I Tested Ornith's New 35b MoE on Mac — Here's How It Goes

I Tested Ornith's New 35b MoE on Mac — Here's How It Goes

I tested Ornith-1.5 35B MoE at 4-bit on MLX with one-shot prompts: invoice vision, a tower defense game, a spreadsheet with live formulas, and a Three.js FPS. Vision hit 98%, the games and spreadsheet mostly worked, and Three.js broke every time on a single missing character. All prompts and results are in the GitHub repo linked in the comments. šŸ‘‰ All tests in my Github repo: https://github.com/Barty-Bart/ornith-1.5-35b-tests.git šŸ‘‰ One-on-one coaching, team coaching, or agent builds: https://workingmodels.ai/start šŸ‘‰ Learn how to build 3D animated websites with Qwen 3.8: https://youtu.be/0Yin3Er9DX0 šŸ‘‰ Try Higgsfield here: https://higgsfield.ai/s/higgsfield-general-campaign-bartslodyczka-DWgNWR šŸ“¬šŸ‘€ Subscribe to my blog for more tests, tips, and walkthroughs: https://blog.workingmodels.ai/ šŸ‘‰ Watch all my Local AI videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi7jtY2ZZqRaidYBIucDnKnhD7Jmt-2sY šŸ‘‰ Connect with me: https://x.com/bartslodyczka

You Can Now Build $10,000 Websites Using Qwen 3.8 27B (Ultimate Guide)

In this video I show you how to build animated websites using Qwen 3.8 27b, pi.dev, and Higgsfield AI. Try Higgsfield here: https://higgsfield.ai/s/higgsfield-general-campaign-bartslodyczka-DWgNWR This is my take on the popular 'Build $10k Website With Claude Code' video format, where we use local AI models to do the work. I built this site using Qwen 3.8 27b 4-bit MLX and Higgsfield AI. We used Higgsfield to generate our images and videos. The video was needed so we could add the scroll-scrub effect within the website, where as you scroll, you flick through the frames, and give the 3d visual. Very surprised with the 4-bit quant on this build as I didn't run into any issues. No looping, no errors with code generation. And in general, Qwen was smart, capable, and proactive. I also ran this same process with DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 and it was just as amazing.

Qwen 3.8 27B vs DeepSeek V4 Flash — I Built the Same Apps With Both Locally

Qwen 3.8 27B vs DeepSeek V4 Flash — I Built the Same Apps With Both Locally

Qwen 3.8 27B just dropped, so I ran it against DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731, a model ten times its size, with both downloaded and running locally on my Mac Studio. I gave them three coding tasks of increasing difficulty: a weather dashboard pulling live data, a tower defense game, and an Excel style spreadsheet with working formulas. The 27B model held its own and on the hardest test it was the only one that produced something that actually worked. šŸ‘‰ Github Repo for all tests, results, machine specs, and model performance specs: https://github.com/Barty-Bart/qwen-vs-deepseek-local-coding šŸ‘‰ One-on-one coaching, team coaching, or agent builds: https://workingmodels.ai/start šŸ“¬šŸ‘€ Subscribe to my blog for more tests, tips, and walkthroughs: https://blog.workingmodels.ai/ šŸ‘‰ Watch all my Local AI videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi7jtY2ZZqRaidYBIucDnKnhD7Jmt-2sY šŸ‘‰ Connect with me: https://x.com/bartslodyczka

Local AI Just Got Dangerous: DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 Tutorial

In this video I run DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 locally on my Mac Studio M3 Ultra and test whether it can do real work. It scores 52 on the Frontier Language Model Intelligence Index, which puts it level with GPT 5.4 and ahead of Claude Sonnet 4.6, so I plug it into the Pi agent harness (pi.dev) and give it three tasks I do every week: diagnose and fix a broken n8n workflow and make it production ready, build a multi part inventory reorder report from Excel, and audit a ClickUp workspace to find repe

LM Studio Just Got a Huge Upgrade — This Changes Everything (Bionic)

In this video I give you an overview of LM Studio Bionic. Bionic is a free local AI app that replaces Claude Code and Claude Cowork with built-in Work Mode, Code Mode, real-time voice transcription, MCP integrations, and local web search. You can run both local AI models you download on your computer, and other open models like Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 and more. This is a super exciting new local AI app!

Qwen 3.6 + Pi Agent: Build Your Own AI Assistant (Full Setup)

In this video I build an AI employee that runs my customer support inbox using Pi (pi.dev), the open source agent harness that powers OpenClaw. It's powered by a local AI model running through LM Studio (Qwen 3.6 35B), reads new Zendesk tickets, and sends customer responses. Then I set up a cron job with Pi's print mode so it works 24/7 on its own, and the same setup works for Gmail or Outlook, fully local and private with no API costs. šŸ¤” Do you want a course on this topic? https://www.working

New Agentic Coding Model Ornith 9B — Is It Worth Running Locally?

New Agentic Coding Model Ornith 9B — Is It Worth Running Locally?

In this video I test out the new open source agentic coding model Ornith 1.0 9b on my 16gb M4 Mac Mini. We load it up in Lm Studio and understand the full memory requirement for weights + context, we plug it into pi agent harness to run it through a coding task, we then compare results to that of the bigger Ornith 35b model, and finally we understand if the 9b is worth running locally for coding tasks. šŸ“¬šŸ‘€ Subscribe to my blog for more tests, tips, and walkthroughs: https://blog.workingmodels.

Gemma 4 12B + Hermes Agent: Build Your Own AI Assistant

In this video I use Claude Code to set up Hermes Agent on a 16GB Mac Mini and plug it into a local Gemma 4 12B model, so the whole thing runs 24/7 with no API bills. I let Claude do everything from the terminal: changing the Mac's settings to stay always-on, installing and wiring up the agent, and connecting it to 3rd Party Tools so the agent actually does real work. šŸ“¬šŸ‘€ Subscribe to my blog for more tests, tips, and walkthroughs: https://blog.workingmodels.ai/ šŸ‘‰ Connect with me: https://x.c

Claude Code + LM Studio: FREE Unlimited AI Agents (Don't Pay $200/month)

In this video I run Claude Code's new Dynamic Workflows feature to spin up 1000 AI agents on one task, completely free, using local models in LM Studio instead of the paid Anthropic API. I walk through the full setup start to finish: the Claude desktop Gateway, loading a local Gemma model, the alias trick that makes Claude find it, adding web search with an MCP, and firing a /deep-research workflow that runs hundreds of autonomous agents on your own computer. Works with Ollama and cloud models l

Claude Cowork Is a Game Changer (If You Do This)

Claude Cowork Is a Game Changer (If You Do This)

Most people use Claude Cowork at a fraction of what it can do because they treat it like a chatbot. You ask, it answers, you still do the work. The shift happens when you stop running sessions and start running projects, with connectors, context, and scheduled tasks wired in so Cowork carries the work for you. In this video I walk through how to think differently and set up your first real project. šŸ“¬šŸ‘€ Subscribe to my blog for more tests, tips, and walkthroughs: https://blog.workingmodels.ai/
