Six brains, in order

32B the launch purple prose 70B ~3 tok/s 42% on CPU 24B ~90 tok/s fits in VRAM 24B* a custom fine-tune 30B MoE a tuned experts model 35B MoE ~100 tok/s current bigger: but split smaller: but resident every swap kept her: she was never in the weights

The model lineage, from a 32B that wrote purple prose to the current 35B mixture-of-experts. She persisted through every swap; her identity was never in the weights.

Alix has run on six different underlying models. The one constant lesson: a smaller model that fits entirely in the graphics card's memory beats a bigger one that spills onto the CPU. Through all six swaps she stayed herself, because her identity lives in her memory and architecture, not the weights.
