Local LLM engine

Sneo

Run models bigger than your GPU.A local LLM engine for Windows and NVIDIA cards. It keeps the experts a model calls most in VRAM, the rest in RAM, and has the GPU and the CPU share every token.

Measured on Nov 12, 2026 on the main test PC: RTX 3090 24 GB, Intel i9-12900K, 32 GB DDR5, Windows 10. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next IQ3_XXS, 64K context window, thinking on, temperature 0.6, up to 256 output tokens, four runs per test, averaged.

Compared

Side by side with other engines

Against Strata, on the same 70.6 GB model

Sneo writes faster at every prompt size, from 9% on code to 32% on short chats, and starts answering sooner on code reviews and long prompts. Strata still starts sooner on short chats and, by 5%, on very long prompts.

Writing speed in tokens per second, Sneo against Strata 0.1.57: short chat 105.1 and 79.5, code review 93.6 and 85.7, long prompt 99.2 and 80.5, very long prompt 93.6 and 78.9Seconds until the answer starts, Sneo against Strata 0.1.57: short chat 0.34 and 0.20, code review 2.0 and 2.9, long prompt 7.3 and 7.9, very long prompt 29.1 and 27.8
01Same hardware

One PC and the same Qwen3.8-Flash-Next IQ3_XXS files, 70.6 GB, with a 64K context window. Sneo ran on the RTX 3090 alone, with its GTX 1070 helper switched off. Strata used the settings of its own app, with the experts kept in RAM.

02Like a real chat

Thinking on, temperature 0.6, top_p 0.95, top_k 20, up to 256 tokens per answer and a fresh prompt every time. The engines took turns on the GPU, Sneo, Strata, Sneo, Strata, four requests for each prompt size.

03Reading the charts

Each column is the median of four runs and the thin line goes from the slowest to the fastest one. The line under each group says which engine was faster and by how much.

Measured on Nov 12, 2026 on the main test PC: RTX 3090 24 GB, Intel i9-12900K, 32 GB DDR5, NVMe SSD, Windows 10.

Speeds are tokens per second while writing. The GTX 1070 was measured with an earlier build of Sneo, and models bigger than VRAM and RAM together read the rest from the SSD as they run.

Features

What makes it fast

01memory

Experts where they count

A heat map learns which experts each model calls most and keeps them in VRAM. The rest wait in RAM, and the CPU works on them in step with the GPU.

02speed

Guesses ahead

The model's own draft layer proposes the next tokens, and text the answer repeats is copied straight from the prompt. One pass checks them all.

03prefill

Reads long prompts fast

Tensor core kernels and streamed expert blocks read a 24,000 token prompt in under 30 seconds.

04network

Pool your PCs

Join a second PC over your network or Tailscale and let it hold part of the model with its own memory.

05sharing

Recipes

Save your tuned settings and heat map in one file. Share it, or import one made on another PC for the same model.

06app

Agent included

The desktop app comes with a coding agent that reads, edits and runs your projects, plus OpenAI and Anthropic compatible APIs for your own tools.
