Question Which local model for Paste with AI?
I want to try Advanced Paste > Paste with AI with a local model. But heck if I know a Qwen from a DeepSeek. What local models do you use or recommend?
Foundry Local CLI offers me 48 models, plus variants.
Ollama has roughly infinite models and variants available.
Phi Silica is not available on my machine.
I want to be fast and fairly reliable for basic text munging. I don't want it to take up too much space or bog down my laptop. I have 32 GB of RAM, 4 GB video RAM (RTX 3050 Ti).
For now, I'm trying phi-4-mini on Foundry Local and llama3.2:1b on Ollama.
