After seeing so many good example results out of the MiMo v2.6 Pro RL I setup a recipe using Jarrelscy AVRQ hybrid quantization which is the first time i’m using this type of quantization on Four DGX-sparks with sm-121 since Jarrelscy recipe is for SM120. Adapted and wrote a script for it to work on the SM121 GB10 stack . Thanks @jarrelscy for the quantization/vllm sm120 Now you can run the MiMo V2.6 PRO-RL on TP=4 on 4 DGX sparks with 1M context and 2M KV token pool Dflash and Ablit coming for this. Stay tuned

SF vs NYC I moved back to NYC recently after a stretch in SF. A few things surprised me, and one of them changed how we hire. 1. SF is genuinely ahead. When it comes to anything to do with tech, there’s no competition. My first time in the Bay was summer 2015 and everyone was talking about two things, Tesla and Bitcoin. Right now everyone there is talking about hardware and longevity. Can’t say the same for NYC. If you’re in a season of life where being at the absolute forefront of tech is a must, then you should do everything in your power to move to SF. But when the moment passes, SF moves on quickly. Barely anyone I know talks about stablecoins in SF these days. So have to be prepared to ride those waves. 2. From a founder standpoint, the hiring situation is interesting. I think NYC is the better option right now to build a team. In SF you're bidding for engineers against Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta, all of them trading at trillion dollar valuations. I've heard the same story from a lot of SF founders. You hire someone great, and a year later they have an offer you can't come close to matching. Also a lot of engineers live in SF because they want to start a company. Which means they're hacking on their own thing at night and they're less committed to yours than you think. 3. NYC is different. People live in NYC because they want to live there. There's life outside of work and the talent is also genuinely very strong. Ramp scaled their fintech hub there on exactly this, 25 year olds who just wanted to be in NYC. We're taking a similar stance and our retention has been really good. 4. What I didn't expect: how much I like not being surrounded by tech. In SF everyone works in tech. A lot of things that look social are de facto networking sessions with VCs, founders, or engineers who want to be founders, which after a while I found was a turnoff. I play padel in NYC and I've made a lot of friends on the court. None of them know what I do. We’ve never once talked about work. Most of them are in finance and I couldn't tell you much more than that. That’s been an unexpected breath of fresh air. In short, SF is the melting pot of tech. NYC is the melting pot of everything else. For what it's worth I'd still rather live in SF. No city in the world matches the Bay for both opportunity and access to nature imo -- I do miss the hikes. I'd just build the team in NYC. P.S. any padel players in the city hmu!
