🚀 FastFlowLM v0.9.17 — Faster Vision Understanding for Qwen3VL, Improved Memory Management for GPT-OSS, and New OpenAI Safeguard Model
FastFlowLM v0.9.17 brings performance boosts to vision models, improves compatibility for systems with limited RAM, and adds a safer GPT-OSS variant.
✨ What’s New
⚡ 1. Faster Vision Understanding for Qwen3VL
- Speedup for image embedding with Qwen3VL models.
- Require redownloading the model
đź§ 2. GPT-OSS Optimization for Low-RAM Machines
- Improved memory management for
gpt-oss:20b. Increase the chance to run on 32GB system (note: NPU can access <50% of total RAM). - Speedup for decoding at long context lengths.
- Driver version higher than
32.0.203.304is required - Require redownloading the model
🛡️ 3. New Model: gpt-oss-safeguard:20b
- A safety-enhanced, instruction (prompt)-tuned variant of
gpt-oss:20b. - Optimized for assistant-style tasks with safer responses.
- Run with:
flm run gpt-oss-sg:20b
⚠️ 4. API Focus: OpenAI-Compatible
- Discontinuing Ollama API support.
- Focusing on the OpenAI-compatible API.
This release enhances speed and system flexibility, while expanding FastFlowLM’s model lineup with secure, large-scale assistants.
