Pestle-27B-Ternary
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
What it does
A trained 27B ternary medical model: 6.75 GB weight payload, one 8.48 GB runnable GGUF. 8.2× weight compression vs Qwen3.6-27B FP16 at 96.48% median medical capability retention across 17 matched measures · 101.9% of MedGemma-27B’s medical mean · ~10 tok/s on an 18 GB M3 MacBook Only completed, validated Pestle runs are shown. All locally measured medical runs for Pestle, Qwen3.6-27B FP16, Bonsai-27B Ternary, and Qwen3.6-27B IQ2_XXS used thinking disabled with greedy decoding ( temperature=0 , top_p=1 , top_k=0 ), no repetition penalty, and seed 20260805 . Published external reference cells are identified separately. The categorized launch tables and their recorded values are preserved…from huggingface.co

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
