Local Deployment

Stop Counting Parameters. The Real AI Metric Nobody’s Watching.

Inkling-Small is called “small” but needs 128GB of unified memory. The paradox reveals an overlooked truth: the real metric for local AI deployment isn’t total parameters — it’s the active-to-total ratio. High sparsity enables brutal quantization without quality loss. Most benchmarks ignore this entirely, and it’s costing engineers real money in wrong hardware decisions.
