llama.cpp + pi.dev

i have this exact same machine and 3.8-27b runs well, albeit slow at about 6 t/s.
i have it complete tasks in the background as i work on other things.
for comparison, my 3090 runs it at about 60 t/s.

This is not my experience at all. Even the Nous Research guys have stated that "Qwen3.6-27B is the canonical local model to use Hermes Agent with" [https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1sz2y76/ama_wit...]. I am finding the same when used with Pi and OpenCode.
Gemma will just stop mid-tool call. It's been slower and I've had to reduce context size to run it. Qwen3.6 27b has been rock solid using club 3090's single card setup for agentic use -- https://github.com/noonghunna/club-3090/blob/master/docs/SIN...

I would purchase [2] used 3090's as close to $600 as you can. The 3090 still remains the price-performance king.

Give this project a try. I've been using it with promising results.

Not that unusual in the context of trying to outshine anything that could be released tomorrow at llamacon.

I built a site that saves time by summarizing YouTube videos or news articles by simply inputting the URL. The tool preserves the original context, allowing users to ask follow-up questions.
I'd like to continue building fun projects like this until I find a market. I work in Phase 1 clinical trials and the end goal would be to implement some of these efficiencies into health technologies.

- Install Shelter from F-Droid
- Install the Aurora store apk inside of Shelter
- Open Aurora store in Shelter's work profile and use like a normal play store and all apps installed within Aurora remain sandboxed

Not mentioned here, and more importantly in my opinion, are Burry's bets on US Treasury bonds crashing.

I can confirm that this method worked at least until early March of this year.

While inside China, it is virtually impossible to work in any capacity, in any field, without using WeChat.
Outside China, it is the most reliable means of communication to people without access to unrestricted internet. This has become even more difficult within the past year with the blocking of Shadowsocks proxies. You are unlikely to have friends with the ability or knowledge to install v2ray+vmess+websocket+tls for a reliable, unrestricted connection.
Your next best option is Facetime/iMessage, in my experience.

I am so happy Jitsi exists. My friends and I have a room that we regularly pop into to say hi or play games together.
The mobile app I downloaded through F-Droid works incredibly well, and for those of you Firefox users who aren't having the best experience, I recommend using the Electron desktop app [https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases].
I've been using the Jitsi Electron app in conjunction with OBS + the VirtualCam plugin to share games, videos and my desktop. Hopefully I can convert more Zoom users.

Small routers exist. Take for example this battery powered GL-MiFi [1] LTE router. Comes embededded with OpenWRT so your LTE connection can utilize Wireguard, Shadowsocks, OpenVPN, etc. Would pair well with something like the PinePhone.

I've had the same issues and a similar experience after using Signal the past few years. It took so much effort to convince my closest friends to install Signal and the single most frustrating thing it would do is force us back to SMS because sending of encrypted messages would continuously fail.
What really sucks is that there's no hope of me convincing them to switch again if a better messenger were to come along.
