10 Architectural Optimizations That Turned My 9B Model into a Zero-Cost, Task-Completing Local AI Agent I recently stumbled upon a leaked TypeScript codebase for Claude Code, revealing a behavioral control framework that transforms small models into disciplined task executors. Testing these principles on a 9B model (qwen3.5:9b) on an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, I achieved reliable multi-step task execution without API fees. Here’s how: Optimization: Structured Prompts Boost Output Quality # Before (Prose Prompt) Please analyze this code snippet for issues.
