@emory@soc.kvet.ch have you tried gemma4 lately? it's quite nice for reasoning without needing substantial resources, runs locally on mobile w/ NPU better than anything I've previously tested. otherwise, yep.. MCP are the new shiny methods to automate agent flows (also vLLM and friends, for additional optimization).

@winterschon@mastodon.bsd.cafe i haven't measured the impact of those tools yet, at one point before i understood how it worked i had like 30 😱🤦 i have been experimenting with gemma4 on iOS and ollama, i am testing it alongside a couple other suitable-for-home-compute to see if i could assemble something like my PAI but self-contained under pi-agent. PAI has a release for that harness now, it's pared down a bit making it easier to understand as well. mcp-as-directory and using APIs is a pattern i love lately.
