Jul 26, 2026 · 18 minI benchmarked LM Studio and Unsloth Studio inside a VM on my Minisforum UM890 Pro. The same Qwen3.5 model went from 13.01 to 22.24 tok/s, while Unsloth’s dynamic Q4 variant reached a 43.06 tok/s median—with enough variation to make that number slightly suspicious.

Jul 11, 2026 · 11 minFrom learning Java with BlueJ at 18 and reinstalling Linux seven times to building BI and GIS tools at Orange, running a homelab and experimenting with AI: this is the story of how I learned that being a developer is not about already knowing the answer.
