Yeah, I'm using qwen 31b a3b on an amd 9070xt requires a bit of cpu offloading, but still plenty fast. Using it wall llama.cpp. Combine that with some mcp's such as ddg-search to make it truly useful by actually being able to search online.
I mostly use it for small tedious tasks with well defined inputs and outputs. For example when hyprland recently changed from their own configuration language to lua. At first I started going line by line translating my config to the new lua language until I realized oh wait this is exactly the type of thing that ML is useful for. Going from the well defined hyprland configuration language to their also well defined lua syntax. It banged it out in less than a minute with only a single mistake which I easily fixed. The mistake it made was that it forgot to translate the comments to lua. It did it in less than a minute and worked first try. Where as I had made several typos and gotten a few lines wrong when I was doing it by hand.
Not to say that I couldn't do it. I would have gotten it done in about half an hour, but less than a minute is a lot faster.
I also used it to transform a bunch of unstructured data into json data, so that I could then use purpose built tools like jq to parse that. If I'm having trouble finding certain information. I'll ask it to find me some resources to look at.
Basically small well defined tasks and parsing data is what I use it for and it seems to be pretty good at that.
What I don't like is the way companies try to market it to people. I don't believe people should be trying to summarize emails or messages from loved ones, writing essays or any other creative tasks for the most part. Translating is okay. I don't expect a machine to be able to decide things for me or to be some filter between me and others.
