Ripple-65B LLM requires custom builds for local execution

The Ripple-65B large language model is now available for local execution, though it requires specific configurations and patched software. Standard tools like Ollama and the default llama.cpp build cannot load the model's GGUF files, necessitating a modified version of llama.cpp. Performance benchmarks, primarily from Ricursive, indicate strong results on Terminal-Bench 2.1, surpassing other models, but Ripple-65B is a dense model, meaning it utilizes all 65 billion weights for each token, which impacts bandwidth requirements.

    How to Run Ripple-65B Locally (Ollama and Stock llama.cpp Won't Load It)

    <p>You can run Ripple-65B Preview locally today, but none of the routes are stock. A DGX Spark gets about 26 tok/s on code through a community server kit, GGUF files need a patched llama.cpp because Ollama and stock builds can't load them yet, and the MLX build needs <code>--trus…
