#EnCodeR

Built my first handwired macropad. 16 keys, two encoders. Case - 3D printed in PET-G. It uses an ATmega32U4, and runs QMK firmware. The swtiches are Akko Piano Pros I had from my Monsgeek M1W (put Outemu Silent Lemons in that).…

Encode-prefill-decode (EPD) disaggregation is an inference optimization technique for multimodal models that separates the vision encoder stage from the prefill…

Google's Gemma 4 12B ditches vision encoders, scores 72% on LiveCodeBench, and runs on 16GB. Here's why researchers are swapping Qwen for it.
