User optimizes LLM selection with local Qwen3.8 and muse-glimmer

A user on Mastodon shared their process for selecting a new LLM inference aggregator service using duck.ai. They locally ran Qwen3.8 to analyze the service's list of 128 models based on context window, cost per million tokens, and recency, assigning z-scores. Additionally, they used muse-glimmer locally to edit their Zed settings.json to integrate the chosen models into their AI provider, noting that their cost-optimization process has itself been optimized.
