How to run Underdog Saluki 27B, a 2-bit Qwen3.8-27B, for tool calling

A coding guide compares Underdog Saluki 27B, a 2-bit version of Qwen3.8-27B, with ISTA's GSQ-RCO quantisation. It looks at GGUF headers, memory use and tool-calling performance on the BFCL benchmark in standard llama.cpp.

Nvidia open-sources Flora to make robot video labelling 125x cheaper than GPT-6 Astra

Nvidia's open data engine Flora labels an hour of robot video for 72 cents, against $88 with GPT-6 Astra, with slightly higher quality scores. Built on three fine-tuned Qwen3.5 models, it is far better at spotting errors in robot actions but sometimes less accurate in its descriptions, and Nvidia sees it as part of a push to cover the whole robotics value chain.
