Field notes
All field notes →- Ollama vs llama.cpp: a paired test with the same 3B model
Our controlled pair showed modest generation differences and different process-memory and Docker-image footprints. It did not establish a universal runtime winner.
- How much RAM did our 3B local model actually use?
We observed 1.6–2.2 GB in the model processes running one 3B GGUF. Those numbers are not whole-system RAM requirements or a recommendation for a particular laptop.
- OpenCode with a 3B model: check the files, not just the exit status
OpenCode created the requested file in all three small-model attempts, but passed neither of the other tasks. Its hosted-model rerun passed all nine attempts.
