Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B is surprisingly OK on a medium-range business laptop (Lenovo). A bit slow for agentic coding of course but fine for any chatbot use-case.

I saw a company pitching almost exactly this on linkedin earlier this month. Except not as a portable heater but as your house's central heating system.

Of course, but the power dissipated in a data center provide zero heat for your house. (Tangent: I wonder why we haven't seen deployment of organic Rankin cycle generators in AI data centers, the exhaust temperature should be compatibl
