SummaryA community post describes a 'Weight-Aware Streaming Tensor Engine' that reportedly runs Kimi K3, a very large model, in only 29 GB of RAM at 0.50 tokens per second, using a weight-aware streaming approach to fit massive models onto limited hardware.
Why it mattersA novel local-inference technique that could let modest-RAM machines load frontier-scale models, though 0.50 tok/s caps its everyday utility.
