   Kapitsa: open-source Apple Silicon optimized Metal engine built for Qwen and Nemotron. See benchmarks of Qwen 27B, Nemotron + 8 other models on an M1 Pro (16GB), M4 Pro (48GB) and M5 Max (128GB)
   Kapitsa runs only two model families: Qwen (3.5 4B, 3.8 27B, 3.6 35B-A3B, and 3.8 Flash-Next on 128 GB Macs) and NVIDIA Nemotron (3.5 Lightning, Bolt and Super-VL, plus Dory 4B (this is new, we didnt test Dory too much yet). focusing on only these models allows us customize the Metal kernels for each one on Apple Silicon

   I moved from network training to deployment optimization and am starting to think that was a right decision [D]
   TL;DR: this is just a thought dump about how I moved from network training to deployment and why I am making peace with (maybe) not getting back to model training, nothing too interesting.
