OpenAI's Privacy Filter vs GLiNER on 600 PII samples
Both models are open weight, both run on a local CPU workstation, both detect PII in text. Quick rundown of what I found.
GLiNER large-v2.1 is ~300M params, zero shot, you pass entity types as plain text strings at inference.
Openai/privacy-filter is 1.5B total but only 50M active per forward pass thanks to a sparse MoE.
In practice on CPU openai/privacy-filter ran ~2.8 samples/sec vs ~1.1 for GLiNER large.
Eval was 400 English + 200 multilingual samples from ai4privacy/pii-masking-400k, s

Throughout 2025 the standard response to any complaint about an LLM was some version of "just wait 3-6 months, the next generation will handle this effortlessly." The argument was everywhere. Every limitation was temporary, every missing capability was a few iterations away, every autonomous agent demo was a preview of imminent reality.
It's April 2026 now and worth checking how that held up.
On r/ClaudeAI this week there's a long thread about Opus 4.7 where multiple users argue it's a regress

Mistral Medium 3.5 on AMD Strix Halo: Painfully Slow (Plan for Overnight Runs)
Someone actually tested Mistral Medium 3.5 on AMD's new Strix Halo chip, and the results are... not great. For a 48k-token prompt with 4k thinking tokens, it took about 2 hours just to get an answer about code architecture. Yeah, you read that right—two hours. The takeaway: if you want to run this locally on Strix Halo, queue it up before bed. The technical setup involved heavy optimization (Q5_K_XL quantization, GPU acceleration with -ngl 999, cache reuse), but even with all that tuning, it's still a crawl. Not exactly the "instant local AI" dream, but hey, at least it works.
