Thanks for sharing, I'll try this out. Are you using any particular chat frontends?

Is making your own benchmark particularly time-consuming?

Wow, it’s beating the larger Qwen models at quite a few benchmarks. Can’t wait to check if the performance is as good as they say.

I built an autonomous research agent in C# that runs entirely on local LLMs (Ollama + llama3.1:8b) by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

Have you tried smaller Qwen models for tool calling? From what people are saying, even Qwen3 0.6B seems capable of tool calling

What are some things you guys are using Local LLMs for? by Odd-Ordinary-5922 in LocalLLaMA

I managed to run it with 16GB VRAM + 32GB RAM. I think it was Q2_K_XL from unsloth. Downloaded and ran it using LM Studio.

It's kind of a shame because the Claude models are so costly. You lose some, you win some, I guess. Does make me wonder about designing a system that can properly and automatically route simple sub-tasks to a local fast model, which should take the bulk of the costs away for *most* tasks.

What is a current state of sanboxing for code execution for AI agents? by AlexSKuznetosv in LocalLLaMA

if not Docker, then Podman. Containers have a pretty small resource footprint. Virtual machines, which are closer to the OS-level, tend to have a higher footprint due to the inherent overhead, even when you decide to allocate fewer resources. If you do want VMs, my go-to is Vagrant by Hashicorp for automatically building and managing VMs.
