AI experiments and sidequests
Agentic workflows. Local-first AI. Secure business logic.
I build AI agents that run entirely on your own hardware - no sensitive data to the cloud.
Daily AI experiments, consulting projects - and a build log of coding sidequests.
Tools
LLM licenses: open weights are not open source
Notes
Quick posts for everything that doesn't need a full article - local LLMs, CSS, keto. One page each.

Tech news
Poolside puts Laguna S 2.1 out as open weights
118B-A8B coding model under OpenMDW-1.1, same pre-training data as the 33B XS. The smallest GGUF is 33.8 GB - this one is not a single-consumer-card model.
InternScience ships Agents-A1 under Apache 2.0
A 35B-A3B agentic model with vision, tool calling and 262K context that fits one consumer card - and a real Apache 2.0 licence, which almost nothing in this class carries.
