A 3-Star C Repo Gained 2,233 Stars in a Day
A pure-C engine with zero dependencies promises frontier MoE models on hardware you already own, and picked up 2,233 stars in a single day.
colibri is worth an evening: pure C, zero dependencies, expert weights streamed from disk. A repository sitting at about 3 stars picked up 2,233 in a day. The pitch is frontier MoE models on the hardware already under the desk.
Streaming experts off disk is the honest part of the design: only a slice of the weights is needed per token, so the rest can sit on disk and bandwidth becomes the bottleneck. That is the trade a single box should make. But a star count is not a measurement, and a description is not one either.
Skip it if you need benchmarks or a release tag; today there is a claim and a file layout. Point it at one MoE checkpoint and watch disk throughput decide the rest.
