Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into GLM Air, I haven't looked into the current state of the art for self-hosting in a while.
I just use this model to translate natural language into JSON commands for my home automation system. I probably don't need a reasoning model, but it doesn't need to be super quick. A typical query uses very few tokens (like 3-4 keys in JSON).
The next project will be some kind of agent. A 'go and Google this and summarize the results' agent at first. I haven't messed around much with MCP Servers or Agents (other than for coding). The image models I'm using are probably pretty dated too, they're all variants of SDXL and I stopped messing with ComfyUI before video generation was possible locally, so I gotta grab another few hundred GB of models.
It's a lot to keep up with.😮💨
Massive understatement!
Yeah, you do want more contextual intelligence than an 8B for this.
Actually SDXL is still used a lot! Especially for the anime stuff. It just got so much finetuning and tooling piled on.
