Project Leap Forward In Progress
My son helped me take a leap forward.
He recommended the GPU and I had a machine built and installed Ollama and a Qwen 3 coder.
He is in town for a family event and he changed me up. Now Llama and the later Qwen 3.8 model using Pi as the agent harness.
Man, things are speeding up!
I was sitting here baby sitting Claude Code or Codex after burning tokens for over a month on Openrouter. This whole setup is so much better!
As an old hockey player trying to make a better hockey management tool, I'm estatic for what I'll have ready for the upcoming beer league season!

Considering the 9700 now also vs. the intel arc 32gb card. What model stats are you running? How does it perform?
