Code quality and IDEs aren't going anywhere, especially in complex enterprise systems. AI has improved a lot, but we're still far from a "forget about code" world.

I stopped using Ollama a couple of months ago. Not out of frustration, but because llama.cpp has improved a lot recently with router mode, hot-swapping, a modern and simple web UI, MCP support and lots of other improvements.

In my experience if you're coding or doing something that requires precision, quantizing the kv cache is definitely not worth it.

If you're just chatting or doing less precise things it's 1000% worth it going down to Q8 or sometimes even Q4

I remember someone on HN once saying they treat LLM agents like human coworkers, security-wise, and that stuck with me.

You don't give your GH keys, email credentials and ssh keys to a coworker. They have their own accounts with scoped permissions. Need them to read an email? Forward it. Need them to work on a repo? Add them as a contributor and enforce the same branch policies you would for any human.

There are still risks, but they're similar to delegating work to humans, so it's up to you how much access and trust to give.

Interesting. If you look at the sources it cited, there are a few links about "Sacred Songs and Solos" (likely from related/side content on the page), my guess is it didn't read the main article and instead anchored on those and hallucinated

That’s not what it means. "-it" just indicates the model is instruction-tuned, i.e. trained to follow prompts and behave like an assistant. It doesn’t imply anything about whether thinking tokens like <think>....</think> were included or excluded during training. Thats a separate design choice and varies by model.
