FreeToken: 4x Faster Decode, Enables 284B Models on Gaming Desktops
airesearch12 · x · 2026-08-22
FreeToken is an edge-native MoE serving system that achieves 3–4× faster decode and 6–30× faster prefill compared to Ollama. It utilizes bandwidth-adaptive CPU–GPU execution and semantic-aware caching across agent turns.
By treating personal machines as elastic inference platforms, FreeToken dynamically maps computation and model state. It enables running a 35B model on an 8GB laptop GPU, a 284B model on a gaming desktop, and the 753B GLM-5.2 on a single workstation GPU.
