Okay this is actually pretty cool. Gemma 4 is a nice little model and I've really enjoyed playing around with it. At 1800 tok/s turns are essentially instant, it's a bit of a trip

I don't think so, at least not if you're using agents smartly for software engineering and not just firing prompts off. There's the default way agents build stuff, but they're very steerable and it's easy, with hard rules (like linting) and soft rules (like skills and AGENTS.md), to guide them to actually make half decent software architectures however you like.

Minimum 24GB :') Next Macbook I get will be maxed out, whether it bankrupts me or not. I didn't picture personal AI getting as powerful as it has 18 months ago.

Would increased solar be good for balancing the load of people using aircon, as solar energy gen and AC use kind of happen concurrently?
