Qwen-3-Coder-Next is an 80 billion parameter model 159.4GB in size. That's roughly how much RAM you would need to run it, and that's before thinking about long context windows. This is not considered a big model. Rumors have it that frontier models have over 1 trillion parameters, which would require at least 2TB of RAM. The last time I saw that much RAM in one machine was never.

It still shocks me how much difference there is between AI users. I think it explains a lot about the often confusing (to me) coverage in the media about AI and its productivity impact.

Thus: the personal becomes private and programmable.

Then I let it use these agent skills to review itself. Boom, it cut itself down to 70 lines of clean, solid instructions.

heoretically, we should have a stellar AI agent for every problem in our lives by now. The talent is there, the capital is certainly there, and the models are increasingly capable. And yet, the results are lopsided. Why is it that we have agents that can prospect for sales leads and answer support tickets accurately, but we don’t seem to be able to consistently generate high quality slides?The simplest explanation might be complexity. Easier problems (e.g., answer a support question) naturally get solved first, and more open-ended problems like slide generation require more effort. That doesn’t quite hold up: Coding is obviously not a simple application area, and yet coding agents are some of the best that we have today – in fact, they are improving faster than any other single agent use case.How did this happen? Ease of adoption enabled data collection at scale that in turn helped coding agents improve rapidly.Every developer could switch to Cursor in 5 minutes without any approval. That created a data flywheel (more on this below) that allowed the Cursor team to build a better application experience over time
