As an experiment I took, not this current quant, of Qwen 3.8 27B and had it analyze some of my writing in CPU-only mode with llamacpp. Tried a Q4 and Q5. It was dreadfully slow, but you fire that off before bed, and you can get results the next day. This was a ~6000 word markdown file, took maybe 10 minutes before it started generating anything at all, but then it just cranks away. I would need to tune down the default thinking intensity, but it otherwise did the job.

Not compatible with vibe coding, but if you want a local tool to review content, it is possible today.

I’ve been using Bonsai 2 (also based off of Qwen3.8 27B) on my mac mini in this way (using pizza-bot for the harness). In my case I’ve been using more for deep web search type stuff. It’s been a nice workflow to kick off a request in the evening and come back to a 1 page report on it the next morning.
