[ Video ] Running Xiaomi MiMo V2.6 (Qwen 9B distill) on my 16 GB MacBookPro
This week I'm testing Xiaomi MiMo V2.6, Qwen 9b distill, on a 16GB M1 MacBookPro. It works good enough for text generation and light coding

Pane Shatter is my latest iOS game. A tiny anti stress game where you can launch a steel ball and "break" the screen of your phone.
This week I'm testing Google Gemma 4 E4B on a 16GB M1 MacBookPro. It works surprisingly well for text generation and even light coding.
Grok 4.7 was launched yesterday and I had a chance to test it. It has better prompt adherence, it's more thorough, but also token greedy.
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 [...]
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.
AI is a great machine, if you treat it like a machine: ask clear outcomes, don't share feelings. Good guys vibe code, bad guys write specs.
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.
What is this AGI, that everybody talks about? Artificial General Intelligence isn't vibe coding, it's solving problems we haven't solved yet.
A one-trillion-dollar valuation is no joke. Anthropic and OpenAI are both at this level, and they are both preparing for IPOs. Of course, expectations are high. [...]
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.
I'm fortunate enough to have witnessed a few key moments in our recent tech history. One of them is web 3, the dot com revolution. Back [...]
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.
Publishing ten apps in four months sounds good. And it is good. It means the bottleneck is no longer building the app. With AI-assisted coding, small [...]
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 [...]
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.
Claude Mythos may indeed by a good model, but there's a lot of fear mongering around it. Maybe it's connected to the upcoming Anthropic IPO?
