Full agree. I until very recently thought AI tools of today were limited to prohibitively expensive high end hardware hosted in data centers.
I was surprised and amazed to get "decent" (with the expectations set right / low) coding performance out of Qwen3.5-9B on a decidedly medium end Radeon 9070 paired with a 5700x3d and 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
We can finally reason with and "talk" to our hardware.
