Confetti now has the AndroidMakers data thanks to @zsmb.co 🙏

Using qwen3.5:4b-nvfp4 in this example

M5 Max laptop arrived and starting to try out various local models (as part of Koog AI agent using Ollama integration).

Latency numbers looking pretty good so far. This one is a 4B parameter model but working really well for example I'm using (e.g. very reliable tool calling)

The world of #AI is expansive and ever changing. Most of it filters down for all practical purposes to a couple of key concepts and tools. It's more than sufficient to know those and expand your knowledge if/when needed.

309 - Background Agents - Fragmented | AI Developer Podcast Andrej Karpathy says the goal is to maximize how long an agent runs without your intervention. But there’s a false summit most teams hit first: individual speed goes up while system speed stalls, lapt...

Another useful Claude prompt!

"add comments to all the Kotlin files....write in way to use as "speaker notes" during live coding session"

Very cool to see! Showing this data in Claude Desktop using MCP Server from the ClimateTraceKMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Cli...).

That makes use of the Kotlin MCP SDK (github.com/modelcontext...) and Ktor to connect to the @climatetrace.org endpoint.

Yeah, very cool to see all the developments these days with local models. I have an M1 Max so not particularly fast but not too bad. Getting M5 Max soon so really looking forward to seeing how it performs on that.

Ollama 0.20.0-rc0 available and with it the new Google DeepMind Gemma 4 local model. Trying it here as part of a Koog AI agent (screenshot thanks to Koog's OpenTelemetry langfuse integration)

And then there were 14! (from github.com/joreilly/Peo... #KMP/#CMP sample)

This is either brilliant or scary:

Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA.

BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

Pretty basic agent with a few tool calls but haven't seen any issues yet

Tried new qwen3.5:4b-nvfp4 Ollama model on M1 Max here (in project where it's used with Koog AI agent)...38% faster than qwen3.5:4b (averaged over 5 runs of the agent).

I asked Gemini and it initially claimed that I shouldn't see increase in performance like this...asked again and got following 😀

Loving the Claude/Slack integration.....so nice to be able to use for querying for example history of discussion on particular topic or conclusions reached etc

And using the Kotlin MCP SDK for that server (github.com/modelcontext...) ....part of shared KMP code in the project and using Ktor to make requests to @climatetrace.org endpoint to get the data

The interactive chart support in Claude is really nice. This is based on data from an MCP server in the ClimateTrace KMP sample (github.com/joreilly/Cli...)

The @climatetrace.org APIs had some big enough changes between v6 and v7 but migrations like this so much easier now with likes of Claude Code (using OpenAPI spec changes)!
