  1. I am using qwen3-vl:8b and ollama for doing OCR on scans of handwritten letters and it is doing a decent job. Any other models I should know about for this kind of OCR?

  2. I've been trying out the agent-skills pattern that's trending on GitHub (addyosmani/agent-skills, obra/superpowers) and what surprised me most isn't the slash commands or the auto-routing. It's the /spec before code rule.

  3. Hi r/LocalLLaMA, Wanted to share something I'm excited about. I've been fascinated by AlphaEvolve and its results for more than a year now, but running the open source frameworks gets expensive fast.

  4. Hello everyone I am totally new to LocalLLMs and only used chatGPT/Claude/NotebookLM before. So bear with me 😃 I'm an attorney and would like to analyze and summarize case files locally for privacy/confidentiality reasons.

  5. In a recent build I did I used dual R9700 32GB cards but I wanted to see how a single R9700 stacked up against other hardware I had access to. I created a simple benchmark with llama-bench and ran it on a few different setups.
