Jailbroken PS5s can now run local AI models at over 100+ tokens per second — fork of PS5LM goes native, hijacks the CPU, and accesses the GPU and more RAM

A new fork of PS5LM enables jailbroken PS5s to run local AI models natively using the GPU at over 100 tokens per second.Summary
A Reddit user known as u/AdIllustrious7246 has released a fork of PS5LM, a llama.cpp port for the PS5, that allows jailbroken consoles to run local AI large language models natively. Unlike the original version by GitHub user cobanov, which operated as a CPU payload limited to about 6 GiB of memory, this fork utilizes the GPU and accesses more RAM, enabling larger models such as Qwen3.8-27B to run at around 20 tokens per second. The original payload approach hijacked the CPU, restricting memory to avoid freezing the home screen, but the new native implementation overcomes these limitations for significantly improved AI performance.
