RLM idea: an 8B model reading n-gram tables, theoretically scaling to 1T params

gnukeith discusses RLM (Reading Language Model): an 8B model that reads n-gram tables, theoretically equivalent to a 1T-parameter model with only 8B active params — heavily caveated as theoretical. He also shares local deployment tips: running Qwen at very low quants degrades quality badly, but you can recover some of it using the DeepSeek Harness to find issues and fixing them with plugins/steering, plus links to small models that run at higher quants on a single GPU.
