A local-model enthusiast predicts more hobbyists will ask frontier LLMs like Opus or Asta to build custom quantizations of their favorite models, tailored to specific hardware, context size and precision needs. He plans to try an off-the-shelf unsloth quant of Qwen 4 first, but already intends to have Opus build a quant specifically for his machine.
