The Redis Guy Wrote a Local LLM Engine That Refuses to Be General. That's Why It Works.
Salvatore Sanfilippo (antirez, the guy who wrote Redis) shipped a local inference engine called DwarfStar 4, or ds4. It hit the Hacker News front page this week and the repo is sitting around 23k stars after about two weeks.

Everyone else is racing to support every model on earth. antirez went the other way.
