synchopate/llama-modchip: Run Frontier MoE Models on Pure CPU with Zero GPUs

The author released llama-modchip, an open-source toolset enabling users to run large mixture-of-experts models like DeepSeek-V4-Flash and NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-30B locally on standard CPUs with zero GPUs required. By implementing techniques such as Second-Order Hessian Compression and custom FlashAttention, the engine allows a 284B frontier model to fit within 64 GB of system RAM at full context speeds.
