semantic search is a great use case. get a good embedding model and setup Postgres with pgvector, and i can semantic search my Obsidian D&D notes

Erotic roleplay and messing around 😊

I deal with a lot of scientific imagery for work and I've recently started experimenting with what I can do with local vision capable LLMs (e.g. qwen3.6, gemma4) to cut down on some of the really tedious parts of the work and improve maintenance processes. The fact that they can just do OCR automatically on labels burned into the image and then combine that with a comparison to additional images and output a judgement is very useful...

Glorified search engine.

Long-form RP and language translation.

The most useful use case for me is querying a knowledge base in NotebookLM. I work on CPU emulation and it does a very good job of extracting the relevant information from thousands of pages of dry technical specs and preparing the requirements for implementing a particular feature.

The Deep Research mode of Gemini is pretty good at generating some briefing notes (with links) and can do that in the background once you kick it off.

I feel like I collect models more than I use them lol. Right now I have been running GPT-OSS 20b and have enjoyed its output.

Mainly using it for planning I guess? Helping me come up with a job proposal for work, exploring the framework for a book idea, giving me the basic for new powershell scripts, garden planning.

Sometimes I just ask random weird questions just to see what it says.
