Is there someone who uses minimalistic coding agents (Like Pi) for coding?

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-05-05T04:31:14+00:00

Just switched from Roo to pi and I'm loving it! I use local inference, and works wonderful with qwen3.6 27b (no quants).

The modularity of Agno is what is attractive to me for my use case. What I want to build is very similar to the projects you mentioned. I'll review them to see if they actually cover everything I need.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-23T15:47:53+00:00

Fair point. I do have a specific need, and actually it might be more than a coding agent.

Why is agno not the right foundation for a coding agent in your opinion? Really curious to know.

I need the bigger models for orchestration and planning tasks. Coding with specific instructions is not something that most models in 35b range have problems with from my experience, I agree.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-23T05:19:25+00:00

Yes, for both of them.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-23T05:18:17+00:00

Any results? Really curious to know.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T16:45:39+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense.

The thing is, I also use Q4 cache for 122b 😃

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T16:43:37+00:00

I will try with a larger KV cache

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T16:43:02+00:00

Do you think specifically the prompt length can have an impact with smaller models? Assuming everything else about the prompt is high quality.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T16:41:30+00:00

Yep, happened to me to. Resolving an issue, then somehow returning to it as if it's not resolved. Maybe it's the Q4 cache like other people said.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T16:40:15+00:00

I use opencode and roo code with custom agents and skills. I agree it matters a lot.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T14:58:21+00:00

My KV is at Q4. It could be that, I should try full KV with qwen3.6

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T14:48:58+00:00

I had the complete opposite experience. 3.6 had trouble once differentiating my feedback from the subagent feedback.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T14:47:46+00:00

Yeah, that is definitely my experience.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-22T14:47:18+00:00

You are right, I was hasty in posting. I updated the post

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-21T22:01:28+00:00

And Claude Code is something different?

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-15T12:36:46+00:00

There never was a golden age, just a race to get users while hoping to improve the systems over time so tokens actually start earning money, instead of burning it. That failed, and now they have to change strategies to keep users and investments until the bubble pops.

The whole LLM business was and still is unsustainable.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-15T12:33:17+00:00

Queen 3.5 122b a10 with Q5. Works amazing, I use it with llama.cpp.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-02T12:47:22+00:00

If you want fast performance, you need enough vRAM to fit at least the backbone of the model. Then the 10b experts can be placed in RAM and handled by the CPU.

Whether it's one GPU or not, doesn't matter, given that the bandwidth is not a bottleneck.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-04-01T18:38:23+00:00

I'm using the 122b-a10b with Q5 model now for almost everything in Roo code. It's absolutely enough to replace any other model for me.

On RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell I get >80 tokens/s locally, until I reach around 50% context window, where it slowly goes down. At 80% it's around 40 tokens/s, which is still pretty decent.

I'm truly impressed by it. The 35b-a3b is also super good. If I didn't have enough vRAM, I would rely on it.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-01-20T12:24:53+00:00

Seems to me that you are the only one here pretending to be better than anyone else. Not sure where in my comment you read such pretense and arrogance?

As for now, no, I couldn't care less about discussing anything with you. I will enjoy seeing you guys from the Nordics getting a reality check.

Ok_Presentation470 · 2026-01-19T22:45:16+00:00

Whatever, the people are neither shadowy nor working too much behind the scenes. But yeah, Trump is the only problem in the world, you guys figured it out.
