The first step to learn a new language is to break your tongue: listen and struggle to repeat. Don't use somebody elses strugglings in your own language for that, it's merely a hint of vocal chains they are unused to. You have to stumble yourself the opposite way.

    Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is the most powerful model you could run on your sell-eventually desktop, because it is MOE (mixture of experts) you can split its 22GB 4bit variant over both CPU and GPU and achieve workable performance. Use llama.cpp-cuda directly to save overhead, Claude can even help you set up a performance tested start script for your configuration. Hopefully Qwen3.8 will drop soon in a similar variant. On the other hand, deepseek 4 flash on openrouter.ai beats it easily and is energy cost level cheap. I would take that route over smaller models on programming duty on your weaker hardware.

    Thank you for your recommendation, I'll try it. I'm sad how expensive the full version is, I don't need cloud sync and it is not that complex of an app to warrant spending €75, or worse, €36/year.

    It is a common trophy for prominent romans to trace their heritage down to the gods in order to add legitimacy to their extraordinariness. Jupiter knocked up virgins left and right, that was a common story why someone would be in a heritage of devine decent. I believe the biblic storytellers did the same to give their protagonist the legitimacy and importance that was required by the times.
