  1. Old Mac Pro still proving its worth

    An old Mac Pro, originally costing nearly £10,000, is being repurposed for local LLM work thanks to new Linux drivers that enable its D700 GPUs. The machine, equipped with 64GB of RAM and 24 cores, can now run models via llama.cpp, achieving usable speeds for tasks like planning. Notably, the user found that Qwen 3.5 9B provided superior planning output compared to Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6. AI

    IMPACT Demonstrates that older, specialized hardware can still be viable for local LLM inference with software updates.

  2. Want Built a React-style looping agent with small LLMs (Qwen 3.5 9B / Gemma4) + LangGraph?

    A user is experimenting with building a React-style looping agent system using smaller LLMs like Qwen 3.5 9B and Gemma 4, integrated with LangGraph. The agent is designed to handle instructions and images, with tools whose outputs can feed into subsequent tool inputs. The primary challenges encountered include excessive reasoning token generation from Qwen 9B, unstable recursive loops, and truncated or improperly returned outputs after several iterations. AI
