In my neverending attempts to make these models behave well enough for real usage, @dlsniper shared these non-thinking settings with me this morning and I have to say the model is usable today. That can change by the hour, but it's usable!

I wrote a program that uses OpenCode to have different models write a Go based tic-tac-toe game. This take a wee bit of time to run for all models. The Gemma4 and the Qwen3.8 models always do well. I wish the Qwen3.8 ran faster. Tomorrow Qwen3.8 Flash is being released!

This is a simple example of why you need to be looking at diffs when the model/agent is making code changes. This is why vibe coding is going to cause all sorts of problems over time with codebases. There needs to be a human in the loop.

New #Kronk functionality thanks to the #Bucky integration we did for Whisper models. Download the latest version of Kronk and run the bucky-streaming example. #golang

Here is my setup with an M3/256GB and M4/128GB. I have tailscale setup for ssh. Hopefully soon I will be running a split model across this cluster using Kronk.

The Kronk Model server has a Model Playground that will identify what are the best model and sampling paramaters to use for a given model on your machine. You can also do a quick test for a model, including tool calling and template processing. #golang

Kronk v1.17.7 is close to feature complete for all the things I wanted to accomplish. It's ready for people to start building software against. There is a manual at the root of the project. #golang

This was a lot of work today and I still need a day before I can publish a release but Kronk/Yzma is now powering Cline.

Someone at Prediction Guard was asking the Claude model a question about config and this was the answer! 😀 I feel seen! 😂

When I see this in public it always makes me laugh a bit. I wonder what information people can gleam from this. Saw this at Heathrow.

If you hire me for #golang training look at all the fun things you get.

Working through @thorstenball.com blog post (ampcode.com/how-to-build...) but I want to use a local model running in Ollama. Not a bad start. Example number 10 (github.com/ardanlabs/ai...)
