Doing real coding work locally for the first time

I thought it would take way longer (and a macbook of the future) to do real coding locally. But it is happening in front of my eyes right now! Im using qwen3.5 35b EDIT: qwen 3.6 35B (mlx 4bit, running on omlx). It is not comparable to the big models, but it is the first that is starting to cross the line of being productive agentically. It has a level of intelligence enough not only to answer in a chat, but to solve problems, to code and to use tools. And it is FAST. The other part of the equation is how to give it powers to do agentic tasks.
