A comprehensive technical guide on setting up a high-performance local large language model environment for agentic coding tasks. The author demonstrates how to run a quantized Qwen3.5-27B model on a remote RTX 4090 workstation and access it from a MacBook using Tailscale, integrating the setup with OpenCode and Codex.
Key topics include:
* Step-by-step llama.cpp build configuration for CUDA support.
* Using Tailscale to create a secure network between client and GPU machine.
* Optimizing VRAM usage through specific quantization (UD-Q4_K_XL) and context size management.
* Implementing a corrected chat template to prevent tool-calling errors in agentic workflows.
* Performance insights regarding hybrid architectures and KV cache precision.

graphify is an AI coding assistant skill that transforms codebases, documents, and images into a structured, queryable knowledge graph. By utilizing deterministic AST parsing via tree-sitter for code and multimodal LLM capabilities for unstructured data like PDFs and screenshots, it creates a comprehensive map of concepts and relationships. This allows developers to understand complex architectures faster and find the "why" behind design decisions. A key advantage is its massive reduction in token usage per query compared to reading raw files, making it highly efficient for large-scale projects. The tool supports 19 programming languages and integrates seamlessly with platforms like Claude Code and Codex, providing an interactive, persistent, and highly organized way to navigate any codebase or research corpus.
