The 397B model can be run at home with the weights stored on an SSD (or on 2 SSDs, for double throughput).

Probably too slow for chat, but usable as a coding assistant.

I think you have that backwards. Agentic coding is way more demanding than simple chat. The request/response loops (tool calling) are much tighter and more numerous, and the context is waaaaay bigger in general.

In processing power, but chat is interactive. Agentic coding, you come up with a plan and sign off on it, and then just let it go for a while. It's the difference between speed and latency.
