LocalLLaMA users expand beyond Qwen, GLM

A Reddit discussion in r/LocalLLaMA asks what models people are using beyond Qwen and GLM, with commenters naming alternatives like Gemma 3, MiniMax M2.5, Nemotron, Phi-4, and K2-V2-Instruct. The thread also highlights OCR-specific tool choices such as Marker and Granite Docling.

// ANALYSIS

Community threads like this are useful early signal for real-world local model adoption, even when they are not formal launches.

–Practitioners are mixing fast small models and heavier long-context models based on task, not hype.
–Nemotron and MiniMax show up as practical alternatives in active use, not just benchmark mentions.
–OCR remains a separate workflow lane where specialized tools (Marker, Granite Docling) beat general text models.

Plannotator 0.19.24 adds Amp support and configurable storage

Plannotator 0.19.24 is a substantial release that expands the tool beyond Claude Code with native Amp support, adds a `PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR` override so users can move the default `~/.plannotator` data directory, introduces Auto Mode in the permission selector for newer Claude Code versions, and fixes a Pi approval crash after plan acceptance. The update folds multiple stacked PRs into one release and pushes the project further toward a multi-agent review layer rather than a single-agent hook utility.
