Ten days ago I had an experience with Gemini 3.8 flash that made me wonder if I was being routed to a different model under test. I was trying to use rocm with llama.cpp on my 128gb Strix Halo but could only get it to run Vulkan. I pasted the error message into agy and it proceeded to attach GDB to my GPU driver, reverse-engineer the kernel queue ioctl interface, and author an LD_PRELOAD C shim to get ROCm llama.cpp working on my Strix Halo. My jaw was hanging open the whole time.
Edit to add the fix: <a href="https://gist.github.com/birep/6f2c8d490c7a29820997d57bd654c351" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/birep/6f2c8d490c7a29820997d57bd654c3...

  Please tell me you published your findings even as an issue on the llama.cpp GitHub

    Why? Anyone can run that prompt.

    Not everybody has access to AI. More than that, every prompt uses insane amounts of natural resources. So why not share it.

    That is not normal. Were you able to use the arch wiki? Omarchy is a version of arch Linux.

    IDK how it fixed it exactly, I suspect it's macbook specific issue. It wasn't accepting my wifi password and 5ghz radio wasn't working. Steering it to fix 5ghz sorted it out. I'm not going to any wiki's myself, fuck that.
