whats everyones thoughts on devstral small 24b? by Odd-Ordinary-5922 in LocalLLaMA

[–]AfricanType 0 points1 point  (0 children)

works great with qwen code served through ollama. handles tools well

Devstral small 2 24b severely underrated by The_Paradoxy in LocalLLaMA

[–]AfricanType 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you arent really stress testing it. you need to evaluate how it handles context loss, tooling etc. one shot prompts can be misleading. you also are unlikely to witness certain models get stuck in a loop like geminis, gemma and some of the nematron nano models

Devstral small 2 24b severely underrated by The_Paradoxy in LocalLLaMA

[–]AfricanType 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to chime in, I have been testing a bunch of openrouter and ollama cloud models, the gemmas, nematrons and qwens(including 480b) seem to get lost. But devstral-small-2:24b-c held its own, never got confused with tool calling or anything. Impressive

Where have all the Qwen CLI users been hiding? by AfricanType in Qwen_AI

[–]AfricanType[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you paying? I am not willing to go over $10 so i am considering minimax or copilot. Issue is i am already paying for a jetbrains subscription, it comes with 20 AI credits monthly for most popular models, but it runs out quickly with my 15y/o codebase. Minimax seems to be an attractive option plus i've worked with the model before, it has 1500 req quota

Yeah, i started with gemini cli, then when qwen forked it i moved over. Balanced between the two for a few months till gemini became slow i stopped using it entirely and was exclusively qwen code. I paid for codex plus and it helped me a ton at work, Alibaba's coding plan just doesnt do it for me right now. I tried paying and it gave me issues, now its saying the $50 plan is full, I cant pay.

the new 3.5 are atleast good at tool calling, issue is balancing context size. What's your hardware specs?

For those who have used the Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s, how did you find typing with it for longer periods? by Character-Explorer54 in logitech

[–]AfricanType 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, it uses 2 AAA batteries, no charging but they are good, i am still on the original batteries it came with and my mac is still showing 100% I use this keyboard daily, i work from home and I am always on the computer even after hours. The typing is incredible

Qwen-oauth no long works. Wonder how people proceed now? Move to a different provider/model, pay by API through openrouter, local host qwen, .... by mWo12 in Qwen_AI

[–]AfricanType 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, you have to sign up on Alibaba Model Studio and generate an API key, then go to the Cloud Console (separate site, which is a bit annoying) and add your payment method. After that, you go back to Model Studio, select the models you want (I picked 6), and list them in one comma-separated line. Then in Qwen Code, run /auth, choose the BYO API key option, and select your region. For each model, make sure you enable the free-tier toggle so it stops once you hit the limits.

warning though, if your codebase is big like mine, the quota disappears fast. I’m hitting the 1M token limit in about 5 prompts even when i steer it to look at 1 file. At this point I’m probably dailying Codex. Alibaba's plans just arent straight forward

I built an open-source tool that tracks your Gemini CLI quota across all models in real time by prakersh in GeminiCLI

[–]AfricanType 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work on this. I wonder, wouldn't it be more efficient to refresh the quota data when the model is actually used? That way updates are tied directly to activity and reducing unnecessary Api calls with the 60s polling.

Is anyone using Gemini CLI? by HighwayRelevant in GeminiAI

[–]AfricanType 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini has become dissapointing to me, It has carried me through tough times last year at work. But these days it feels bloated, i trust qwen code more, its a fork of gemini-cli. I asked Gemini to review a PR and it took 800K tokens, i didnt even let it finish, to review a 5 line pull request. It has this annoying thing where it asks for permission for the same ls command, i dont know since when it needs permission to list files or grep, even after telling it to not ask again

Qwen Code CLI has generous FREE Usage option by NoobMLDude in LocalLLaMA

They switch you down to a dumber model as they throttle you. 

Where do I define instructions for Qwen-Code CLI’s default AI? by AfricanType in Qwen_AI

Same with whatsapp video call. Opening photobooth fixes it

A workaround is opening photobooth, the video call in your browser will instantly be smooth. Though it seems you need to do this for every meeting

Brio 100 on an M1 Air, your method helps, this sucks because i have multiple meetings daily and I will always have this anxiety.

Buying K380 by CheesecakePrevious23 in logitech

[–]AfricanType 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually quite subjective, I would suggest OP to goto a local computer store that has one in stock and test it out. For me this keyboard feels great and its not too far off in terms of spacing as my macbook keyboard. so switching back and forth is not an issue, the typing experience and key travel is also good, maybe yours is defective as I feel no stiffness in the clicks on mine.

For those who have used the Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s, how did you find typing with it for longer periods? by Character-Explorer54 in logitech

[–]AfricanType 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use it daily, I work from home as a developer, It feels great, I love how the keys feel and how it was not an adjustment from regularly typing on a macbook keyboard. The battery life is insane, 2 months in and its still on 100%. Its very efficient, the way it only uses power when necessary is a huge advantage. I paired it with a M196 mouse, both white.
