The brief
A detailed post on r/LocalLLaMA corrects a widely shared misconception about Engrams and Qwen 3.8 Flash Next.
Key points
- Contrary to viral claims, N-gram speculative decoding does not allow running 1 trillion parameter models on a single server by offloading 980 billion parameters to SSD.
- The technique reduces latency at normal model sizes but does not change the fundamental memory requirements for large models.
