The author demonstrates running it locally using LM Studio and Open WebUI, tests its coding capabilities with Space Invaders implementation, and shows how to access it via command-line tools with tool calling support. The model performs well for coding tasks and can run efficiently on 64GB or even 32GB Macs when quantized. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
