24 alternatives to Selora – local model for Home Assistant
Selora AI Local is an open-source, Qwen-based model for Home Assistant. Specs: Qwen3 1.7B base model (Q6 quantized~1.6GB) Four Home Assistant-specific LoRA adapters: - Answers - Clarifications - Automations - Commands ~3.5 GB total download size Runs locally via llama.cpp We chose a Qwen-based architecture because of a paper on Arxiv (link below) which applied a Qwen based model for local LLM configuration, and showed promising results. We took it a step further in application by training LoRA adapters specialized in Home Assistant configuration. This alpha release ships our base model with…

Hi HN! I'm just sharing a project I've been working on during the LLM Efficiency Challenge - you can now finetune Llama with QLoRA 5x faster than Huggingface's original implementation on your own local GPU. Some highlights: 1. Manual autograd engine - hand derived backprop steps. 2. QLoRA / LoRA 80% faster, 50% less memory. 3. All kernels written in OpenAI's Triton language. 4. 0% loss in accuracy - no approximation methods - all exact. 5. No change of hardware necessary. Supports NVIDIA GPUs since 2018+. CUDA 7.5+. 6. Flash Attention support via Xformers. 7. Supports 4bit and 16bit…

Qwen3.8-Max▲277Qwen3.8-Max + MCP for coding on your local machine, without paying for Qwen Code. Qwen3.8-Max itself runs in the cloud through Qwen Studio — this setup just gives it access to your local files and terminal through MCP. My take: it is slower than Codex and Claude Code, especially in thinking mode, but it does work well. MCP adds some latency too since there’s an extra layer between the model and your machine. In fast mode, it gets noticeably closer. I wouldn’t put it in the same category as Fable or Opus-5. Personally, I’d place it closer to the next Opus 4.7 level in terms of coding ability.…
