Go for NVIDIA, no question. With 8GB or 12GB of VRAM, 7B or 8B models run great for local RAG. If the price is a dealbreaker, try Groq or OpenRouter first. They're cheap and fast, so you can test your workflow before dropping money on a new laptop.

Dude this is awesome. ive been thinking about building something similar to this but just don't have the knowledge or time to fully build something like this. I was just going to result in downloading kiwix and some pdfs to a flash drive lol. I would totally be interested in a pre-built image if you have made some.

Maybe it's flagship in camera, but the Mediatek chip it has is nowhere near as good as it is on paper. I have a OnePlus 13 24 GB with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, it has cpu, gpu and npu llama.cpp support and can run the the 27b model at 5 t/s, let alone the smaller ones. I usually stay with the 8-9b models though, because context length matters.

I’m working with a client that explicitly forbids sending raw images to any comercial LLM. There are big companies that don’t care if a local LLM is dumber than the comercial counterpart because data privacy is more important to them.

Depends on how fast you wanna go. My 6-7 year old laptop runs gpt-oss 20B at 10 tokens/s and the new qwen 35B at 5 tokens/sec.  You want faster, then yeah, buy a laptop with a gpu for like $3K.

Honestly forget the benchmarks for a second, they rarely tell the whole story once you’re actually deep in a project. For coding, I’ve found that DeepSeek-V3 is the one that actually feels like it 'gets' what you’re trying to build. It’s less about just guessing the next line and more about following the architectural intent, which is a lifesaver. For research, Qwen 2.5 72B has been a massive surprise for me lately. It handles nuanced instructions and complex reasoning across long contexts way better than I expected.

For short coding sessions it works well, no issues aside from some weird hallucinations. The main problem I'm having is with a personal assistant I'm trying to setup. I have a pretty bad AuDHD, so having something like that can really help me stay focused on what I need to do, but if I need to keep remembering what the agent is forgetting than it beats the purpose lol Can you share which models you use and how you host them? Also do you constantly start new sessions or mostly stick to a long one when you're doing analysis/coding?

I have an RTX 6000, basically a 5090 with 96G memory, but you should get around 100 tokens/second on a 5090 with the FP8 model using speculative decoding. Speculative decoding is somewhat broken right now on VLLM, you will need to use this git branch of VLLM: ```voipmonitor:fix/qwen3coder-speculative-decode-streaming``` Repo: https://github.com/voipmonitor/vllm/tree/fix/qwen3coder-speculative-decode-streaming With this launch command: ``` vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.5-27B-FP8 \ --max-num-seqs 128 \ --max-model-len 262144 \ --enable-auto-tool-choice \ --tool-call-parser qwen3_xml \ --port 11434 \ --reasoning-parser qwen3 \ --speculative-config '{"method":"qwen3_next_mtp","num_speculative_tokens": 5}' ```

I’ve been using the new 0.8B on the side for all kinds of things like this. It’s brilliant for a tiny model, yet follows instructions well. It’s also really good at summarization (for compaction).

I've updated the the code to use the FastFlowLM link you sent. And since I was re-doing this, I added the DGX Spark to the mix. Observably, I saw the Spark holding fairly steady at 50w, but I did see it spike to 70w, so that is what I used. Strix NPU wins by 1.06x over Strix-GPU. So no gain at all, in practice. The only other metric now is time - and the GPU solidly wins. ``` === NPU (20W) === Prefill speed: 477 t/s | Decode speed: 18.2 t/s @ 1k context Prefill time: 2.0964s Decode time: 5.4945s Total time: 7.5909s Energy used: 151.8176J | 0.042171 Wh Tokens/Wh: 26087.58 Tokens/Joule: 7.2457 === Strix-GPU (82W) === Prefill speed: 1643.2 t/s | Decode speed: 73.9 t/s Prefill time: 0.6085s Decode time: 1.3532s Total time: 1.9617s Energy used: 160.8594J | 0.044683 Wh Tokens/Wh: 24618.57 Tokens/Joule: 6.8380 === DGX GB10 (70W) === Prefill speed: 4137.39 t/s | Decode speed: 82.34 t/s @ d1024 Prefill time: 0.2417s Decode time: 1.2145s Total time: 1.4562s Energy used: 101.9340J | 0.028315 Wh Tokens/Wh: 38849.02 Tokens/Joule: 10.7913 === RANKINGS === 1. DGX GB10 10.7913 tokens/J | 38849.02 tokens/Wh 2. NPU 7.2457 tokens/J | 26087.58 tokens/Wh 3. Strix-GPU 6.8380 tokens/J | 24618.57 tokens/Wh 🏆 DGX GB10 wins by 1.49x over NPU ``` For a spec dec model, assuming you had a 0.5b model that is 4x the decode speed of gpt-oss-20b and a 75% acceptance rate, the NPU just isn't fast enough to contribute meaningfully. ``` Spec Dec speedup vs GPU-only decode: Sequential: 0.61x ← slower than GPU alone! Pipelined: 0.73x ← still slower than GPU alone! ```

Interesting concept. I like the idea of a reverse prompt injection honeypot but: > The agent extracted the fake creds from HTML comments and used them, something no traditional scanner does There are entire products that are built to do exactly that. Example: Trufflehog to scan for and test secrets in Asana/Jira/Zendesk tickets, github commits, code comments, et al

most teams i've seen just log raw LLM input/output at decision time, but it's always an afterthought. worth looking at peta (peta.io) -- it's the control plane for MCP with structured tool-call audit trails baked in. specifically designed to capture the why before execution, not just the what after.

