Autoresearching Apple's "LLM in a Flash" to run Qwen 397B locally
Read OriginalThe article details an experiment by Dan Woods to run the Qwen3.5-397B-A17B MoE model on a 48GB MacBook Pro M3 Max. It leverages Apple's 'LLM in a Flash' paper to stream model weights from SSD, using AI-assisted coding (Claude) for optimization. The project involves quantization and expert routing to achieve usable inference speeds, discussing trade-offs between model size, speed, and output quality.
