Llama-modchip: 284B DeepSeek on 64GB RAM, no GPU
Llama-modchip aims to run a 284-billion-parameter DeepSeek model using 64GB of RAM without a GPU. The provided information does not explain its technical approach. (github.com)
logo.deal is a self-service AI logo generator built around editable vector output rather than finished image files. Users describe a brand, its purpose, preferred mood and colours, then choose a style such as minimal, playful, luxury or tech. The tool produces logo concepts as SVGs that can be opened in design software, with PNG exports also available. Users can change colours, text and layout themselves at no extra cost, and iterate with AI edits where their plan’s credits allow. The service does not include a human designer. Visitors can try one free generation without signing up; previews are watermarked, and a browser-based template demo offers a separate way to test the workflow without AI.
Paid plans provide clean downloads and commercial-use rights. Starter costs $15 monthly or $144 annually and includes 160 monthly credits; Pro costs $39 monthly or $374 annually with 420 credits; Agency costs $99 monthly or $950 annually with 1,050 credits and brand-kit exports. Annual plans include a seven-day trial, but require a card; trial downloads are watermarked, and billing starts after seven days unless canceled. Monthly plans have no trial. A four-concept quick generation costs five credits, while an AI edit costs ten; manual edits are free. Credits generally reset each billing period, with limited rollover for some extras. Commercial use applies to paid-plan downloads, but users should check for trademark conflicts before registering a design.
