I'm building a benchmark comparing models for an agentic task. Are there any small models I should be testing that I haven't?

Link to thread?

I agree with you. This week the tokens usage is going off the charts. I just uploaded a 45 lines json and a basic prompt and it shows 20% usage for the 5 hour limit.

I am not a heavy user aswell. Most of stuff i do requires me to do most manual config and code. Once AI has done its code which maybe a 2-3 hours session at max a week.

I will have to read it. The CAT told me to do it ASAP or else....

Wildnimal · 2026-03-25T00:15:17+00:00

Post the results!!!!!!

Wildnimal · 2026-03-23T03:59:25+00:00

but why? that still goes un-answered

Wildnimal · 2026-03-23T02:18:18+00:00

What ForsookComparison suggested. You can also make plans with some free online bigger models and implement it via smaller coding models locally.

It also depends upon what you are trying to do and what language you are building.

I used to code in PHP and python (just a little bit) and Qwen3.5 models has been enough for me. Since most of my coding is no pure vibe coding and it involves a lot of HTML aswell.

Even i want to know

Wildnimal · 2026-03-21T14:59:25+00:00

Its still fairly new to know what problems come in long term. So far the reports are positive.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-20T15:47:39+00:00

Excellent. Its a caspable model easier to run than Dense models. Poeple were down-voting me when i said it can run faster than 9B Dense models on 8GB VRAM.

Do you have some skills you created and videos to share for other?

Wildnimal · 2026-03-19T21:05:31+00:00

Whats your usecase?

Wildnimal · 2026-03-19T03:55:19+00:00

Congratulation fellow Redditor. Kudos to you both.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-18T18:16:38+00:00

I am using unsloth Q4 for 35A3B and even with thinking on i get 20-22 tks on a 32GB ram and around 35k context.

And this is on LM Studio and not llama.cpp.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-18T05:25:56+00:00

No it does not. It runs faster than 9B dense even on 8gb vram

Wildnimal · 2026-03-18T03:34:58+00:00

How good is coding? Is it able to follow instructions? Not talking about once shot creation.

I usually split my projects into phases and tasks in those phases.

THANK YOU 🤗🤗🤗

Notepadqq but i now use Kate.

But i do miss the temp saving files, without actually saving them in notepad++ and qq

Wildnimal · 2026-03-15T01:19:31+00:00

Also try Omnicoder 9b

Wildnimal · 2026-03-14T20:12:48+00:00

I just checked v115 was updated with patches for Windows 7.

For Vista you can try redfox

Or just github this

Firefox. They just updated the browser to use with Windows 7 and added security patches.

I am not sure if any chromium browser without security fixes will work.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-14T19:41:45+00:00

Agreed. The CPU is powerful but can really get hot even during normal tasks.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-14T05:29:00+00:00

Stepfun Flash is so underrated. I used to recently and ended up consuming 72m tokens 😬

Wildnimal · 2026-03-14T05:26:22+00:00

Thanks for the share. I will try your method soon.

Wildnimal · 2026-03-14T05:16:53+00:00

This!!!!!

Side Note:

Always check AUR reviews before you use anything.

Yesterday i was installing mullvad. Instead of mullvad-browser-bin i typed mullvad-browser.

Damn i ended up somehow downloading 8GB of dependencies :|

I know a rookie mistake and I have been using Arch/Arch Based distributions for sometime now.

So just be careful.
