- If you want to try this out, at least one reader had success with the [Will it Blend?](/blog/engineering/will-it-blend) approach. Point your existing coding agent with hosted models at this blog post, and ask it to set Pi and Qwen up on your machine. Best let it ask you some questions on what you want to do, and look into your hardware. This is different for mac or for Linux (I would avoid Windows for this, if possible). NVIDIA is easier than AMD for GPU. I do have this working on AMD, with [Lemonade Server](https://lemonade-server.ai), but I do not know if agents will find that by themselves.
Full disclosure: I am long APPL, NVDA and BABA (AliBaba, makers of QWEN). I use other hardware and models too and don't have much Nvidia hardware.

> Why don't I just use [..] Claude Code? I had problems due to a lack of optimization for small context windows. Long-running tasks that complete large projects independently matter for me, so no Claude Code.
So maybe my intuition is right. I am not doing long running tasks like I was doing with Cladue Code _yet_ with Pi and Qwen. This shows it is possible, and might even be better. Detailed prompts and deterministic harnesses make the difference between frontier models and harnesses smaller. More about that maybe later. I hope this helps you, let me know if you have any questions or remarks.
