Pewdiepie's "Odysseus" local AI model - thoughts?

If you want to play with local AI and you have a beefy PC or Laptop, get “LM Studio” or “Ollama”. I’m using Ollama Server on a home server myself. Server hardware is expensive, if you want anything useful. So I recommend to start learning by doing before buying. For Models: I liked “Ministral-3-8b/14b”, “Mistral-Small-3.1/24b”, “Gemma-4-26b”, “Qwen3.6-27b” best, so far. For a starting out on your own PC/Laptop: “Ministral-3-8b” and “Gemma-4-4b” deliver a good experience.
