My setup is two RTX 5070 Ti 16GB cards (the second one is on an OCuLink dock) with 64GB of RAM, Ollama on Windows, and the agent runs on pi in WSL. Until last night the daily model was Qwen3.8 27B UD-

Whenever I feed codebases into local models (Qwen, DeepSeek R1) or API models, the biggest annoyance is prompt pollution: - Lockfiles (`Cargo.lock`, `package-lock.json`) burning 30,000+ tokens for zer
How is JEV any different from using an embeddings model? I really will appreciate if someone can explain this to me - because I have yet to see the difference. I'll even give you my JEV server for fre

For the last few months, I ran DeepSeek v4.0 flash (NVFP4). First 0731, then visionexp because it was a free improvement. I got around 65 tps decode and almost 2k prefill, and ran 4-5 agents in parall
