What for? Cost savings? Something else?

I always find it amusing when people would rather spend $200 / mo than let their laptop fan turn on.

Yes! And we are using it to build Rig AI to make it easier for anyone to do it too!

We are post training qwen 3.6 and combining it with a custom inference engine and harness to get the most out of a smaller model.

Smaller models can already outperform SOTA and massive models on specific tasks / domains.

I like Zed for this. We are considering autocomplete for Rig after we launch our agent. Local would be 1000x faster.

Individual experience is rarely an accurate representation of the broader system.

Completely agree. It amazes me how some folks think AI is unlike any other technology revolution. History repeats.

I’ve been talking to a lot of engineers about how they use AI in their day to day and it’s dramatically different than what you see from the hypers.

The vast majority use one agent at a time and careful step through code. The main benefit they report is often about researching the codebase and possible solutions.
