Most people look at four RTX 3060s with 12GB of VRAM each and see a budget build. I looked at it and saw something else: the exact hardware configuration that the current generation of compressed, sparse, speculative models was designed around. Here’s my argument. With quad Multi-GPU systems, the PCI has been the bottleneck. Each […]
Earlier this summer, I tried running the QWEN3-CODER-NEXT Open Weights LLM Model locally on one of my Threadripper 64GB AI Workstations with 4 RTX-3060 12GB using layers across my 48GB of combined VRAM. With QWEN3-CODER-NEXT, I was able to replicate my original Lunar Lander game in Unity C# but it was very slow at 5.06 […]
During my Summer break from teaching at Northwest University, I upgraded my home AI workstations with more memory to run larger local Open Source and Open Weights 48GB LLM Models using CrewAI. I also needed to bake lighting in some of my very large Unity 3D open world environments (e.g. Exodus Vigil, Castle Quest) using […]
Back in late March, I figured out how to install OpenClaw on my Windows 11 PC “securely” with the new NVIDIA NemoClaw. NemoClaw provides OpenClaw an extra level of security and privacy so it can run more securely on your PC. Currently it is still in early alpha! I started with the Early Preview version and […]
Back in February I started testing the NeoStack AI Plugin by BETIDE STUDIO for AI assisted Unreal Engine game development. The NeoStack AI plugin is still in Beta, and I am currently testing the latest beta version (v1.0.66). In addition to using OpenRouter to run free LLM models, NeoStack AI recently added the capability to […]
On March 5th, 2026, OpenAI released GPT-5.4 GPT-5.4 brings together the best of their “recent advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows into a single frontier model”. OpenAI said that GPT-5.4 “incorporates the industry-leading coding capabilities of GPT‑5.3‑Codex while improving how the model works across tools, software environments, and professional tasks involving spreadsheets, presentations, and […]
Epic Games recently acquired Meshcapade, a startup specializing in AI technologies for creating and animating hyper-realistic digital humans. Meshcapade, a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems based in Tübingen, Germany, develops AI tools that generate precise 3D body models and animations from video recordings. Meshcapade’s AI tools, built on the SMPL (Skinned […]
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6 on February 17, 2026 – almost 2 weeks after releasing their flagship Claude Opus 4.6 model. Below are the latest benchmarks that Anthropic published in their Claude Sonnet 4.6 announcement: You can read more about Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6 here.
In this article, I will compare two specific domains: coding an agentic application (e.g., autonomous AI agents that use tools, plan multi-step workflows, interact with environments like terminals/browsers, debug in loops, and handle real-world software engineering) and game development (e.g., designing game logic, implementing mechanics in engines like Pygame/Unity-style code, handling physics/AI/pathfinding, procedural generation, balancing […]
