I started with Karpathy's LLM wiki, and did everything he said not to do - downgraded the model to mere tool usage and summarization, and it works great.
I am a data hoarder, and finally I can just dump all the content I remotely like, and get something interesting to browse for the price of electricity.
Agentic long-running tasks, as others have mentioned:
- Groom and triage tickets for agentic SWE workflows
- bug hunt — the probability of Qwen fixing a complex bug is 50/50 but often it is capable of identifying the root cause or at least laying the ground work for a more capable model to pick it up.
Keep in mind Obsidian is open standard JS plugins... You know what can write open standard JS plugins?
Classic which comes first, LLM or the plugin, though. :-)
Sure a lot of this could be done without AI, but it's certainly quicker and easier, and since my AI box is on solar, it's just the power of the sun to keep it going.
