Devstral

The first number I look at these days is the file size via Ollama, which for this model is 14GB https://ollama.com/library/devstral/tags

I find that on my M2 Mac that number is a rough approximation to how much memory the model needs (usually plus about 10%) - which matters because I want to know how much RAM I will have left for running other applications.

Anything below 20GB tends not to interfere with the other stuff I'm running too much. This model looks promising!

Any agentic dev software you could recommend that runs well with local models?

I’ve been using Cursor and I’m kind of disappointed. I get better results just going back and forth between the editor and ChatGPT

I tried localforge and aider, but they are kinda slow with local models
