and since then i've built countless applications for fractions of the cost of the initial learning period :) if you need some help let me know. i've learned a lot of the last 8 months of build non stop every single day.

Sure, if you need help building a local agentic setup, feel free to reach out 😊
i used ollama and open source models in testing and they just cannot be compared to claude opus 4.5. maybe in a year things will be different.
What weight sizes? I was playing around with 8b models and they suck.
Above 14-20b they are extremely useful.
They've written entire apicstions for me. A lot of pollerama is local models, they are not good for vibing like Claude sonnet. But if you know how to code and plan to review each line, like I do with my products, then it's great and you get infinite generations.
8 and 12. ill try larger ones and see if they're more useful, but honestly i don't mine playing for claude while it's leading the pack.
