Reddit user u/AdIllustrious7246 released a fork of PS5LM, a port of llama.cpp, that runs natively on a jailbroken PS5 and can use the console’s GPU. The fork can handle models such as Qwen 3.8‑27B at roughly 20 tokens per second, far faster than earlier CPU‑only ports that were limited to about 6 GiB of RAM.
