llama.cpp performance improvements

+++ Local LLM inference just got 3-4x faster on multi-GPU rigs, proving that sometimes the real gains hide in optimization rather than another 70B parameter model. +++

llama.cpp performance breakthrough for multi-GPU setups

"While we were enjoying our well-deserved end-of-year break, theΒ **ik\_llama.cpp**Β project (a performance-optimized fork of llama.cpp) achieved a breakthrough in local LLM inference for multi-GPU configurations, delivering a massive performance leap β€” not just a marginal gain, but a 3x to 4x speed im..."

Reliable and Resilient Collective Communication Library for LLM Training and Serving

"Modern ML training and inference now span tens to tens of thousands of GPUs, where network faults can waste 10--15\% of GPU hours due to slow recovery. Common network errors and link fluctuations trigger timeouts that often terminate entire jobs, forcing expensive checkpoint rollback during training..."

Claude Code capabilities and usage guides

+++ Turns out when you give an LLM file access and patience, it becomes surprisingly useful for DNA analysis, data pipelines, and iOS development. Mastery requires actual skill though, not just vibes. +++

Why Claude Code is much more than a coding agent: it is a general-purpose AI agent that can do almost anything a user can on a computer, with impressive results
