KLD is not a leaderboard: what divergence actually measures in quantized models

KLD is often treated as a universal metric for ranking quantized models, but it only measures the average divergence between the probability distributions of the base model and the quantized one. The number is fragile: it depends on the dataset, is easy to manipulate with calibration data, and does not predict real task behavior. A more rigorous approach is needed for on-prem model evaluation.

63 hours of autonomous inference on an RTX 3090: the real load is orchestration

An experiment with a 27 billion parameter LLM in 4-bit quantization on an RTX 3090, for 63 hours, does not solve Riemann but shows the endurance of self-hosted agentic pipelines. The value is not the theorem: it is process stability, memory management, and data ownership. AI-Radar analyzes implications for local infrastructure, evaluation, and orchestration.

KV cache: the new frontier of on-premise LLM infrastructure

Astera Labs' move shifts attention from compute to memory. The KV cache, critical for agentic workloads, becomes a physical constraint affecting parallelism, latency, and TCO. For self-hosted and on-premise deployments, memory hierarchy and data movement become primary selection criteria.
