      <title>Charming My Biblically Accurate Mamba</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;So how to find the mamaba for you, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Standard mamba model; honestly pretty great but is it worth the hype? Absolutely have u seen how much transformers get? Narcs &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hybrid models; alr now we're talking honestly mamba-1.58 version is a wet dream if u don't care about precision as much, linear attention (keeps ur tokens and tokens per second [t/s] in check), u can also use zamba2 I feel it's legendary, &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ultra Low ram users like me; best bet is sub-1B if pure ram,and u want good speed,and not want ur device to go bye-bye and kamakaze&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Power users who r rich 🤑; the world is ur to take it recommend liquid AI, it's multimodal as well, if u feel extra lengthy and girthy, try learning to graft or auto distill from a larger model like deepseek R1 so this babe actually can do autonomous tasks, the reason is precision, SSMs are notorious for batshit precision, tho mamba3 does solve most of it&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overall good family, very open source, and barely any incest&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

      <title>HDC model for dummies (18+)</title>
      <dc:creator>Andrale</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 03 Jul 2026 18:05:54 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/obvaiguy69420/hdc-model-for-dummies-18-4l66</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/obvaiguy69420/hdc-model-for-dummies-18-4l66</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;So well come to my guide for HDC(hyperdimension computing)for beginners and dummies, so ur here to learn HDC good, very maso, love it, 1.first u need python(1.0+)&lt;br&gt;
2.next for libraries it's pytorch + torchdd or holo(If ur feeling extra kinky) which is a rust-python wrapper,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AI example code
import torch
import torchhd&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  1. Set the dimensionality
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;d = 1000  # The "1000D" you mentioned&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  2. Create a random hypervector (your first "memory")
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;hv = torchhd.random(1, d)  # A tensor with 1,000 random values&lt;br&gt;
print(f"Hypervector shape: {hv.shape}")&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  3. The fundamental operations
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;hv2 = torchhd.random(1, d)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  BUNDLE (superposition): Think of this as creating a "set" or a "noisy" memory
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;bundled_hv = torchhd.bundle(hv, hv2)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  BIND (association): This creates a new hypervector that encodes a relationship
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;bound_hv = torchhd.bind(hv, hv2)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  4. Similarity (the "search" and "recognition" function)
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;similarity = torchhd.cosine_similarity(hv, hv2)&lt;br&gt;
print(f"Similarity between two random vectors: {similarity.item():.4f}")&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;
  
  
  You'll see a number close to 0, as random vectors are nearly orthogonal.
&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(I recommend claude for free and gemini pro if ur rich 🤑to code for you if ur feeling extra romantic)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I recommend starting at 1k D, cos it's easier to control and won't get you scratching ur head but itching for more&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I recommend thinking them of a sheet of graphene(2D) to help u visualise, if ur feeling smart try thinking them of diamond lattice(3D), if u feel even spicier image them as a universe with galaxies as moving nodes cos "distance" is now an abstract concept&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stay hydrated&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Have fun 😊&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ask questions, cos it's better if ur responsive and ready to learn -teehee ✨😘&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

      <title>Just another set up guide for a 4GB ram potato</title>
      <dc:creator>Andrale</dc:creator>

      <link>https://dev.to/obvaiguy69420/just-another-set-up-guide-for-a-4gb-ram-potato-k5f</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/obvaiguy69420/just-another-set-up-guide-for-a-4gb-ram-potato-k5f</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;So to keep it short, I'll lay out the details for quick readers, it's Bitnet 1.58 bonsai-8B+ bitnet.cpp(or llama.cpp of ur lazy) + tools like persistent memory and auto batching,(or just use ollama and use community plugins) ummm yeah that's it, if ur in for the juice here's more:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Llama.cpp is good honestly works well for Bitnet unless u feel maso u can use Bitnet very similar low learning curve, but try use 512 batching (works for me)if u have a dedicated GPU unlike please use that, it'll get ur bestie,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If ur feeling risky use early speculation like a small 0.5B model but Bitnet is fast enough already(also adds unnecessary ram overhead, or idk lora TTT is a good way? Too many things to do)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why Bitnet, speed and just raw general IQ is dense AF(gives like 7B accuracy and 45t/s but don't take my word for it,but also so I don't feel bad expect 25t/s)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Should or can u find something better? Absolutely &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maybe ask me questions, I'll answer in a few mins prolly(i hallucinate too)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any upgrades u can add? In place TTT makes u a mad max model, but lora TTT is going crazy especially if u use the prototype Qlora + inplace TTT, next is like tool calling use TTT or lora to teach it permanently (remember to save if ur using TTT) yeah there's more but honestly this should get u going pretty smoothly &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
