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

France doesn't need “reforms” though, quite the opposite. France needs a project , and a project behind which the French population can rally. Because unpopular “reforms” carried on by centrists with a Thatcher envy is all we got over
