Solution: So after more research it seems that this KHO was recently activated in the latest Ubuntu kernel which zorin is based on. It seems to be for live updates of kernel and whatever but it puts quite a bit of strain on system that requires a lot of memory like AI work load. So I edited my GRuB file to turn it off. I was lucky that somehow my 7.0.0-30 kernel had a bug that disabled the KHO also thank you to Muse Spark AI for able to run all the trace and helped me figuring it out. KHO locked out 2gb of RAM causing my Llama cpp out of memory error. The original post So I been running Zorin OS as my semi daily driver for learning AI and fun. I been plague with odd behavior as I run my AI on knife edge consuming nearly all 16 GB of Ram and 8 GB of VRAM. I found something odd, that my AI would failed to load depending on which kernel. It turn out at least one of the culprit was KHO it somehow ate about 2GB of RAM. I found this because my Kernel 7.0.0-30 and the old 6.17 load my AI just fine but kernel 7.0.0-28 and the latest 7.0.0.-31 always failed to load. Below is the AI analysis that I had it trace issue through my system: - `-30` boot `-2`: `Memory: 15384980K avail / 8261

Benchmarked Muse Glimmer 30B on my RTX 5090 (32GB), 262k context, UD-Q5_K_M + dflash-kquant + mmproj. Workload Stock master + DFlash ngram-simple PR #26842 + DFlash Code patch 78 t/s 57 t/s 220-253 t/s Mixed agent turn 77 t/s 68 t/s 188-213 t/s Tool-call JSON 71 t/s 75 t/s 155-181 t/s Heavy reasoning 52 t/s 58 t/s 120-130 t/s PR #26842 moves the DFlash draft argmax from CPU to GPU, which was the bottleneck. I cherry-picked it onto master (it branched before the Muse merge, one conflict to resolve manually) and it builds clean. Code generation now matches Meta's published 233 t/s, which I could not reproduce on stock master. Notes: • ngram-simple loses to DFlash on every coding workload. • Server caps context at the model's metadata context_length, use --override-kv for 262k. • The reasoning budget flags do not work with this template. This is verified: with the budget set to 64, the model still burned 2000+ chars thinking and the budget message never appeared. Leave max_tokens headroom for the reasoning block.

Eleven matched on/off pairs across Gemma 4 and Qwen3.6, holding model, quant, card, corpus and concurrency fixed inside each pair. Speed: 1.65x to 2.54x, every pair. Accuracy: nothing the paired intervals could separate from ordinary run-to-run movement. Muse Glimmer is the one that lost. Meta's matching DFlash drafter made the same 7900 XTX 9% slower, keeping 24.55% of drafted tokens against roughly four in five for the Gemma and Qwen heads. Acceptance fell across the run instead of warming up. Meta's model card reports 3.1x on an RTX 5090, and there are open llama.cpp issues for DFlash on AMD and under Vulkan, so I read it as the backend rather than the model. Acceptance turned out to be a poor predictor of speed. It moved under four points across five models while the multiple nearly doubled. What tracks the multiple is how bandwidth-bound the target is: a heavier quant gains more, and the two mixture-of-experts pairs gained least. Worth knowing before you benchmark anything: -md mtp-head.gguf silently disables speculation. Use -hf REPO:QUANT -hfd REPO, then read speculative from /slots and confirm it is true. Per-pair table, intervals, acceptance counters and the raw predic

Heeeey all! I just completed some fun tests with Muse Glimmer, I thought I'd let you know. In fact, the summary below was written by Muse itself! I ran a 2× DGX Spark cluster and got Meta's day-old Muse Glimmer 30B running the day after release — then pushed its context from the trained 131K all the way to 1M with YaRN, verifying retrieval at every rung. Sharing config + results since the "131,072+" hint in the model card turned out to be very real. Setup • Hardware: 2× NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, 128 GB unified each, ~273 GB/s), ConnectX-7 direct link between them • Engine: llama.cpp master (day-1 muse_glimmer support), built from source with CUDA sm_121 + GGML_RPC • Model: official Muse-Glimmer-30B-GGUF K-Quant-Dynamic (~18.3 GiB) + official mmproj (vision) + official DFlash drafter • Spec decode: --spec-type draft-dflash --spec-draft-n-max 15 (block-diffusion drafter) • Context extension: --rope-scaling yarn --rope-scale <2/4/8> --yarn-orig-ctx 131072 plus --override-kv muse-glimmer.context_length=int:<N> (llama.cpp caps at trained length otherwise) • Yes, we also ran it split across both Sparks with llama.cpp RPC — no reason beyond liking to cluster things for fun.

I noticed on the same hardware that I can get 24 x 128k contexts with muse glimmer (30b q8_0 + mmproj+dflash) only gets me 3x 256k or 6x 128k with qwen. But a straight forward analysis of the architecture suggests to me that qwen's state per token is somewhat smaller than glimmers. So it seems llama.cpp is particularly memory inefficient for the qwen arch. I presume there is an existing issue for this, but I couldn't find one. What's the deal? The extra concurrency makes a big difference in batched performance.

Muse Glimmer 30B feels significantly more precise and reliable, it almost never drops the ball or breaks rules. However, its designs lack creative depth and richness. Qwen3.6 35B, on the other hand, is prone to more occasional blunders/hallucinations, but its creative output is superior. It generates far richer, more complex voxel worlds and offers higher design quality. LLama.ccp Build Provenance: • Base: llama.cpp upstream (merge 4445f8d, build 661) • CUDA Toolkit 13.1 + MSVC 19.44 + sm_120a-real (native Blackwell PTX) • Flags: GGML_CUDA=ON, GGML_CUDA_FA=ON, GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS=ON, GGML_CUDA_GRAPHS=ON, GGML_NATIVE=OFF • License: MIT (upstream llama.cpp) Do you think Qwen3.6 is still the undisputed king here?

Getting about 22t/s (+3-4t/s) on M5 Pro, using ~24GB including the drafter (provided by Meta). The model did correct tool calls and actually did some useful work inside the Hermes Agent. Moreover, the resulting coding task/project works, which was not the case when running the model with OpenCode. Watch more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmENEolUtM4
