Colibri

I asked a local 30B model to write a blog post and to flag what it was unsure of. It flagged one thing and got 22 wrong.

I gave one blog brief to Qwen3-Coder 30B running locally through Colibri and Ollama, and through Claude Code as an agent. Timings, every factual error I found, and what I will use local models for.

A day of running the same 30B coding model through Ollama and Colibri, on my desktop and on my Linux server.

I gave Qwen3-Coder 30B, running locally through Colibri on a desktop APU, a standard task: a network scanner in Python and in Go. How fast it was, what memory did to that speed, what the code got wrong, and whether I would use it again.

Two ways to run AI models on your own machine, tested with the same 30B model on a Linux server and a Windows desktop: what each is for, how to start, what I measured and which to try first.
