What it adds

ollama-qwen3.5-9b (alias qwen-local), a second model on this computer. It comes from yarn models:verify-local qwen3.5:9b against Ollama 0.40.5 (MLX runner, nvfp4):

  • native tool calls (single, parallel and streamed), vision, and the reasoning rungs off/high;
  • no format: the MLX runner refuses it, so JSON is sent as a tool call, as for Gemma;
  • 7.7 GB of weights and about 69 KB of cache per token at q8_0. That's about 10 GB at the agents' 32K window, which fits a 24 GB Mac's 19.1 GB of GPU memory, where Gemma 26B spills.

Like every local entry under D18, it is assignable in the local edition but recommended for no role. The usefulness tier, which isn't built yet, decides recommendations.

Also

Testing

  • yarn models:verify-local qwen3.5:9b reports OK ollama-qwen3.5-9b; gemma4:26b reports OK ollama-gemma4-26b.
  • yarn typecheck passes; test:changed runs 170 tests, all passing.

After merging

A tenant with its own model allowlist must add the model to it under Tenant Admin before a space can select it. The dev tenant's allowlist names Gemma explicitly.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

`yarn models:verify-local qwen3.5:9b` against Ollama 0.40.5 (MLX, nvfp4):
native single, parallel and streamed tool calls, vision, off/high
reasoning, no `format`; 7.7 GB of weights and about 69 KB of cache per token
at q8_0, so about 10 GB at the agents' 32K window — inside a 24 GB Mac's GPU
where Gemma 26B spills. Assignable in the local edition like every local
entry, recommended for no role until the usefulness tier exists.

The probe scripts send through localRuntimeFetch, now exported: Gemma's
re-verification took 8½ minutes, which Node's own fetch cut at five.
