I used Ollama with Qwen 3.8 27b on my MBP for a flight to try some experimentation and found that it was shockingly good at one of the more complex PDF processing tasks.

Like seat-of-the-pants good as Opus 5.5 but a bit slower and required just a bit more prompting to get what I wanted (which is fine for an app pipeline).
