SearchBlox's SearchAI Inference Server v1.2.0 now natively serves Spark-X2.5, XHToken's Apache-2.0 model family in 4B and 1.7B dense sliding-window-attention sizes. The 1.7B decodes at ~55 tok/s on a CPU in SearchBlox's measurements and fits a 4 GB host, targeting fast, cheap, private inference for classify/route/extract workloads. For practitioners, it means small production LLM tasks can run on existing hardware without requests leaving the network.
A WebAssembly-based inference engine that runs a 350M-parameter LiquidAI LFM 2.5 model entirely in the browser with 4-bit quantization. It requires no GPU, no server, and no network at inference time, enabling private on-device AI chat for users without powerful hardware.

A Reddit user browsing Hugging Face found Spark-X2.5-4B and Spark-X2.5-1.7B from XHToken, small models with their own architecture rather than fine-tunes. The 4B reportedly benchmarks neck and neck with Qwen 3.5 9B, and both claim native 1M context. They do not yet run out of the box on llama.cpp.

Reame is a llama.cpp-based CPU inference server that serves OLMoE (7B, 1B active MoE, Q4) at ~25 tok/s on a free Oracle ARM box. It demonstrates that MoE models can achieve high throughput on CPU, making large language model inference accessible at zero hosting cost.

llm-bench.io published local inference benchmarks for a quantized Qwen3.8-Flash-Next build on Apple Silicon, reporting 45 tok/s on an M4 Max and 25 tok/s on an M2 Ultra. The build is quantized to oQ4e with multi-token prediction and delivers speeds similar to Qwen3.8 27B on Apple Silicon.

A Dev Genius article reports that a single 4B multimodal model running on a free local CPU inference server—a 16-core, 32 GB RAM machine with no GPU—completed over 90% of enterprise AI tasks. The setup uses a one-line installation, suggesting practical viability for CPU-only deployments.
