I have been trying to run Qwen Coder models (8B at 4bit) on my M3 Pro 18GB behind Ollama and connecting codex CLI to it. The tool usage seems practically zero, like it returns the tool call in text JSON and codex CLI doesn’t run the tool (just displays the tool call in text). Has anyone succeeded in doing something like this? What am I missing?

afaiu not all of their models are open weight releases, this one so far is not open weight (?)
What would a good coding model to run on an M3 Pro (18GB) to get Codex like workflow and quality? Essentially, I am running out quick when using Codex-High on VSCode on the $20 ChatGPT plan and looking for cheaper / free alternatives (even if a little slower, but same quality). Any pointers?

Another common Indian word is prepone, the opposite of postpone.
I have never come across the "where" example.
The article misses out on many common usages, and cites some rather unremarkable ones.
I agree. The articles misses some really good ones, - prepone, max-to-max (ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा), scanner (for payment QR-codes)

Does it work? I get thrown to homepage without anything after uploading screenshots and clicking the CTA. Bug? Or intentional?
Some things I’m curious to hear from HN:
(1) Are you optimizing your content for LLMs yet? (2) What do you think AI traffic will look like 6–12 months from now? (3) What kinds of AI visibility issues have you run into?
Happy to answer anything about how we built the tool or what’s under the hood too.
