Running an 8-agent research swarm with a local 40B model on one 48GB M4 Pro
cong_ml · x · 2026-10-27
- congml demonstrated a research agent swarm running entirely on a Mac, model included: eight agents share one local 40B Flint model on a 48 GB M4 Pro.
- Setup: give the agents a problem and a score to beat; they write code, test ideas, and build on whatever works.
- The author explains the how-to in a thread — a practical reference for anyone wanting to reproduce an on-device agent swarm.
