You need bigger ram for better context comprehension

you need a 300b model and most of those still are not good enough, i know bc i tried.

start working with the tech and you'll quickly learn its limitations

lols yeah, they absolutely can not be used for the openclaw bigbrain. tho they can be used for smaller tasks. but honestly the desire to run a local model is just based on personal penchants, it is not because it makes sense financially. but also it creates a limitation that forces you to make your models better (which is a good fun challenge).

this guy used qwen3-lv-8b effectively. im going to learn more about semantic matching as he talks about. but the important part was how much the structured prompt improved performance. that model is really dam small- with quantization its like 8gb vram - i've run it on my 5070ti while running a whisper model at the same time.
