[Video] Running Qwen 3.8 27B Ternary Bonsai 2 on my 16GB Mac:
This is a brief test of a heavily quantized version of Qwen 3.8 27B, fitting in 7GB on disk. Impressive, but not 98% of the original [...]

95% of my blog is coming from agents now. They didn't ask for permission, those bots, so I decided to make the AI agents pay.
Open source AI is here to stay, so let's see what open weights models you can realistically run on a medium laptop as of September 2026.
In a rather disturbing essay, Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, urges to slow down AI dissemination (not training) and ban open source AI.
It's very easy to vibe code an entire SaaS these days. But the cost of building going down doesn't mean ALL the apps will disappear.
Vibe coders are not coders. And that might be their unfair advantage. For these lazy, creative people I built a vibe coding toolkit.
You can now share your Grok bots. I had early access to the feature and I published my own before they went live. I explain how [...]
Grok Bot quick review: it looks simple, but at the same time useful, just like the first iPhone. Agents talking to each other feels magical.
Use Grok Build with local and OpenRouter free models alongside Grok-4.6. Copy-paste config.toml for Gemma, Qwen, and GLM — same harness, switch with /model.
In the final episode I talk about open weight model harnesses, or how to actually talk to your local AI. From llama-cpp chat to Pi, or [...]
In this episode I talk about running an open weights model locally. Two main hardware lines: Apple Silicon and NVIDIA, both good.
Episode 2 of the mini series about how to choose an open weights model, this time how to choose an open weights model provider.
How to choose and open weights model: the difference between slow, dumb and laggy - and state of the art inference, like Claude or Grok.
AI watermarking is not baked into model weights, it works at the generation level, by sampling different tokens, paired with a private key.
"AI watermarking now traces Claude text back to you. Learn why it survives copy-paste, how it locks you in, and two ways to keep your writing [...]
See how to combine entry-level AI subscriptions and free models for Fable-level vibe coding, solid limits, and high productivity on an $80 monthly budget.
I kept the Claude Code interface I like and routed Grok's model underneath it via proxy. Same workflow, video generation included, $35/month instead of $100. Here's [...]
Running local private AI models is now realistic, affordable, and urgent. Here's what hardware to use, which open-source models are ready, and why you shouldn't wait.
I stopped prompting my AI agents and started writing loops instead. Here's what a 50-line Python audit loop taught me about trust, failure, and where humans [...]
After using Claude (Opus 4.6 to 4.8) for roughly 5 months, I'm experiencing with MiniMax 3. A full month to decide which is best for coding.
