Ling Tiny 3.0 is a glimpse of the future

A user successfully ran Ling Tiny 3.0, an 8 billion parameter model (MoE, 1B active), on an old 2017 laptop with a 7th gen i5 and 8GB RAM, using llama.cpp. Despite the lack of VRAM or a dedicated GPU, the model processed a request to scan the local network for llama.cpp servers, generating a script at 10 tokens per second and completing the task in 20 minutes. This experience left the user amazed at the model's performance on such limited hardware.

This report uniquely details Ling Tiny 3.0's performance on a 2017 laptop with no VRAM, unlike most benchmarks focusing on high-end hardware.
