Okay, after spending the day with DS4 and DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 on a single GB10, I can honestly say I’m extremely surprised at how far local AI has come.

Finally, I managed to spend the morning on the GX10/DGX Spark and DS4. First of all, I want to focus on pushing this little monster to the max and see how much performance I can squeeze out of it. Initial tests are extremely promising (thanks @MiaAI_lab).

The incredible thing is that Google just dropped a model that outperforms o1 with reasoning AND sonnet for coding. I need to test this thing out better, but so far I am impressed.

I honestly think that Gemini 2.5 is on a league of its own. None of the other models, at least when it comes to programming, can compete (currently).

Great article from @arslan.io pretty much summarizing why AI is now absolutely relevant for software engineers. Just one minor note: try also aider.chat, it rocks and integrates perfectly with nvim.

So with QwQ and Gemma 3 we are finally seeing models <= 32B parameters that can be used for non trivial tasks. Far from SOTA? Yes. But far from the old generation of smaller models as well.

Gemma3 is surprisingly good. Local models starts to look like viable alternatives, super exciting.
