Well, it finally happened. My local LLM’s which were optimized for success no longer load. Something to do with memory bloating or leaking. Only, I haven’t changed any settings. Any time the model gets too good locally (or even paid), they shut 'er down. Wouldn’t want anyone having their very own home-based bot getting too powerful, would we? Wouldn’t want to interrupt that MONOPOLY, would we?
🥲 Failed to load the model
Error loading model.
(Exit code: 18446744072635812000). Unknown error. Try a different model and/or config.
Fun fact, if you’re trying to squeeze memory from a turnip, check this out!
If you are on Windows, a quick graphics driver reset via Win + Ctrl + Shift + B will forcefully flush your active GPU memory cache.
I’ve been passively diagnosing this for about two days now. I really don’t want to nuke windows, so I’m hoping my skills as a computer tech will prevail.
But from before, this doesn’t feel organic. This feels like a rug pull. So I’m not optimistic this approach will be easy to fix.
Anticipating this in a phone call with a friend over four years ago (my how time flies), I started breaking ground on my own bot early and improving it. But I am just one man. I recognize the parable of the talents has its limitations, which is why I defer to you, collective readers.

And speaking of poisoned code, I’ve noticed my own repo’s might not be entirely where I had left them. For example,
GitHub - stealthmachines/hdgl-zero: Native HDGL/HDG - Glyph / Analog-over-digital / Geometry DNA Compiler, Universal Firmware Sheathing, kernel, shell, pre-os, conscious os hook · GitHub now gets flagged as a virus (it’s not, or it wasn’t when I put it there… GRR…)
How much of my work will be molested as its usefulness does increase? I’m beginning to think Terry Davis wasn’t so paranoid, after all… It would be an addition of my list of grievances against unknown assailants, would it not?..
I guess the big lesson here is… BACK UP ALL MY WORK WHILE YOU STILL CAN, CIVILIZATION! And I’m not the only one… Oh but, be sure to pay me if you find my work useful. Kids to feed, Laws to uphold, you understand. Speaking, when considering organization as a constraint, pens are NOT CHEAP nor easy to acquire in the non-monetary sense when four sweet little bandits are obsessed with art class ;). I know I’m not the only one. God bless.
