Don't know if I should spend less time coding and more on farming engagement, but either way here's a neat cat simulation.

It's not entirely accurate (still needs to model viscosity and surface tension), but it was more of a stress test anyway, made by a new 1.66 bpw quant of Qwen3.8-Flash-Next running on one RTX 5090; no experts offloaded to the CPU, only vision tower in pinned memory (negligible overhead), and embeddings on disk.

Stable inference throughout, no reasoning loops, just smooth sailing at 200-300 t/s (and a lot of compacting since one 32 GB GPU still doesn't leave a lot of room for context, even with cache quantization).

Is anyone else confused why everyone's all hyped about using "decision models" to solve deterministic problems, instead of leveraging AR models' ability to implement classical algorithms?

I challenge any Jev or Jev-like harness to compete with A* in 80 lines of JavaScript. I get the selling point of "you don't need to write any task-specific code, the decision model just figures it out." But in this case the cost was all up-front: four minutes with Astra-medium, and a one-line prompt. What am I missing?

I doubt I'm the first to notice this, but MiMo-V2.6-Pro seems to have a lot of redundant weights.

If you remove the expert blocks from layers 1 through 12 and the attention blocks from layers 1-4, 6 and 8-11, end-to-end KLD is largely unaffected. Their contribution to the residual is on the order of BF16 rounding errors.

Overall, it looks like you can trim away 17% of the model's ~1T parameters and still end up with largely the same model. That's six whole Qwens.

Is this known, or can anyone confirm?
