Lightweight agent to use on laptop?

Hi there. I have a Lenovo Yoga laptop (16GB LPDDR5, AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS, integrated GPU). I have downloaded Ollama and installed Qwen 2.5coder:3b llm. I have tried OpenClaw, and Qwen Code but it seems like there’s a lot of processing happening behind the scenes. When I talk to the llm directly (via “ollama run qwen”) the output it generally fast but when talking to the agents I’ve downloaded, it’s really slow and occasionally times out. I’m new to AI and wanting to basically have things running locally so I can build a project/practice a few things etc. is there any lightweight agents available for laptops? The cherry on top for me would be to interact with the agents over WhatsApp/telegram/email etc. Thank you submitted by /u/TutorSome9994 [link] [comments]
