The newest community items on cmp.wiki, from November 6 to 9, 2026: a new DeepSeek engine built for four CMP 170HX cards, an ECC problem on some 10 GB cards, new prices and two virtual machine reports that disagree with what the wiki said so far. Each item gives its wiki status: Reported means one person's result, and Contested means members disagree.

Engines and recipes

  • Anemone (Reported): @anon33anon released Anemone on November 6, 2026, a C11/CUDA engine for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. Its README reports 337.2 tok/s for one user and 920.8 tok/s at eight users on four CMP 170HX cards with EXL3 experts, and it needs about 189 GiB of host RAM for Engram. Only the author has measured it so far; see Engines.
  • Project Maya v1.1.57 runs the full GLM-5.3 on its GLM engine, and Strata 0.2.12 and 0.2.13 add a tuned DFlash2 drafter; neither is measured on CMP cards yet (November 7 to 9, 2026).

Unlocks and drivers

  • ECC on the 10 GB card (Reported): an open pull request to cmpunlocker (#68, November 10, 2026 UTC) reports that the current ECC sequence stopped GSP boot on both of its author's 10 GB cards, and proposes ECC off by default on that card with a per-card opt-in. The 8 GB card is not affected. See ECC.
  • Proxmox (Contested): inside a Proxmox VM one owner needed driver 615.71.09 while another only gets 610.43.x to work, per @kingsizexxxl and @sh.ad (November 6, 2026); see Proxmox Gen2 passthrough.
  • ESXi (Reported): @.nightdays posted P2P and Gen2 enabled in an ESXi guest (November 7, 2026), where the wiki had P2P in an ESXi VM as not working yet. Details and a second run are wanted on the board.

Power and prices

  • Idle (Reported): @dalzyyy showed a card idling under 15 W with lower HBM and core voltages set in hardware, but it drops off the bus under load (November 7, 2026); see P-states and idle power.
  • Prices: an 8 GB card listed at 3,499 USD, member offers from 2,700 USD and two cards sold in Poland at 1,400 EUR each (November 7 to 9, 2026); see Prices.
