Is the model response quality identical to the memory unconstrained model?

Which model do you think currently hits the highest size-to-performance ratio for agentic tasks like tool calling?
febed··on Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
Curious if the same idea could work with gpt-oss-120b? So one could run at least slowly on a Mac
febed··on Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
Can the same be done with qwen3.6-35b-a3b?
febed··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
Interesting project. So I guess the search tool is to crawl Wikipedia for articles? And how do you ensure that the tagging stays within the Wikidata taxonomy? How exactly are you using a geocoder? Sorry, just curious
febed··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
What exactly do you mean by data cleaning

What SDK are you using? Or is it custom?
febed··on I Built a Telegram Client for Pi
Off topic, but apart from pi-tui, is there a recommended TUI library that integrates well with the Pi? I want to have a multi pane TUI experience like lazydocker right inside Pi. Pi-tui is a bit limited.
febed··on Ternlight – 7 MB embedding model that runs in browser (WASM)
Apart from maximizing compatibility, is there a technical reason why GPU is not used if available?
febed··on Ask HN: What are you building first with Fable?
I’d like to build a custom harness - but would that get you banned?
febed··on Remove–AI–Watermarks – CLI and library for removing AI watermarks from images
Since it seems like you would know, could it also work with Non AI static watermarks like repeating oblique lines?
febed··on Go on Embedded Systems and WebAssembly
Does it support ESP32
febed··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
This seems like something that would be very expensive to run. Do you have some representative figures at a particular resolution and frame rate?
febed··on Show HN: Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude Code
It would be helpful if you could add a diagram showing the flow of data. I get the general idea but not how you implemented it.
febed··on Obsidian Sync now has a headless client
I’ve been using Obsidian with Dropbox sync for years. What’s so special about the Obsidian sync?
febed··on Show HN: PgDog – Scale Postgres without changing the app
Does it support extensions like PostGIS?
febed··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
AI is increasing my job security at the moment because the junior developers I work with use AI without discretion. On of them didn’t remember having worked on a feature they built with AI assistance in the recent past. To his credit he admitted he didn’t know how the code worked.
febed··on Making geo joins faster with H3 indexes
Wouldn’t having a spatial index give you most of the performance gains talked about here without needing H3?
febed··on Instant database clones with PostgreSQL 18
If possible could you share a repo/gist with a working docker example? I’m curious how the instant clone world work there.

febed··on Venezuela explained in 10 maps and charts
Interesting how Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia but is not able to capitalize on it due to systemic issues
febed··on I ported JustHTML from Python to JavaScript with Codex CLI and GPT-5.2 in hours
What was your prompt to get it to run the test suite and heal tests at every step? I didn’t see that mentioned in your write up. Also, any specific reason you went with Codex over Claude Code?
febed··on OpenAI are quietly adopting skills, now available in ChatGPT and Codex CLI
Can skills completely replace MCPs? For example, can a skill be configured to launch my local Python program in its own venv. I don’t want Claude to spend time spinning up a runtime
febed··on GPT-5.2
Apart from sounding a bit stiff and informal, I was also surprised at how good Gemini Live mode is in regional Indian languages.
febed··on Windows 10 Deadline Boosts Mac Sales
The biggest issue with Windows 11 for me is the noticeable performance lag in basic apps like Notepad and File Explorer. Simple tasks, like opening files or navigating folders, feel sluggish, and I can visibly see windows rendering in slow motion. I’ve heard this might be due to Windows 11’s UI elements being redrawn over lower level UI. I’m considering switching to Linux as my daily driver.