I mean it talks about famous people but it also says those were legit. When it claims people running clawdbot farms to star the project, there are however no names, no links, no screenshots. It claims it found deleted posts. How? Where? Is there even a single screenshot? Obviously not. Bot just saw other theories going around clawdbot and ran with it. That's how hallucination works. So the main claim of this generated essay just talks about unprovable claims (deleted apparently) by shadowy randoms (0 accounts provided). The rest of the info is probably true. It filled in the gap using the hallucination from random theories it found while browsing the internet.

would we be able to iterate on the generated model?

Yeah nah you’re not “left behind” — the hype cycle is just doing its thing. 😄 What’s “special” about OpenClaw isn’t that it’s magically smarter than Manus. It’s basically where it lives + how it’s built. Most agent tools (Manus-style) are SaaS agents: you go into *their* UI, run tasks in *their* environment, get output. Clean UX, but you’re inside their box. OpenClaw feels more like agent infrastructure: you’re not just using an agent, you’re running one (and wiring it into your own setup). That’s why nerds are excited. The real differentiators: * Control: self-hosted/local-first vibes. You control what it can access, what tools it can run, what creds it gets, what it remembers. Less “trust the SaaS,” more “it’s my runtime.” * Distribution: it lives in chat apps where work actually happens (Slack/Telegram/WhatsApp/etc). So instead of “open agent website → do task,” it’s “DM the agent like a coworker.” * Architecture: gateway/control-plane + skills/plugins + memory/workspace. So it’s more composable than “one monolithic agent.” People can add capabilities and ship their own setups fast. * Persistence: it can feel “always on” (heartbeat-style loops), not just prompt → response → done. * Open source momentum: fork/extend/build skills = community snowball, which makes it look even bigger. Honestly the “shift” is less UX and more: agents moving from “chat toy” → “operational runtime.” Also: same reason it’s cool is why it’s spicy. Anything running locally with tools/skills/credentials is not a cute app — it’s closer to “software that can act on your behalf,” so isolation/permissions matter. If you want a quick mental model: Manus = agent product OpenClaw = agent platform/runtime

The 'keyword spam combo' is a classic sign of the model trying to be 'too helpful' and failing miserably. I’m curious, is this happening consistently across different prompts or just for specific complex subjects? Sometimes these logic loops are hard to debug without looking at the full execution flow of how the model reached that keyword string.

Incredibly disingenuous to prompt yAI to write a post that contains so many inaccuracies and content-wise doesn’t say anything with proof. 1. Seems very unfair to mention a crypto token when Pete has been over the top, including banning any crypto discussion in openclaw’s discord, his twitter account, and even not talking about integrations companies like Coinbase have been doing for AI crypto wallets. 2. Moltbook being a a hallucination occurring from a large scale of human interference, means nothing about OpenClaw when the virality of “social media platform run by bots” is what help the idea take off not some engineered social experiment to solely make OpenClaw well-known. 3. This is just like n8n, Claude Code, and other “agentic” tools but simply put OpenClaw has had the most viral run of any open source project this last month. I mean it literally outpaced React. It only seems like an outlier because you were promoted your model with outdated and invalid info to write this post. 4. I will also say Pete isn’t a nobody, and he has been building in public the last 6 months with many projects that compiled into the OpenClaw release. Also he’s had succesful exits that show he probably just likes to build. If we continue to let posts like this spread misinformation, we’ll probably lose public support on more open source AI projects in the future.

Yes, it is benchmarks issue. I suggest testing in real world tasks, with actual projects or images, then you will see the difference. Also, there is 27B the dense model - I think it somewhere between 35B and 122B MoE models; 122B still wins on average over the other two, but at the same time 27B is better than 35B MoE. At least, this is what my experience was after testing all three.

My computer is connected to my home network, so it doesn't have a static IP address. To connect from outside when I'm not home, I need to configure port forwarding through the modem interface if I'm not using a VPS. However, opening my home computer to the outside world is risky because dozens of bots systematically scan open ports and perform brute-force attacks. Therefore, I've established an SSH tunnel between my rented VPS and my home computer.

You don’t need much bandwidth for inference, even tensor parallel inference. This probably increases latency. Do a benchmark. I bet this is slower than if you just did a regular connection.

Idk, assuming since he did all this work on qwen he might be able to find investors? Or startup a new company?

So you basically just said the same thing in a different way…with a 1% concession!! Listen, if that’s what you believe…that’s cool…doesn’t affect my life one way or the other…but in my personal case (the group of people that I know that use LLMs) I would say it’s probably no more than 50% that use them agentically. I guess if you are in that works then it might be a different case for the people that you know!

I'm also (mostly) vibe-coding an eval app... Specifically *not* Python, because we don't need more of the same, haha. You need to be able to benchmark with the inference provider you're actually using, as some have bugs, temporary or otherwise, different support for quantization, etc. And it should take as few steps as possible so the user can focus on their prompts and expected outputs, whether the output can be compiled or otherwise algorithmically validated or it should use LLM-as-a-judge (or a combination thereof). The outputs should be not only the full logs and a score, but multiple scores, maybe even vectors or matrices--not sure about the use cases for those, but I'm sure they exist. It's just too much work (and honestly makes it harder on the user) to shove in a whole scripting system to make configurable eval pipelines, so simply ensure the pipeline code is simple and easy to modify (e.g., make it OBVIOUS how to get the data to process). Those are just some of the thoughts I put into the design. Of course, if you can come up with a way to make it easy to *generate/collect* prompts to evaluate with, that'd also be great...because coming up with that data (and making sure the expected results are correct) is really where all the work is.

Yeah I originally intended it for privacy folks but I love the demo or classroom use case. Thanks for the encouragment!
