Project mention: A weekend with TensorFold on a MacBook: the engine mattered, the quant did not | dev.to | 2026-09-28
Almost none of the fast parts are mine. TensorFold is Ash's work (MIT), and it had shipped five tagged releases in the day before I started. The DFlash2 draft model is z-lab's. The MLX 4-bit weights I tested came from Vontra. What I added is the part LLMKube exists for: getting a Mac-only engine behind a Kubernetes Service, so a Mac is one more inference node in a cluster that also has NVIDIA and AMD boxes in it.

Project mention: Show HN: ZigFormer – An LLM implemented in pure Zig | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-27
Hi everyone,
I've made an early version of ZigFormer, a small LLM implemented in Zig with no dependencies on external ML frameworks like PyTorch or JAX. ZigFormer is modelled after a textbook LLM (like GPT-2 from OpenAI) and can be used as a Zig library as well as a standalone application to train a model and chat with it.
This was mainly an educational project. I'm sharing it here in case others find it interesting or useful.
