AI Development general thread.

I'm going to be spending a little time this weekend with codex using local LLMs with Ollama - anyone have any comment/strong views on the following models?

devstral-small-2:24b
qwen3-coder:30b
qwen3.6:27b
gemma4:31b
qwen3-vl:30b

I would strongly suggest startng with something non critical or a copy of, especially if you are switching model families. I had some strange behavior a while back when I played with it. Also some wierd things between codex and ollama when talking to non openai models ( it used some form of bridge ). Linux based system though which seems to be tail end of openai dev tool support.

Sure, I wasn't planning to use it for any actual work. More evaluation of new from scratch, perhaps some tests modifying a static code base I already used when evaluating vanilla codex. This will be on a Mac Studio.

You can also test ollama cloud llms. One of my experiments is a little agent bot that I have written in Python using tiny llm and discord as a comm medium but it switches between a ollama cloud free high model to local depending on need as I'm running it on a respective potato.
