Just a few days ago, I published my article about @nvidiaai's FP4-Local format: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. One thing really stuck with me...

That inspired me. I've been developing my own SAGE-EXL3 process, and I wanted to see just how far I could push the latest DeepSeek Flash release while keeping the results accessible to the community.

I don't want the future of local AI to be determined by who can rent the most GPUs or afford the largest training runs. I want developers, independent researchers and enthusiasts to have the freedom to experiment, quantize, optimize and run powerful models on hardware they actually OWN. NVIDIA's FP4-Local research showed me just how much potential remains in aggressive quantization. My goal with SAGE-EXL3 is to keep pushing that frontier while making advanced quantization more practical for the wider community. Today, I'm sharing the quantized checkpoint and the one-Spark serving recipe. ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—๐—จ๐—ฆ๐—ง ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—•๐—˜๐—š๐—œ๐—ก๐—ก๐—œ๐—ก๐—š. โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ”โ” ๐Ÿงช ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ช ๐—™๐—ข๐—ฅ ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—”๐—Ÿ ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง!

I've put over 3 billion tokens through Gemini Argon in the two weeks since it came out. Now @GoogleDeepMind already has Gemini 4 Carbon, and it's the new #1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 59. That's a crazy pace. It doesn't win everything though. Claude Opus 5.5 still leads their coding agent index, 62 to 59, so "best model" really depends on what you're doing all day. 1M context, text, image, video and speech in, $4/$20 per million tokens with a 50% launch discount. 11% hallucination rate is the number I'll be watching once I'm running it. Can't wait for this one to hit @OpenRouter!!
Googleโ€™s Gemini 4 Carbon is the new #1 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5, and second only to Claude Opus 5.5 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index Gemini 4 Carbon scores 59 on Intelligence Index v5, driven by leading performance in complex reasoning, knowledge, and scientific tasks. It also has large gains in coding and knowledge work, particularly when compared to other Gemini models, but it is not leading in all these areas. As with launch of Gemini 4 Argon, Gemini 4 Carbon is being rolled out to selected users and is not yet publicly available. Google is offering a 50% launch discount, with no confirmed end date. All our charts and figures use standard pricing for both Gemini 4 Carbon and Argon. Key results for Gemini 4 Carbon with high reasoning: โžค Gemini 4 Carbon leads the Intelligence Index v5, with the #1 score in 4 of the 9 Index evaluations: HLE-Diamond, Terminal-Bench-Science, AA-Omniscience, AutomationBench-AA. Carbon makes substantial gains elsewhere but is not leading in coding and knowledge work โžค Behind only Claude Opus 5.5 on coding agents: With Antigravity CLI, Gemini 4 Carbon (high) scores 59 only 3 points behind Claude Code with Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 62) on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index. Carbon ranks second on both Terminal-Bench 4.0 (64%) and FrontierCode v1.1 (51%), behind Claude Opus 5.5 (max) at 56%. Google has historically underperformed in this area and so this improvement stands out โžค Improved agentic knowledge work, but not yet leading: On AA-Briefcase, Gemini 4 Carbon (high) scores 1609 Elo, a 126-point improvement over Gemini 4 Argon (high, 1483), but still behind models including Grok 4.7 (xhigh, 1638), Muse Wonder (max, 1659) and Kimi K3.1 Pro (1678). The largest gain comes from Presentation, up 293 Elo to 1598, alongside a 120-point improvement in Analytical Quality to 1671 โžค Lower Cost per Task than Claude Opus 5.5 for comparable overall intelligence: Gemini 4 Carbon costs $7.76 per Intelligence Index task, ~23% less than Claude Opus 5.5 (max, $10.04) but ~1.2x GPT-6 Astra (max, $6.25). It uses 123k output tokens per task, 29% fewer than Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 173k). At the same $4/$20 standard pricing, its Cost per Task is in line with Gemini 4 Argon ($7.68), while scoring 9 points higher on the Intelligence Index โžค Leading AA-Omniscience v1.1 score, with low hallucination: Gemini 4 Carbon scores 54 on our recently updated AA-Omniscience v1.1, 6 points ahead of Claude Opus 5.5 (max, 48) and 8 points ahead of Gemini 4 Argon (46). Accuracy (% correct) rises 10 points over Argon to 58%, while its hallucination rate rises from 4% to 11%. This is still the second lowest of any model, behind only Argon, compared with 50% for both Claude Opus 5.5 (max) and GPT-6 Astra (max) Key model details: โžค Context Window: 1M tokens โžค Multimodality: Text, image, video, and speech input, with text output โžค Pricing: $4/$20 per 1M input/output tokens, the same as Gemini 4 Argonโ€™s standard pricing, with a 50% discount. Cached input tokens receive a 95% discount ($0.20 per 1M) Congratulations to the @GoogleDeepMind team!

Got pre-release access to Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe from @NVIDIAAI and the speaker identification is the part I love the most!! 30B MoE with only ~4B active, 40 languages, fully open weights, data and recipes. It just took #1 on the Open ASR leaderboard at 5.33 avg WER, ahead of Qwen3-ASR 1.7B and IBM Granite Speech. What I keep thinking about is pairing it with an app like Meetily for local meeting notes. On a GPU that can run it fast, like a DGX Spark, you get transcripts with who said what, and nothing leaves your desk! Theres a demo link where you can test and even upload your own audio for transcribing below!

Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model: - steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions - generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time! - simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics - create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.

Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on one DGX Spark: @MiaAI_lab's TensorFold recipe decodes code at 43.2 tok/s, @ViC305's two-model EXL3 recipe at 58.4 tok/s. Setup: โ€“ Same voxel-world prompt, both as an agent in Qwen Code 0.25.2, one prompt, one try, no help, thinking on โ€“ Context: 262,144 tokens โ€“ Mia's recipe: NVFP4 with MTP on @ashxhart's TensorFold, 5 slots, answer limit 131,072 tokens โ€“ ViC305's recipe: EXL3 3.05 bpw on ExLlamaV3 and TabbyAPI, 1 slot, answer limit 262,144 tokens, MiniCPM 4.7 loaded beside it Mia's recipe, world Aetherfall: โ€“ Decode, code: 43.2 tok/s โ€“ 500 words: about 16.9 s โ€“ 8 requests at once: 87.6 tok/s in total โ€“ Reading a 32K-token prompt: 2,163 tok/s โ€“ Memory at 262,144 tokens of context: 87.01 GiB โ€“ Agent time: 108.6 min โ€“ Browser check: 8.5/10 ViC305's recipe, world AETHERFALL: โ€“ Decode, code: 58.4 tok/s โ€“ 500 words: about 12.6 s โ€“ 8 requests at once: 41.5 tok/s in total โ€“ Reading a 32K-token prompt: 662 tok/s โ€“ Memory with both models loaded, 125,892-token prompt: 87.0 GiB โ€“ Agent time: 60.9 min โ€“ Browser check: 8.5/10 Quality: โ€“ MMLU-Pro: 68.3% against 67.3% โ€“ LiveCodeBench: 62.5% against 65.0% โ€“ GPQA with thinking: 70.0% for both (30 questions, ยฑ 15.6 points) Mia's recipe is the stronger setup for parallel work and long prompts, and I like its world better. ViC305's decodes a single request about 35% faster. Good to know: โ€“ Different quants and engines, and different answer limits, so the agent times do not compare the models alone. โ€“ Mia's 8-at-once total comes from a second Spark. The author's README shows 88.6 tok/s for code; my fixed code prompt is mostly prose. โ€“ ViC305's memory number comes from a test up to a 125,892-token prompt, Mia's from the full 262,144. Play both worlds in your browser. All numbers, the exact command and the raw output: Mia's recipe: niklaslenz.com/v2/qwen38-flaโ€ฆ ViC305's recipe: niklaslenz.com/v2/qwen38-flaโ€ฆ Recipe by @MiaAI_lab on @ashxhart's TensorFold, model by @Alibaba_Qwen.

Amazing work by @wikiwayne ! Im extremely glad to see my EXL3 quants take the top 3! Especially this 1.62bit Deepseek v4.1 Flash EXL3 beating my lossless Qwen Flash Next EXL3!! ๐Ÿ‘€ love the site layout btw great job on testing so many models!!
Ran locally on my GX10: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 1.62 bits (vcruz305 pack) is ranked first of 34 rows on WikiBench. 5.35 out of 10. Coding 7.75, research 9.3. Nobody on the board reaches 6. Did you expect a 1.62-bit quant to lead?

I don't want the future of local AI to be determined by who can rent the most GPUs or afford the largest training runs. I want developers, independent researchers and enthusiasts to have the freedom to experiment, quantize, optimize and run powerful models on hardware they actually OWN. NVIDIA's FP4-Local research showed me just how much potential remains in aggressive quantization. My goal with SAGE-EXL3 is to keep pushing that frontier while making advanced quantization more practical for the wider community.

I don't want the future of local AI to be determined by who can rent the most GPUs or afford the largest training runs. I want developers, independent researchers and enthusiasts to have the freedom to experiment, quantize, optimize and run powerful models on hardware they actually OWN. NVIDIA's FP4-Local research showed me just how much potential remains in aggressive quantization. My goal with SAGE-EXL3 is to keep pushing that frontier while making advanced quantization more practical for the wider community.

With the support of @AWERXAI, I've been working tirelessly to push that vision forward. And now we're seeing a 1.62 bpw expert quant outperform higher-bitrate alternatives on actual tasks, not just token-level fidelity measurements. This doesn't establish mathematical losslessness or superiority on every possible workload. These are matched subsets of nine benchmark suites, not full public leaderboard scores.

Correction, @NVIDIAAI spoken about this! You just need to send them an email asking if this is supported or not and youll get something like what my friend @MarkusEicher70 got back from them: "NVIDIA DOES NOT officially support or recommend manually overriding the GPU clock limits on DGX Spark systems using commands such as: sudo nvidia-smi -lgc" Unless youre seeing extreme performance degredation on your DGX Spark due to high heats and youre also up to date on all updates especially kernel and firmware, then theres zero reason to underclock.
There's a big argument on whether you _should_ cap the clock rates on your DGX Sparks because they are, in theory, supposed to cool themselves to safe levels. NVIDIA doesn't recommend capping them, but they also don't recommend not capping them. Here's my thoughts on this: I have a couple of DGX Sparks that are marginal when running heavy prefill on GLM 5.3. This model pushes the box to the max. I'm not kidding - it jumps from ~47C to 87C in under a minute. During a heavy TP=3 prefill test, one box reliably powers itself off (!) without a clock cap. With a clock cap, it stays on. I have an additional fan moving air over the Sparks. I can add additional cooling, but this is a datapoint where NVIDIA's guidance is, in fact, wrong. Not all DGX Sparks can ramp their fans and/or throttle their own power fast enough to prevent thermal shutdown without a clock cap. 2200 MHz is enough to keep it alive. You know what? I'm happy to give up a small 1-2% gap in peak performance to keep the Sparks alive. Heat over time is one of the silent killer of chips.
