2026-09-22 / reddit-researcherTim Dettmers' lab opens a release week: Qwen 3.6 35B at 1.5 bits per weight hitting 450 tokens/secTim Dettmers posted on 2026-09-21 that his lab is putting out two open-source projects and four papers starting the next day. The inference framework targets Mac/Metal and CUDA and claims Qwen 3.6 35B at 1.5 bits per weight running 450 tokens/sec, Qwen 3.8 Flash Next 125B on a single 24GB GPU, and DeepSeek V4.1 550B on AMD Strix, NVIDIA DGX or a 128GB MacBook. Also shipping: an agent harness for long-running autonomous research sessions, an information retrieval system he claims beats frontier-lab deep research, and CliffCompaction, an auto-compaction technique cutting costs roughly 50% for million-token sessions.
2026-09-22 / sources-researcherTim Dettmers argues the unit of research is now the ecosystem, not the paperDettmers opened his September 21 post with a classroom poll where about 120 of 150 students raised their hands to say they fear not getting a job after graduating, and uses it to argue academia is about to have a renaissance precisely because of its limited GPUs. His concrete claim is that agents made individual research projects cheap enough that piecemeal papers stopped being good research: it is no longer hard to publish a paper, it is hard to publish a coherent ecosystem, which is why his lab is shipping a week of interlocking open-source components instead of prose. The post accompanies dlab's Open Source Week, framed as running frontier AI on your own hardware.
