Thank you. I'm not the biggest fan of the Crosspoint web interface, so I'll definitely give this a try.

Go for the X4. Neither supports USB file transfer, so having USB-C charging is convenient without additional things to worry about. Bigger screen is also better if you're a fast reader. The faster you read, the more your reading speed is limited by the page turn speed.

Not the commenter you were replying to, but I have both a Kindle and a X4. No, it does not, but searching for a unique enough phrase (just two or three words) on the current page gets you there fast enough.

35B-A3B means it's a MoE model with 35B total parameters but with only 3B active at once. The one I use is the 27B dense model. Usually, dense models give better responses, but are slower than the MoE. With your 4090, you should be able to get about 50 tok/s with the dense model, which is more than enough for practical use.

If you want to keep using the same model, these settings worked for me.

llama-server -ngl 99 -c 262144 -fa on --cache-type-k q4_0 --cache-type-v q4_0 --host 0.0.0.0 --sleep-idle-seconds 300 -m Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf

For the harness, I use pi (https://pi.dev/). And sometimes, I use the Roo Code plugin for VS Code. (https://roocode.com/)

I prefer simplicity in my tooling, so I can understand them easier. But you might have better luck with other harnesses.

I run a setup similar to yours and I've had the best results with Qwen3.5 27B. Specifically the Q4_K_M variant. https://unsloth.ai/docs/models/qwen3.5

I use llama-server that comes with llama.cpp instead of using ollama. Here are the exact settings I use.

llama-server -ngl 99 -c 192072 -fa on --cache-type-k q4_0 --cache-type-v q4_0 --host 0.0.0.0 --sleep-idle-seconds 300 -m Qwen3.5-27B-Q4_K_M.gguf

You aren't. That's why the "web" link below the title exists.

If you've granted contacts permission to the Facebook app, it could've identified using the phone number.

You mean like the Moto Z and the Z force? Z has a 2600mAh battery and is thinner. Z force has a 3500mAh battery for a 1.8mm addition of thickness. Motorola has done this before with the Droid Maxx.

From what I see, Sony is the only manufacturer currently offering a high end phone at a smaller size with the Xperia Compact line. Still 5 inches tall though.

Looks like Intel is trying to attack the CUDA/Stream market. I'm curious to see how NVidia and ATI will respond.

Is code art?
