I've been playing with small models that can fit on the pitiful 8gb of VRAM on my Radeon RX 7600. So far qwen3.5-9b-artemis has done pretty well at solving merge conflicts on rebases which involves some tool calling. I might try some of the other tooling tuned versions if anyone has any recommendations.
I didn't have much joy with any of the Gemma4 models but that might have been due to API differences.
