For some reason the latest Claude Desktop release from Anthropic threw off its Claude branding and charm to chase after bland Codex Desktop app look and feels.

Maybe they think OpenAI is doing something right?

Last time I looked Copilot's context window for Anthropic models was something like 150,000 tokens only.

New comment by hooch in "How to run Qwen 3.5 locally"

hooch — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 05:58:48 +0000

Changed into a directory recently and fired up the qwen code CLI and gave it two prompts: "so what's this then?" - to which it had a good summary across stack and product, and then "think you can find something todo in the TODO?" - and while I was busy in Claude Code on another project, it neatly finished three HTML & CSS tasks - that I had been procrastinating on for weeks.

This was a qwen3-coder-next 35B model on M4 Max with 64GB which seems to be 51GB size according to ollama. Have not yet tried the variants from the TFA.

Too right. Drilling into the domain from first principles and with critical faculties enabled unlocks so much more value, because the engineer can then see much better ways to solve problems.

It's just how the memory controllers work in Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture.

You also get much higher memory bandwidth as you move up the scale, from 153GB/s at the bottom end to 546GB/s at the top end.

tldr;

Before:

    let process = Process()
    process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/bin/ls")

    let pipe = Pipe()
    process.standardOutput = pipe

    try! process.run()
    process.waitUntilExit()
    let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
    if let output = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
        print(output)
    }

After:

    let result = try await run(
        .name("ls"),
        arguments: ["-1"],
        output: .string(limit: 1 << 20)
    )
    print(result.standardOutput ?? "")
