🔴 💬 Is the current Open Weight LLM model viable in the long term? — score 82 Sources: reddit/r/LocalLLaMA

I've been thinking about this lately. The Qwen team has released several new models recently, but they appear to be holding back the 122B, 35B, 27B, and 9B versions for now. One possible reason is that these larger models performed so strongly that the team chose not to release them immediately as

Hey, I'm looking for an alternative to Antigravity IDE. Before the update, it was working reasonably well for agentic workflows using Gemini CLI and Antigravity. After the update and the limitations, I'm thinking about an alternative. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I mainly use it for code split into

A lot of agent demos remind me of what happened when microservices first became popular. Everyone was excited about splitting systems into smaller components. It looked elegant in diagrams.

I benchmarked 13 models at 65K-128K context to find out what actually matters for agentic workloads — prefill dominates everything, and KV head count beats parameter count I've been running local LLMs for agentic workflows (tool use, coding agents, RAG) and kept seeing people obsess over tg128 (to
