  1. Getting good output from Lens

    If your Lens recaps come out cluttered with reasoning preambles or hallucinated detail, the fix is almost always upstream of Lens. A field guide to picking a model and configuring LM Studio for clean daily snapshots.

  4. Running real models locally on a Mac Studio that isn't new anymore

    How I run a multimodal LLM on four-year-old hardware to read a family archive without sending anything to the cloud.
