The core product is 'colibri', an engine designed to run large Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models (GLM-5.2, 744B MoE) on consumer-grade hardware. Its key architectural feature is streaming experts from disk for CPU-only execution to manage RAM constraints. The discussion focuses on benchmarking its performance.

## Commit
`3e4d08b6bfe67b9bc17e8a0694b7c2604862612d`
## Hardware and storage
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor
- Threads: 32 logical CPUs
- RAM: 128 GiB total
- Model storage: Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 1TB NVMe
- Storage link: PCIe 5.0 x4
- Filesystem: local ext4
## Software environment
- Host OS: Linux
- Build/runtime path: CPU-only default build, no CUDA
- Model location: `/models/glm52-colibri-int4`
- Engine: `GLM-5.2 · 744B MoE · int4 · streaming CPU`
## Build and benchmark commands
```sh
cd /home/colibri/c
./setup.sh
./coli info --model /models/glm52-colibri-int4
./coli run --model /models/glm52-colibri-int4 --ngen 64 --temp 0 "Explain in one short paragraph how a CPU-only streaming MoE model trades RAM, disk, and compute."
./coli run --model /models/glm52-colibri-int4 --ngen 64 --temp 0 "Explain in one short paragraph how a CPU-only streaming MoE model trades RAM, disk, and compute."
```
Disk throughput check on a representative shard:
```sh
gcc -O2 -fopenmp c/iobench.c -o /tmp/colibri-iobench
/tmp/colibri-iobench /models/glm52-colibri-int4/out-00000.safetensors 19 64 8 1
```
## Results
Warm-up policy: two back-to-back generation runs after relocating the model to the PCIe 5.0 drive. The learned expert-usage history was retained.
Run count: 2
Generation throughput:
- Run 1: `64 token in 228.22s (0.28 tok/s)`
- Run 2: `64 token in 230.59s (0.28 tok/s)`
- Median throughput: `0.28 tok/s`
Run 1 profile:
- RSS: `82.15 GB`
- Expert hit-rate: `56.7%`
- Profi...
