@djh Btw I'm not a expert, but if I use the 7/14B Model, there is always a "thinking" paragraph in the output. I assumed that was the reasoning part?
I need to dig through it but it looks DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B seems to be a sweet spot? I gave it a try and my MacBook is just able run it and the coding results also look better.
