Tlume – a CLI tool that converts Tart VM images for Lume
Shoutout to our amazing contributor @iaktech for building tlume - a CLI tool that converts Tart VM images into the format expected by Lume! tlume will: - Locate your Tart VM in ~/.tart/vms/ - Create a Lume VM in ~/.lume/ - Copy all VM files with optimized buffering - Convert the Tart config to Lume format - Preserve all your VM hardware settings, network config, and display settings This new bridge interface will greatly simplify adoption for those with existing Tart images and help commoditize Apple Virtualization.framework solutions across the ecosystem!

- NTNabu (TTS Reader and LLM Playground on Android)2025 · github.com · ▲7
With the latest launch from Google I've added support for Gemma 3 270M, the speed for local LLM to TTS token time is incredible! This is an heavy obvious work in progress - any contributions or tips would be welcome. The idea is to have a fast moving edge model playground, and maybe have some utility (like the e reader) on the side.
- IBI built a local Elixir/Python pipeline to curate 14,000 RAW photosApr 2026 · qwelian.com · ▲5
I had 14,000 photos sitting on a drive and wanted an excuse to play with local vision models and Elixir/Phoenix. I originally tried to get LLaVA to tell me if a photo was 'good' or matched my style, but quickly learned that LLMs have terrible taste. I ended up demoting the LLM to just extract metadata, and built a custom CLIP/Ridge Regression pipeline to actually learn my preferences based on how I rate things. The stack is Phoenix/Oban on the orchestrator side, and Python/FastAPI/Instructor for the AI workers. Happy to answer any questions about the architecture,…
Shoehorn, a library to quantize an LLM to fit your Mac's VRAM23d ago · github.com · ▲6I made this after seeing someone posit the idea online yesterday over lunch then spent some time refining it. So far it's pretty impressive IMO! Right now I am running Qwen3-30B-A3B on my 24gb unified memory m4 MacBook Pro at 50 tok/sec and this should definitely not be working for such a large model on my middling hardware. Things are detailed in the README to get up and running and DESIGN.md has details on all the choices and such made along the way.
- KPKV-psi, using Linux PSI to to trim an LLM KV cacheJun 2026 · github.com · ▲8
I thought it'd be interesting to use Linux PSI (Pressure Stall Information) for an LLM runtime to trim the KV cache. This is mainly useful imo for edge devices like the Jetson Orin super nano kit which have unified memory. I haven't benched much, but plan to do so more over time and see if I can make a real use of it as I run local LLMs. Let me know if it makes sense :P (I of course vibed this idea)
