Make sure you own your AI. AI in the cloud is not aligned with you; it's aligned with the company that owns it.

I run Claude Code with Qwen3 Coder Flash locally on my MacBook Air. It works offline, zero cloud, zero internet, zero EU AI Act anxiety. No limit with all tokens on the house.
It’s not great, not terrible- adequate performance for an on device AI agent chewing through code on a 1.24 kg laptop. I wrote an interpreter to broker peace between Claude Code and my local AI runtime.

XBai o4 claims to beat Claude Opus 4 and o3-mini, and they provide verifiable proof. My skepticism circuits overloaded, but my local AI FOMO module screamed louder.
I've thrown this 33B monoblock LLM onto a single GPU and used Roo Code for some… let’s call it “vibe testing”. It’s terrifyingly competent. As an architect, it’s the best open-weight model I’ve touched this side of 2025.

We’ve reached a point where on device AI coding that is free, offline, and capable isn’t just a theoretical possibility; it’s sitting on my lap, barely warming my thighs.
My local MacBook Air setup includes a Qwen3 Coder Flash with a 1M context, Cline in a VSCode IDE. No internet, no cloud, no ID verification- this is the forbidden tech.
Current stats:
All agentic tools work great local, sandboxed, and MCP
OK model output precision
17 tokens/sec. Not great, not terrible
65K tokens context, the model can do 1M, but let’s be real, my MacBook Air would probably achieve fusion before hitting that smoothly
Standard backend and cache off for the test
All inference and function calling happen locally, offline, untethered. The cloud didn’t even get a memo.
