Totally agree with everything you said in your post. BUT, try Qwen3.8:27b or GLM-anything. Try oh-my-pi (https://omp.sh) for programming in place of Hermes. Use Hermes for tasks. Not sure how much (v?)RAM your hardware has.. I've got 24gb and had to switch from Ollama to use qwen3.8:27b, even though 3.6:27b and 3.6:35b (same one you've got) ran fine. 3.8, even smaller ones, would just stop mid thinking on the very first turn. I'm using some build off github.. github.com/MiaAI-Lab has arepo for it that says 16gb nvidia gpus github.com/syv-ai/HyperQwen is an interesting looking one but it didn't work for me immediately and I havem't gotten back to it to find out why. Oh, also try to keep "reasoning" on low or 'none'. Try GLM (whatever you can find that fits) whike you're still on Ollama, too. I got some 4.7-flash-ablitterated and then some really tiny 5.3 that was impressive for how small it was. --- ■ Synchronet ■ TIRED of waiting 2 hours for a taco? GO TO TACOPRONTO.bbs.io .
