…So, one shower thought led to another, and I tried to build a completely local voice assistant workflow that’s powered by none other than my Raspberry Pi 5. I decided to…
…Related I tested Qwen3 Coder Next against four other local AI coding models, and the gap was embarrassing Qwen3 Coder Next is one of the best local models out there, and it…
…Then models like Qwen 3.5 9B started landing, and the bar for "usable local AI on modest hardware" actually lowered a bit. I've been running it on 8GB VRAM for…
…Qwen3-Coder has consistently topped my benchmarks I couldn't find a better local model for Python development If you've spent any amount of time experimenting with local coding models over…
…One of my tests, though, proved just how incredible local models have become. There are reasons to believe the hype when it comes to the Qwen models; I've had consistently good…
…I tested seven local models on my Ugreen DH4300 Plus, ranging from the tiny FunctionGemma 270M to Phi-4 Mini 3.8B, with several Qwen and LFM models in between. I didn…
