Alex Kholman: Machine Learning Engineer Building Production AI Systems with AWS and LLMs

Alex Kholman：用 AWS 和大型語言模型打造完整 AI 系統的機器學習工程師

Meet Alex Kholman, a machine learning engineer who specializes in building complete AI systems from scratch. He works with large language models (LLMs), AWS cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines that can handle massive scale. If you're curious about how real-world AI systems actually get built—beyond the hype—this is the kind of engineer doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

TRELLIS.2 image-to-3D now runs on Mac (Apple Silicon) - no NVIDIA GPU needed

I ported Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 to run on Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. The original depends on five CUDA-only compiled extensions (flex_gemm, flash_attn, o_voxel, cumesh, nvdiffrast) that have no Mac equivalent. Wrote replacement backends from scratch: Pure-PyTorch sparse 3D convolution (replacing flex_gemm), Python mesh extraction using spatial hashing (replacing CUDA hashmap ops in o_voxel), SDPA attention for sparse transformers (replacing flash_attn), and GPU-accelerated trilinear interpolation (replacing cumesh and nvdiffrast).

Show HN: Run TRELLIS.2 Image-to-3D generation natively on Apple Silicon

I ported Microsoft's TRELLIS.2 (4B parameter image-to-3D model) to run on Apple Silicon via PyTorch MPS. The original requires CUDA with flash_attn, nvdiffrast, and custom sparse convolution kernels: none of which work on Mac. I replaced the CUDA-specific ops with pure-PyTorch alternatives: a gather-scatter sparse 3D convolution, SDPA attention for sparse transformers, and a Python-based mesh extraction replacing CUDA hashmap operations. Total changes are a few hundred lines across 9 files.

Which Qwen 3.6 Quantization Works Best for M5 Pro with 24GB RAM?

A user with an M5 Pro machine featuring 24GB of RAM is trying to figure out the best quantization level for running Qwen 3.6 via Ollama. They're unsure whether to go with Q4 (4-bit quantization) but can't find a solid Q3 (3-bit) alternative. They're looking for recommendations on which version would run smoothly on their setup without compromising too much on quality.
