Running Gemma 4 with llama.cpp and Swival:

$ llama-server --reasoning auto --fit on -hf unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL --temp 1.0 --top-p 0.95 --top-k 64

$ uvx swival --provider llamacpp

Done.

LM Studio can absolutely run as as server.

Zig is a well-kept secret for writing highly efficient WebAssembly modules.

4–10× faster than git, compiles to a 142KB WebAssembly binary, and includes a succinct mode that cuts LLM token usage by 70–95%.

I'm developing an agent focused on A2A, support for small models, and privacy (https://swival.dev).

I looked at the leaked code expecting some "secret sauce", but honestly didn't found anything interesting.

I don't get the hype around Claude Code. There's nothing new or unique. The real strength are the models.

Works really great with https://swival.dev and qwen3.5.

It was heavily obfuscated, keeping users in the dark about what they’re installing and running.

It shows that a company you and your organization are trusting with your data, and allowing full control over your devices 24/7, is failing to properly secure its own software.

It's a wake up call.

I systematically use reviewers agents in Swival: https://swival.dev/pages/reviews.html

Even with the same model (--self-review), that makes a huge difference, and immediately highlights how bad the first iterations of an LLM output can be.

New comment by jedisct1 in "Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people"

jedisct1 — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 16:11:24 +0000

Codeberg is great, but I really miss Octobox.

I can't imagine using GitHub without Octobox; it's just impossible to keep track of all the notifications by email.

Unfortunately, Octobox doesn't support GitHub, so I've no idea how to follow projects, even the ones I really want to contribute to.

The US doesn't even have to ask, people already give AI providers all their data and full control over all their devices.

ugrep is my daily driver. https://ugrep.com

The TUI is great, and approximate matches are insanely useful.

For open models with limited context, Swival works really well: https://swival.dev

New comment by jedisct1 in "Chrome DevTools MCP (2025)"

jedisct1 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 11:36:48 +0000

For context extraction, Lightpanda is a really great option. Much faster than Chrome, and it comes with a built-in MCP server.

However, it will not fill forms, etc. But it can be combined with agent-browser to get the best of both worlds: https://swival.dev/pages/web-browsing.html

A tool like Claude Code, Codex, etc. but designed from the beginning to work well with open and local models:

https://swival.dev

It also comes with nice features and benchmarking abilities. For running evals, it has a companion called Calibra https://calibra.swival.dev

jedisct1 — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 21:01:25 +0000

Qwen3.5-27B works amazingly well with https://swival.dev now that the unsloth quants have fixed the tool calling issues.

I still like and mainly use Qwen3-Coder-Next, though, as it seems to be generally more reliable.

jedisct1 — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 10:28:24 +0000

Qwen3-Coder-Next also remains amazing as a local model.

If you want to use small models for coding, I'd highly recommend Swival https://swival.dev which was explicitly optimized for these.
