Colibrì, anybody tested?

I recently come across this project, which seems very interesting because it let you run literally huge models on consumer hardware.

I am fancying yo try run Qwen3.8 flash next with this on my setup. I don’t expect anything usable, but just for the fun of it. What stopping me is the download size of the model.

Has anybody tried colibri? Just to have an idea of speed to expect. 1t/s? 0.1t/s?

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they’re still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
