Best Way to Run 31B Models on a Laptop? Treat Them Like Databases LARQL decompiles transformer weights into a queryable graph called a vindex. The project pitches a new shape for local inference: walk a subgraph, patch facts, stream from disk. Here's what's real, wh...

New on InsiderLLM: LARQL argues the FFN inside your transformer is already a graph database.

Extract it, patch it with 10KB files, walk it with KNN instead of dense matmul. Run bigger models on modest hardware.

Compelling idea. Author-only benchmarks. Honest take:

Fair point — 80% is for well-scoped tasks where context holds the full picture. Multi-file refactors with implicit deps are exactly where it breaks down. Local on 32K context can't reason across 50+ files like Opus with 200K. That's the real gap.
