-05-10 · Toni Sagrista Selles · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ A few days ago I wrote about benchmarking arbitrary precision floating-point libraries in Java . I found out that BigDecimal is not as slow as it is said to be, beating Apfloat at the same precision level by a long margin in most operations. However, for Gaia Sky , I don’t need hundreds of significant digits at all. It turns out 27 significant digits are enough to represent the whole… ## [Benchmarking arbitrary precision libraries in Java](https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2025/apfloat-bigdecimal/) _2025-05-07 · Toni Sagrista Selles · Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés_ Edit (2025-05-08): Changed some test parameters and re-run the tests.
