Nace AI releases Drex Max v1, a 27B model that scores options instead of generating text

According to a post on X by @upeshinmars, Nace AI has opened Drex Max v1, a dense 27B model with a 255-way readout head. Given a context and named questions, the model returns a probability for every option in a single forward pass, and nothing is generated. The model card says it runs locally on Apple silicon through llama.cpp, Ollama and MLX, and it is released under Nace.AI's Open RAIL-M license.

DolphinRouting proposes cluster-level binary routing for disaggregated LLM inference serving

A preprint on arXiv describes DolphinRouting, a method for routing requests in large language model serving systems that separate prefill and decode work across different worker pools. The approach decides request paths by learning from end-to-end service-level objective (SLO) feedback under a given prefill/decode resource allocation. According to the snippet, requests are clustered using raw prompt length, cache-adjusted input lengths on both worker pools, and output length. The snippet is truncated, so further specifics such as benchmark results are not available here.

GPU-Resident Speculative Decoding for In-Browser LLM Inference with WebGPU

A research paper on arXiv describes a WebGPU runtime for running large language model inference inside web browsers. The authors say WebGPU allows private, offline inference on web pages, but browser dispatch, inter-process communication, synchronous readback and single-token kernels slow decoding and make conventional speculative decoding inefficient. The paper presents a runtime that targets these browser-specific costs, using deterministic small-batch integer kernels to speed up multi-token verification. According to the snippet, the approach preserves exact agreement with the reference output, though the excerpt is cut off before full results are given.

GAAC proposes lossless KV cache compression for long-context LLM inference on personal devices

An arXiv preprint describes GAAC, a lossless key-value (KV) cache compression and serving system for large language models. The authors note that weight-only lossy quantization already reduces LLM storage and memory needs, but the growing KV cache remains a bottleneck for long-context inference on personal devices. GAAC exploits exponent redundancy to reduce storage and accelerate attention, and it is presented as lossless.

JVM library claims local LLM inference in one dependency-free JAR, faster than llama.cpp

A Hacker News post links to qxotic.ai under the title "Local inferencing in one JVM JAR, dependency free, faster than llama.cpp." The discussion has 2 points and 1 comment, so it has drawn little attention so far. The available information gives no benchmarks or test details, so the speed claim against llama.cpp is not supported here.
