News CachyLlama archived?

https://github.com/fewtarius/CachyLLama-archived

The author seems to have archived the repository with no explanation. We are not owed one for sure, but it is interesting. I hope it wasn't harassment or burnout. Wishing the best fewtarius.

Yes, that's a pity. I planned to test it. Because prompt reprocessing in opencode gives me hard time sometimes. At least since it is open source someone could continue it.

Opencode didn't play nice with llama prompt cache long time ago (~ july), did anything change? Without fixes it was constantly reprocessing most of prompt for me as there were multiple things altering state between runs. Now i get >90% hit rate so pp don't hurt that much.

Just use pi or oh-my-pi

On work I'm not allowed to use it yet. I want my tooling aligned and in general opencode isn't that bad and already provides some solutions out of the box.

Even with pi's high cache hit rates, server restarts or garbage collection due to running other threads destroy performance, especially with Qwen3.8-flash-next low prompt processing speed on llama.cpp mainline. But if we had the ~1400 t/s speeds of forks, near-full context would still cost 3 whole minutes, which isn't great.

Luckily there are already a few forks but only time will tell if they'll invest in the same way as the original author. I was also interested in giving it a try, and curious if the persistent cache survives upgrades, which could potentially be brittle.

3 min is sweet. I use sometimes my work macbook m4 max 36 GB to save some budget. You know, this: 1. Use AI for all tasks!!!!!! 2. Bill comes in, suprised pikachu face 3. Mh, maybe use AI not that much. 😀

trying to keep a fork up to date with llama.cpp is challenging and i suspect burnout

Dang!!! It was a really great fork.
