Gotcha, I think you can configure models and params with ollama, think that's possible here, or would need to go the more advanced llama method?

qwen3.5 Qwen 3.5 is a family of open-source multimodal models that delivers exceptional utility and performance.

Is that possible with ollama? I'm still new to local models and ollama makes that easy for me still. I saw there is Qwen3.5 ollama.com/library/qwen... and tried the lowest one on a M4 but was still slow out of the box.

Jumped from 20 TPS to 80 TPS โšก on my M4 Pro.

The trick is that this version uses a MoE architecture with 3 billion active parameters. That makes it way faster.

I was running the base model via GGUF (ollama), and now running on MLX (vlm - because this is a vision model too).

Wow! Where are you able to host this? Or are you using Firebase Test Lab for the device? That's amazing.

I think I'm going to be blogging more about it at some point here. Will be sure to share when I do but basically every plan had a number prefix like 0019-...MD and had metadata as frontmatter

Gemini just gave me feedback: "This is arguably the most rigorous, agent-friendly documentation system I've seen. Your repository is now fully structured for rapid, autonomous development." - We are all totally having to change the way "we" work to make "them" effective. ๐Ÿค–

Will need to do a follow up for more recent. Mainly using sub agents and Opus 4.6

Same, but it's been happening for all parts of the day. Before making dinner or going to bed, etc. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

The last month has been a non-stop (nights & weekends) wild ride of coding with agents and shipping. I've been genuinely excited and learned so much. Definitely am burned out, and glad for the long holiday weekend with fun things to do and no computer. So many ideas that will have to wait. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Matterport probably. Been the standard for real estate a while and has a phone app to do it.

Estimated timelines showing how long this will take in person-days

So... this work got done in under an hour using this strategy w/Firebender and multiple parallel agents using Claude Opus 4.5. How long will it be before these estimates get updated to new agent development strategies in these models? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿค–

I'm at about 12 "You're absolutely right!" messages today from Claude. I guess I've still got a job for a little while.

I always thought it was CloudFare from hearing people mention it, but it's CloudFlare it seems. Just in case anyone else didn't realize that either... ๐Ÿซฃ

I understand the feeling. Lately I'm letting it make me faster and I steer and correct it.
